Diego waved a hand in the direction of the voice; he could hear the cats as their paws thumped on the wood. He turned to the rail and ran his hand along it, checking for flaws. All seemed well; today was pretty boring as days at sea go.

The bird walked over to the bat, his wings stretching out before returning to their folded position on his back.
"The fog should lift soon, and we are near land. So we may run into a ship soon. Is the ship in condition for battle, Diego?"
Mana liked to talk to Diego. The man was older than him so he had more experience. Having only been a member of the ship for about 6 months, he was still the young blood.

Diego turned toward Mana as he spoke. "Of course the old girl is ready. My lovely could look into the eye of the kraken and smile and capture his heart, she could." The bat patted the rail affectionately as he spoke; it was a normal for craftsmen to become rather possessive of their ships. "I went down in the longboat yesterday to check the sides. Took me all day." He paused to remember feeling along the sides, checking for errors; yesterday was a loooong day.

"Aye, but we need some more rope and some sail. They could use with some repair. I just hope we see some action soon. I pray to Ogoun that he sends us a good fight."
Mana remembered watching Diego feel his way around the ship yesterday. He had been helping William make rope repairs and thought it was interesting to watch the bat's hand find any flaw or board out place and repair it.

"Oh look, another kitty!" Amie exclaims after setting eyes upon Nicky. She lifts her hand toward the cat, beaconing it to come smell her. It's alright little one, I won't hurt you." She tells it softly. All the while her other hand continues to scratch Scraps chin. Looking to the young man with the beautiful ivory wings, and long, flowing golden hair, "Is this cat yours? What's its name?"

Nicky purred happily at getting attention. Then she saw Scrap. Her favorite playmate. Ignoring Amie she quickly pounced on the other feline and mewed happily.
Mana looked over and smirked at his little terror, poor Scrap, he was always her favorite toy.
"Aye, thats my Darling Nicky. She likes to play with her boyfriend there. Thinks it makes me jealous, she does."

Amie jumps back a bit at the sudden movement of the orange cat, then stands and looks at Mana. "Jealous of a cat? Being the strapping young lad that you are I thought you'd be able to woo any woman, especially after wrapping those beautiful white wings of yours around them."

Mana sighed a bit, his face saddening. He turned away from the feline woman and leaned against the rail. Though he was well into manhood at 18 he had yet to even get a romantic kiss out of a girl. Wings were pretty but they still held a taboo that even the street walkers would avoid.
"You'd be surprised at how often women change their mind when the romantic idea starts to be come real."

Amie strides up aside him, her tails swooshing back and forth, occasionally brushing against the back of his leg. "Aww, you poor boy. Well, Just tell yourself, they don't know what they're missing. They should feel humbled to catch your gaze." Turning around and leaning her elbows on the railing she gives him a reassuring wink, "You'll find someone special someday. Then you'll be glad you hadn't sullied yourself on some random harlot."

"Some how I doubt it. I was not born to live and love. I am a punishment, I merely exist to be a reminder. The only thing left in my life to do is to die. I accept that, and I will accept death when my time comes."
He said this all rather matter of fact. The vision of his father crossing his mind as he stared out over the sea. The look of disgust from his mother, the angry words spoken by his father towards the creator, and both their deaths. Was he merely an angel of punishment? Or did he have another purpose? He just didn't know.

Amie stares at him a couple seconds, and blinks, kind of clueless. Then starts up talking again "Pfft, what kind of logic is that? You need to relax a bit. Everyone will find someone to love, it's just the nature of things. There has to be someone other than me who can appreciate a fairy tale romance come true. A young man, long blonde hair and pure white wings? You've probably got a better chance finding someone than me." she explains to him, turning out to face the... fog, "Hm, kind of drab scenery, perfect for moping huh."

"Oh my dear, how could anyone not want a woman who can purr and loves a good petting?"
The angel smirked at the cat then looked out to the fog.
"Yes, rather annoying as well. I want to fly but its far too dangerous right now."

"It's not as alluring as you might think. They're always want more than I'm willing to give. Then run for the hills when I turn on them." Turning to face him, she asks, "Am I that intimidating?" as she runs her hands through the air around her, outlining her shape.
((I had to think how to make that non-sexual >.>''))

Wicktoria shook her head at the pair. "You are both attractive, what ever your bedding problems are they come from no physical ailments that I can see." She muttered at them, her hands un tieing ropes and placing them one the wooden hooks. "It's the simple fact that we are stuck on this ship that keeps you two chase." She said, grinning at them. "Though could be easily fixed."

Amie looks up at the woman in the rigging with a raised brow, "And what exactly are you implying?"
