"Hm, even though they don't say it, that's what keeps up humans on the bottom now isn't it? Everyone besides the animals that we eat, out live us. It's right depressing...if you don't have any rum that it. Lucky me." Thusly taking another drink and tucking the bottle into the crook of his arm in drink holder like fashion. "I suppose there is reason to fear it...but at the same time, it's proveribial. The Locker...think of it. It's no Heaven, no Hell...just a Purgatory of sorts you could say...it's probably dark, locker's are often not made for lights."
Raising one booted foot to rest on his knee then. "Like I said, you're the worst kind of selfish on the sandseas. You're just going to keep running and leave everyone else to rot. Not too admirable there, Captain. And you waste this life with your running, pity you won't stop and take a glance at the finer things being offered in it."

A slight smirk.
"I don't leave everyone to rot. and I don't have to stop for the finer things most times. I pick them up when I pass them. and the locker can be purgatory..but think. purgatory means your stuck there. no ships to sail, no sandseas to travel, no water to travel, an d probably no company either. if nothing else, what's left of you is going to go mad from the isolation."
sliding his hand a little further up and inside her raised leg.
"If I left everyone to rot, I wouldn't have brought you into this little endeavor, now would I. nor would I have left those pests with you to give you th earea I was heading to."
one of those slightly snotty looks like you get when you know you got someone on something.
"And I wouldn't have asked you to see the elf healer wether she was under my command or not."

"Or perhaps in that isolation, you would find a peace that in no other way could be granted to you. Do you ever think in positive ways, Hunt?" Turning a look over her shoulder at him then with a slender raised eyebrow at asked of him questions to what he either did or spoke. "Aw, are you saying you're showing that you care about me? That perhaps...you somehow need my help. Or...are you implying that you just don't want to be lonely in your own little eternity seeking and think perhaps I'm one to be roped in with such thoughts and fancies?"

"I know better than to try and rope you with that kind of idea...at least until I have said thing in hand already. you're not exactly one for chasing stories. as for the others.."
A slight grin.
"Why don't I let you try and figure that one out."
sliding his hand a bit more up her thigh, with a little bit of a caress. hey, if she was using him as a drink holder and chair, least he could get away with in return was getting a feel.

She wasn't protesting now was she? After all, she could do what the hell she wanted and didn't care whom called her actions. She usually had something witty to say back anyway or something that just confused the bloody hell out of someone. Both worked. Gem however did give a chuckle that indeed spoke of her own amusement and perhaps enjoyment in the moment as she grasped the bottle she had tucked away earlier, and took another drink from it. "Stories are for children after all and last time I checked, I was a woman and not a little girl. Though I'm sure you already knew that much about me." Setting the bottle aside once more and reaching a hand back to tap him between the eyes with a finger. "Aw you are entrapted by me. I think that does my ego well." Her ego could certinally match his.

"Now who said that?"
A slight grin.
"Though...if you'd like to indulge in some amusement to help boost that ego..that can be arranged."
Malik leaned against the wall and smirked lightly at his daughter.
"You are a chip off the old block aren't you."
The dragoness was still sitting there, waiting for the damned star eyed woman to talk to her or do something that would be a bit more interesting than starring at eachother. and she still didn't get what she was going to do to get them both out of here.
"Are you through trailing around in your own thoughts yet?"

Eilynne had indeed gone quiet long ago though she wasn't staring at the dragoness, more of staring through her. She was quiet for another long while after the dragonness spoke, taking her own time to do what she needed to do. When she finally spoke it was wiht purpose. "I was not trailing in my own thougts but that is neither here nor there." In reality she'd been in communication with Rahsaveer, telling him what she'd learned and requesting he do a few things for her. Until she had her answers, she was not going to do anything. She folded her hands in her lap carefully and then gave a nod to the dragonness. "I need to decide whether or not you should be helped. You willingly gave two of your scales away to a man that is neither trustworthy or pure of heart. Why should I reward such foolishness?"
Shyrae had left Malik and Savryn to their father daughter time and merely wandered the ship. It was times like these when she missed her own father, not that she regretted her decision at all. She'd needed to get away, just to see something new and keep her mother off her back for a while. She'd gotten so protective, it was ridiculous. She'd explored all the cargo bays, sifting through some of the treasure Hunter had stored down there to find some things she liked and finally made her way back up to the upper deck. Spotting the dragons and the human guard she gave them a nod. "Hunter is less than pleased isn't he? I still get the feeling that something is very wrong about whatever happened back there though. I don't like feelings like that very much."

"Me." Shaking her head lightly and letting him continue on for a moment before she turned a rather wicked look to him. "You see, there's a problem though. When you're pissy, you make a rather rough lover. Much as I can appreciate that...I can't do rough right now, now wish to be the vent of your anger taken out between the sheets...as enjoyable as it may be. I doubt you have the capacity to make a gentle lover when called for. You never really have been." A least not with her. Taking up the bottle again and taking another drink from it. "You also make a violent drunk from time to time, did you know that?"
"I don't know daddy, are you a block?" Raising an eyebrow at his general direction with a smirk as well. Seemingly going about walking the space some more, fingertips touching to places and sometimes doing it twice or so. Apparently checking to see if things were as she left them or trying to remark things in her mind, having being tossed around and what not so much having messed up her mental map. Hardest part about being blind sometimes, or so in her opinion.
Bell turned her attention from trying to reassure Kaz, he would be how he would be for however long. Sometimes you couldn't fight it. Shyrae was where her amber eyes settled and she gave a shake of her head before stretching her arms abover her head and then crossed her arms, resting them on her horns. "No, he isn't...no one seems to be pleased. Like someone came along and sucked the positive out of the ship."

A slight smirk.
"I imagine I might be. but I can be gentle when called upon. just normally the request isn't given. women take what they get from me with great enjoyment."
a slight shrug, and giving her a gentle, despite his burning in his veins though not showing in his countenance anger, kiss.
"See?"
The dragoness snorted and turned her back on the little girl.
"What do you know about it. When was the last time you were in love, and with someone that gave you everything you wanted. the Hunter you know and the Hunter I knew were not the same man. I knew Hunter Deacon. You know Captain 'Hawk' Hunter."
she just stared at the wall.
"I remember when he taught me to sail, showing me how to navigate without maps and charts in front of me. I remember seeing him smile, and remember feeling his lips on mine. he didn't shy away from me, he wasn't intimidated by claws or horns or wings. I wasn't a dragon-kin to him. I was a woman. I was just Desdemona."
Her voice was softer when she spoke, and wiped her face lightly.
"But I doubt you high and mighty don't care about anything but 'patterns' and 'influence' on a cosmic scale being know what that's like."

Eilynne chuckled, low and deep, a sound rarely heard from her. "You know so little yet you preach so much. I know every Hunter or Hawk there ever was, just as I know all of you. I know your hopes, your dreams, and the aniticipation that is rolling off of you in waves. You know I can help you and you want me too. You're ashamed of what you believe could have been prevented and you know exactly who did it to you and why." Eilynne shook her head. "You want revenge, little dragon. And I'm going to give it to you." Just then there was a massive shaking in the caverns and the outer wall began to crumble. Eilynne had transformed into a panther in those brief moments, and easily severed the chain from where it sat with a swipe of her claws, shortening the chain still attached to Desdemona and she beckoned to the new entrance made in the rear of the cavern. "Go mighty dragon. Take what you want, leave what you don't."
Shyrae giggled at that. "A massive positive-sucking monster. He probably eats compliments for snacks." Another giggle and she shook her head. "Oh Bell, you do brighten my day more than once. Which is strange because I never really liked the light." She giggled again then shook her head. "I didn't hurt you when I hopped down off you so fast, did I? I remembered after I moved that the membranes on your wings is delicate. We have draithix that have the same sort and I've patched a few of them up in my time. Mind if I take a look?"

She snickered as if she wasn't convinced with his own boasting. "Women take what you give because you don't ask them beforehand, you assume. And well, usually when one pays for such activities...there is no requesting by the one whom is paid." One of his bad habits, not that she cared much. Long as he didn't pay her or simply get his own jollies and leave her still waiting because she was not his personal whore.
Watching him though as then he tried to prove that she was wrong with a kiss, though she was no stranger to him. "You don't fool me...your anger doesn't burn off as easily as you think you can fool me into thinking, Hunter. Passion and lust do funny things to people...like makes what is inside, come out. Emotions and mental states included." However turning to him again and pressing her own kiss to his lips in some sort of gesture to him. "You think you are so big and bad, it's almost fetching but still borders on nauseating." Hunter and Gem, always passing insults yet in complimentary ways.
She blinked then gave a smile and a shrug. At least someone was enjoying her normally positive attitude. "Oh dear the women will wilt without thier compliments." Shaking her head lightly as she poked fun at herself and all the other women who would happen to be around. "It only hurt a bit and I flew back just fine, but if you want to have a look you can do so. Who knows, I may be hurt and don't even know it...what with falling down all the time, knocking my wings on things, getting my horns and tail stuk in other things...wow, I'm hopeless." Giving a sigh that was either playful or personally disappointed.

Desdemona saw the opening...and got herself up...carefully stepping beyond it. no, it wasn't some trick. being careful to walk toward the tunnel enterance, and see the Chimera..and another ship. who's ship was that?
But there was an angered look. yes, she was free now, and Hunter wasn't her jailor anymore. her wings spread and she tok a few steps before into the air she went, making a beeline for the Chimera.
"Hey, I don't pay for all of them you know."
though that kiss did get a slight grin. was that in invite from the woman who was just complaining about him getting rough with her? hmm..sounds like a challenge there doesn't it.

Rahsaveer moved in beside her and glanced around at the damage he'd caused. Catching sight of Eilynne, he walked over to her and waved his staff. "Are you sure this is wise, Lynne?"
Eilynne watched the dragon go then transformed back into her original shape. Standing, she reached out and squeezed Rahsaveer's hand. "Trust me, my friend. There is much to be gained from what has previously been lost. Betrayal has a way of choosing not to stay buried and in this case, it has just become one of our greatest allies." She glanced at him and nodded then the two Laerethe disappeared.
Shyrae shook her head. "No, but you are a very silly dragon." She waited for Jae to settle herself and then carefully began to go over every inch of her wings. "You know when I was little I almost died more times than I could count. I was constantly going out of the house and crawling up into trees, into water. I wanted to play with every living thing that moved. One time my dad found me attempting to give a jerheg a cookie." She shook her head and prodded one spot where the membrane was slightly damaged. "I didn't even realize that I myself was the cookie the jerheg wanted." Calling up her runic energies, she gently mended the membrane on the wing. "We all have our weaknesses and quirks. I like dangerous things that will hurt me. You fall over things. It makes you endearing. That's what my daddy told me...before he locked me in my room."

Leaning close to his ear, she nipped at him while loweing her voice to a whisper. "You still pay. Your mother would have a fit you for it too." Tracing his jaw with her fingertips in no particular affectionate manner to the touch, more of just to entice. Was she playing with him just to do so or was she actually planning on making use of her rum and the cabin's private ways? She was tease, that was for sure and she enjoyed that. Made her giggle evilly. "Come now, what's got you all flustered?" Still in his ear, a bottle of rum braced between their bodies.
"I've been told that a few times." Having turned her back and spread her wings for Shyrae to look over, one wing retracting involuntarily somewhat at the poke to the sensitive area that was there. A blink though at her story, even if she could comprehend a jerheg was apparently some big meat eating thing, the imagery was still lost on her since it wasn't familiar. Another blink at the tingly feelings she then got in that same spot that then started to feel better actually. "Endearing hm? That's one way to put it. But I also get stuck in things, can't forget that. I've never had a father to lock me in my room for such things, I think that in itself is endearing." Turning her head though at the sound of wingbeats and the sight of another being in thier midst. "Oh no...not again..."

She landed heavy on the deck, and at a quick glance, looked like a bronze version of Bell. save much longer red hair and a temper at the moment to match it.
"Hunter Deacon! get your human a** out here! you and I have some unfinished buisness you jackal!"
Mister Richards didn't do anything...at the moment he was in a bit of shock. where's she come from, and how did she know the captain? though most fo the rest of the crew was armed and ready to use thier arms, Mister Richards gave them a 'hold off' signal.
Hunter knew that voice. knew it very, very well. though he did push Gem away from him a bit it wasn't in a forceful manner. and his eyes narrowed at the door. she couldn't have gotten out on her own. especially after that cave in. those thrice damned little fluffy eared pains in his a**.
"remind me to figure out how to kill one of those little star eyed devils as soon as this god forsaken quest is done, would you Gem?"
before stepping out from his cabin, nevermind if anyone saw Gem in it or not, and leaned on the railing by the helm.
They both stared at each other...you could feel the tension so thick in the air it was nearly edible. before she folded her wings down a bit.
"Where are my scales, Hunter. I want them back. The man I used to love is dead and gone and those scales I gave to him I want back."
Hunter's voice was a mix of anger...and something not quite identifiable.
"I'm hardly dead, Des. And why should I give you back anything after what you did? After you betrayed me? You should be grateful that I didn't outright kill you along with the rest of the original crew of the Chimera!"
"I never betrayed you! I didn't sleep around, I didn't fool around, and I certainly had no intention of stealing the Chimera from you! I wouldn't go near the Burning Prince even if it meant dying in the belly of a sandworm!"
Her eye's glared daggers at him. her hand curled up in a tight fist.
the crew started murmuring among themselves, and even mister Richard's gave a look between the two. well this was something no one knew about the Captain. Hunter looked around and took off the compass around his neck.
"Then why did I find this laying among the men's clothes! I gave this to you. a symbol of my heart, So that no matter where we were or how far apart you'd always find me. and you cast it aside!"
He stomped down the stairs, and shoved it in her face.
"How do you explain that?! hmm?! you've never been able to explain it in ten years! Why should I think any different now than I did then!"
And she hauled off and decked him, and sent him down on the deck and sliding back a bit at that.
"Yes, and for ten years you've kept me locked up in that gilded prison. for ten years I've had to rely on you to remember to bring me food. to want you to share my bed because I was so lonely I would go mad!"
she stomped over and put her foot down heavily on his chest.
"You have made me into some kind of twisted harem girl these past ten years. and I'm supposed to think it was mercy!? that you are still the man I met that loved me and wanted to be with me on the sandseas until the end of the world?! You're not Hunter Deacon anymore. You're Captain 'Hawk' Deacon. Now where are the scales I gave Hunter. I want them back."
