Roberto released her hands and rubbed his upper mustache, "How can I say this without scaring you..." He took a deep breath, leaning back in his chair, "Has Senior Mitica told you how King Judus survived the... attack.. upon himself and the other men of his family?"

"Yes," Violet said. Then she her eye brows came together for a moment and then she smiled widely. "So, you were one of the men who helped him?"

"Non..." Roberto said, grinning from ear to ear, "I was de Captain... Non, De King of the fleet dat pulled him from de drink. He was much younger... a little debil..." He paused and translated for her, "A little weak... from being afloat so long... But he looked into my eye with such strength... I say to my men, 'let us keep dis water rat'. I did not know him, being so common born, but he was worth keeping. I know dat."
The woman snorted, "A thief and roughneck, using our brave prince for his own needs..."

"Sounds like good times," Violet said, laughing a bit at the woman's reaction.

Roberto kept his temper thanks to Violet's reaction but drew his knife, "I am no longer a thief... But if the Senoritas wish..." His eyes hardened though his smile did not drop, "I can show you both a 'roughneck'."

"but it is such a peaceful night," Violet said. "Not the right weather for an adventure like that." She smiled, trying to calm him again.

"Si.. Si, Senorita..." Roberto chuckled, placing his knife on the table. It was nearly as wide as Violet's wrist, "Some day I well have to show you my skills with de blade... They are not as artistic as Senor Mitica, But they are still quiet impressive."

"I'd imagine they would be," Violet replied. "It seems appropriate for some one with your work experience." Again, she was acting friendly, but straight-forward.

"Tell me Senorita..." Roberto leaned close to her, "You do not have the manners of most of the Ambassadors I have... eh... Taken onto my ship..." He dropped his voice, "Are you truely here to be such?"

"No one is more fit to be here from my land than I," Violet replied, truthfully. She was very good at lying with the truth.

"And I am the b*****d son of a pig farmer," Roberto laughed, taking a long drink from his goblet, "None is more fit for my title, el infierno... None are fit for my title."
"Capitán de navío," Mitica called around Violet, "Isn't it a little early to be getting so drunk?"
"It is never to early to be drunk," Roberto called raising his goblet, "¡Viva el rey!"
A group of men in a far corner cheered loudly, and several blond men on the other tables raised their goblets and answered his call. Others frowned at Roberto's sudden outburst, but all took a drink from their own goblet. Judus smiled dropping his chin a little, "Gracias, Capitán, I intend to..."

Violet raised her brows a bit, a little confused at what had just happened. But she did not question it.

"El Capitán called out 'long live the king...' In the southerner's tongue." Mit said leaning close to Violet, "It is a call for all loyal to the king to raise his goblet and drink in his health after this call is made. El Capitán is already a little drunk... so he'll probably make that toast more than once tonight..."

Violet nodded her understanding. "Thanks," she said.

Tora had no sweet clue what the Captain guy was saying so he quickly finished his meal and walked over to stand next to Violet. He would attack if the drunk foreigner attacked Violet.
