Welcome to Gaia! ::

Down within the ship you can find "The hold", also known as the storage. Just like you would think, it's a damp dark place, full of dust and perhaps the occasional rat or spider. There's a few run down shelves, and some barrels of what may be water or rum. Perhaps even nothing. It's generally just a square room, with a small place that may look as if it was once used as a prison, just add a cage door in front of it and it would be one. Despite not being made from stone and cement, it still has that creepy old look of one.

Aqua stepped down the stairs shaking her head, she had just taken Quinee to her room and decided to avoid Jack in case she said something else to make him leave. Headquarters would not be pleased if she drove off another crew member with her haughty demeanor.

Aqua rustle through their food stocks hunting for some sort of first aid kit. She was certain they'd have stocked the ship with medical equipment. She paused at what she thought was a voice...

Aqua sensed the movement of feet on the floor of the hold but assumed it to be warf rats, god she hated those thing. She have to come down here and kill them before Quinee found out and tried to save them. "Ah ha!" She lifted a small dusty box and opened it to find gauze and medicine. Turning slowly Aqua reached over to grab an apple before leaving.

The captain jumped back trying hard to stifle her startle. Almost as a second nature, Aqua swiftly drew her weapon and held it dangerously close to Hawk's exposed throat. "State your business." Anyone who knew Aqua, also knew that she didn't joke and took any threat very serious.

Aqua snorted, "I can see that for myself thank you." She inched forward, still very untrusting. "But you still failed to answer my question." She was always nervous around anyone knew, she was never sure of intentions for good or harm, and it seemed Aqua attracted the harmful ones the most.

"Whatever it is you want, you won't find it here young lady. How old are you?" She smirked advancing foreword even more, her knife hand steady as a rock. "I'm surprised their sending out such young, untrained blood these days. Must be getting cheap." It seemed obvious Aqua had assumed Hawk was someone she was not.

The Captain jumped back barely able to get out of her foot's path. "It seemed I have underestimated, maybe they aren't getting cheap..." At this Aqua grinned, it had been a long time since she'd had a decent fight.

Aqua spun her knife and then grasp it firmly, a little showing off was half the fun. "I don't like liars." She took a lunge past the girl's side with an attempted swipe to her shoulder and hopefully ending up behind her before she realized.

It took a moment of realization, but Aqua realized Jack was right, he was telling the truth about a girl in the hold. She'd have to find a way to apologize to him later.

"Guest? Guests are invited." Aqua noticed her back up and did nothing, curious as to what the girl was planning. Almost in a 'take your best shot' manner. Aqua didn't usually get cocky, but she loved to intimidate anyone she thought weaker.


(( xD be offense! do more than back up, attack me! though I like 'astounded' part xD very Hawk ))

(( xD yes you do! ))

"Why would I show you hospitality when you stowed away on my ship?" Aqua chuckled to herself, she's gone soft. A few years ago, this girl would've been incapacitated by now for stowing away on her ship. The Captain was about to take another swing when she stopped dead at Hawk's sentence 'on earth you seemed a lot nicer', had this girl been following her for long? What had she seen?

Next thing Aqua knew she had been swept completely on the ground and silently cursed herself for losing her focus and allowing this stowaway twit to get the upper-hand. She didn't get up however, instead slashed her knife at the girl's ankles before rolling to the side.
