Caden blinked a few times as he watched his pouch get swiped way and the spyglass was now in his hands. "Son of a..." He sighed and shake his head after he realized what happened, damn pirates. But still he did have the last laugh after all going on a ship filled with pirates he expected that something like his pouch being taken would happen, so he only took so much with him on his person, the rest was hidden in his room somewhere. After all he has been working for the guards for awhile now so he has saved up a nice bit of gold to carry with him. Still right now he couldn't do much and didn't want to cause any trouble with anyone.
"Bloody pirates..." He muttered to himself and shook his head as he collapsed the spyglass and stashed it on his person, he would have to make a pouch or a sling for it later but still he really liked it. "Note to self be a little more careful next time, or stay on the boat." He said as he placed what was left of his money in his pocket and turned around and started to head off towards the ship, though he saw Shyrae and Savvy and smiled a little walking to them. "Well...how did things work out for the two of you?" He asked a little looking back and forth between both elves.

"Of course. come on board the Chimera and you can get aquainted...and that case of rum will be waiting."
And Hunter disappered into the seedy atoll atmosphere...spending his time in the taverns mostly scanning potential crew...and captains. the thought of being master of the Dagger was appealing. she was strong, and one of, if not the, fastest ship on the sands. unless you believed in legends and ghost stories.
But once time was nearing it's end, the crew having gathered the supplies and getting the Chimera ready for sail again, Hunter walked casually onboard with one hand carrying a case of rum, the other some rolled papers.
"Everyone get what they needed that's arrived so far? and miss necromancer, I have a small injury you need to help with if you don't mind making a use of yourself so early in our trip."

When his softer side showed through it was always nice. It was hard to get past the barriers he had around himself that kept him objective and the like. "Yes you did. You tried to use it to make me stay away from you. But I fixed that now didn't I?" Giving him a soft melodic laugh and a smile "I'll behave...besides, you wear your armor and such too often to be a tickle victim these days. Can't get through all that leather, attractive as it may make you, it's still a hinderance to the activity." Another smile. "Promise me that even though we're on this little quest...you'll still take some time out to just be Kaznec?"
"I spend a lot of time with him, it was bound to rub off eventually." Speaking of daddy, she should probably write home before they got too worried about her. After all, she wasn't like thier other children. A look to Caden before she rubbed at her temple again, starting to get a headache now. "We did just fine, let's get back now." The little pack making thier way back to the ship, boarding it a few moments before Hawk had. And clouded eyes turned on the pirate captain. "Do I look like a healer to you? If something happens to be diseased or rotting off, then yet. But you don't seem in any particular agony." Pointing to Shyrae. "She however is a healer." She healed by lifetapping...and she did not want whatever it was he had, personally.

"If you call that fixing..." But features softening at her laugh that was like music to the ears and then he looked down at his clothing, fingering it some. "Well, eventually you'll get your chance. I'm beginning to think it just won't do to walk around in such weather all the time bulked up like this." He would have to resort to his other outfits, a few personal favorites that showed more skin and that would probably also not be such a "hindrance" as she said. Nodding solemnly, he gave her a smile. "Just Kaznec."
Appearing out of nowhere, as was its talent, Xeke circled back to hover by them again. "Wow, was that a smile? Ok Bell, I hate to rain on your parade when you've just made some progress but the captain's packing."

"Tends to happen that way." Wielding her new staff, she made a note to fashion a sling for it so she could carry it on her back, much the way her father always did. He'd shown her many things about such things during the years she was growing up. "Did you manage to convince the pirate to let you have his spyglass. He said he had quite a nice one." She followed along, boarding the ship once again and standing there for a moment. "Oh, dear you were injured." It was true that Savvy wasn't a healer but neither was she per se. "I'll be glad to help if I can. Where did you get injured?"

"Yes I do call it fixing." Straightening out her legs a moment. "Oh really now? That's exciting news. You'll have to start looking out for ambushes of me trying to make you smile. I think I'll enjoy it." Humming a little bar of some melody in her own amusement before a blink at the familiar voice and a look up to Xeke once more. "I know how it goes." Turning eyes back to Kaznec. "Guess that means we have to get back then." Which means she got herself up...only to find herself in the sand again...because well you couldn't get up when your tail was shortened by being wrapped around someone's ankle and that someone was sitting. Partly embarassed laugh as she pulled her tail off his ankle. "Heh...right...tail..." Getting herself back up and then offering a hand to him.
"See, there you go. She's willing, be happy that you're going to be...fixed or something." Dismissive wave before a few blinks and her vision of things turned to almost absolute darkness once more. She was used to it...and well, that's just how things were.

A blink at the mention of ambush until he got her meaning. "Oh, right. Be careful though, I don't take to physical attacks too kindly." As the Seon mysteriously appeared again, he nodded, glancing up at the sky for a moment. "An hour and a half goes by fast. Yes, let's head back to the ship." Though he stared for a moment at her clumsy actions, forgetting that her tail was still wrapped around his ankle. A chuckle dropped from his lips, though it sounded more like a soft cough, and he took her hand to pull himself up as well. "Thanks." Waving to the Seon with his other hand. "Come on, Xeke."
"It's a good thing you're so optimistic. I doubt anyone else can put up with him." It knew Kaz didn't really mind this kind of talk. Either he was used to it or he was well aware of the fact himself. But hovering towards the beckoning hand, it bobbed forward with them. "I wonder what other filthy pirate cesspools the captain will take us to."

"You'll learn to enjoy it after a while and look forward to them, then when they are lacking, you will miss them." Though another smile as he seemed to chuckle...sure it didn't sound too much like one, but she knew his subtle tone changes. But she merely fell into stride with him as they started to make thier way back to the ship, still keeping relatively close due to surroundings. A giggle to Xeke though, "He needs someone to. And I'm sure at least three more."

A thoughtful pause as they started walking. "Perhaps. I won't miss the tickling, I'll just miss you. But from the looks of things with Koto, you're not going anywhere." Things in the market of sorts seemed to be less busy now, perhaps pirates from others ships were pulling out as well, as they were. "You put up with me, Xeke." Merely stating a fact, he wasn't too concerned about what people said behind his back. Or like now... Right to his face.
"Sometimes I'm not so sure..." Pulsing with unreleased magical energy, hovering a bit in front of them. "And I only put up with you because we are bonded, in a way. Jae isn't, thus I applaud her." Its light flared a bit then. "Three more? There must be more interesting things to see out in the world aside from drunkenness and prostitutes."

"Aw, you'd miss me? That's nice to know." To her...it was as if in a way he was saying that he needed her. Which was a nice thing to one. One because it was Kaz and two because when you were a metaphorical tumbleweed it was nice to think maybe you did have a place where people wanted and needed you around. But a slight frown at the mention of Koto...she wasn't so sure. In fact she thought that this may have been the last straw with him. "Perhaps in position in the Guardians...but not so sure about personally."
But a sigh as if to release that thought from her head and thus regain her sunny self. It wasn't often that she was down, but just like everyone else, she had her moments. "Hey, Kaz is nice to hang around with, you just have to know how to indulge him. Like with unexplored ruins and such." She was proud that she could please him in such a manner as well. Few ever did for him. "Xeke...I think you're much to critical sometimes. Just enjoy the ride."

"Well at least one of you gets lucky today."
glancing at shyrae.
"Backside...pistol shot. apparently a little flirtatious actions roused the ire of someone else. Am I going to need to take my pants off?"
heading toward his cabin to drop off rum and papers.

"So would Xeke, he just doesn't admit it." Though taking her arm a moment to pull her closer towards him, avoiding a giant puddle in the middle of the street. "You wouldn't lose your job. Father wouldn't let him, I wouldn't let him. You might have to put up with more attitude though, and live with me instead of with him." Reaching forward, he let the Seon settle in his palm for a moment, frowning down at it. "There, enjoy the ride like Jae said. You know I appreciate you right? You taught me a lot."
"You have a point. And I always feel more useful too when we're exploring dark places. But you know it's important to be picky about where you go, who you hang out with..." Hovering on the dragon's palm and buzzing down for a bit, as if it were thinking. "You put words into my mouth but I'll let it go this once. Because well, maybe I would miss you. Both of you..." Being mushy was not its forte.

Okay, she gave an audible chuckle at the mention of what said wound was. He got shot in the a**...adn that was horribly amusing to her. That was kind of like something her father would do to someone, just for the sheer humor value. Though he'd probably use a pike. That would be even more funny. "Oh yes, treating your a** wound. Very lucky..." Rolling her eyes.
Even though the action was done because of water and him apparently not wanting her to step in it...she'd probably slip and fall if she did attempt to walk through it...it was still nice when he didn't feel the need to keep her at arms length like he did most people. He really wasn't a people toucher at all. "Thanks...and you know, it probably wouldn't be so bad." But a melodic laugh again at Xeke. "You don't have a mouth either, silly. But you do make a fantastic night light. Aw, he cares about us."

Well as they head back to the ship Caden explained that he was able to get the spyglass at full price, though of course he left out the fact that the damn pirate ripped him off; luckily for the guard he had more gold to spend but when he returned to his room he would make sure to make the next bag he carried more small so it wouldn't get taken from him.
Though as they came aboard it seemed that Hunter needed the elves. "I'll show it to you later Shyrae." He told her as his hand pressed against the spyglass as it laid in his pocket, he was lucky to fit it in there. Though as the captain went on explaining what had happened to him Raynes couldn't help but let out a loose chuckle, he couldn’t believe that the man was shot in the a**, he must of insulted someone of high status for that...maybe he got it from the captain of that ship they came beside? He didn’t want to find out but still to Caden the story was amusing. "I can't believe he got shot in the a**..." Another light chuckle before shaking his head, that just made his day really.

"That sounds wonderful, Caden. I can't wait to see it." She blinked for a moment and shook her head. "Wait...you got shot...where?" Her mouth dropped open for a moment and she stared at his retreating back, then her gaze moved down to the area he needed her assistance for and she felt her cheeks heat and her mouth went dry. Suddenly, as though she'd been struck by a bolt of lightning, she jumped and followed after him. "Pistol shot?" Was that some kind of magic? She'd never heard of that precise spell but then she didn't know everything. "Yes, I'll need to see it." Then she could figure out the best method of treatment.
