Lotsa Parties ( Current location: Termina field) Thread 5

Reina drew her knife. "You can't do that!" She yelled.

Zoliel was prepared to walk up to the boat, after all, she seemed invited. She didn't feel the need to interfere with something she didn't understand, but she waited when the group was told to wait.

Quint was running late after gathering some last minute supplies while Trace arrived with Chaos and the others. "Why are you guys handcuffing her? She hasn't done anything wrong,' Trace asked the captain.

"H-hey guys, calm down." Jillian tried to sound reassuring. It was hard to do while cuffed, she probably should've told them, looking at their reactions now she almost felt like she'd betrayed them somehow.

"Oh so you didn't tell them?" He seemed quietly amused.

"You've had your fun at me." She muttered to the captain. "But you treat them right, they haven't done a thing to you."

Chaos put down Reina's knife with his hand. Given Jillian wasn't struggling, he didn't think this was a trap or there would probably be more men arming themselves. Still, he kept his hand close to his gun of course. "What's the reason for this, Captain?"

Jaruzak expected such a thing to happen, after all most races hated another for one reason or another, and a fair share had hated him for no reason. Although he hated racism in all forms, he understood he couldnt do anything about it. So when the gang plank was crowded he jumped up and flew over onto the ship casually while resting his sword on his shoulder.

Zoliel nodded, she felt better after somebody agreed with her and made her way onto the ship, slowing down just slightly on the dock to make sure she was aligned with the people on it properly, so as not to fall off, before she got on board.

"This may take awhile" he quietly whispered to Zoliel, "They can get emotional."

Ruul wanted to volunteer to take her place, knowing how she loved the sea, but also knew they wouldn't agree to any other terms. "Well, this is it then. Just one more thing before we go," he faced the Zora captain, "I am the group's leader in non-combat or naval affairs. Would it be possible to make a stop on Tokay Island along the way? We have an important errand to run there." Although he asked casually, his face conveyed how important the matter was.

"You're paying, we can stop where you need." The Captain nodded. He handed Jillian off to a crew member.

"Hey guys, seeya at the end of the trip." Jillian nodded and was escorted down below. She felt bad now for her decision not to tell everyone but it was what it was. It was dark down below and the air was musty, Jillian could hear the ship creaking with every slight movement. Her weapons were confiscated and she stepped into her cell and sat down on the cot. It was gonna be a long trip. After the crewman left she scratched a tally-mark into the wall. "Day one." she told herself.

Ruul collected the fare from the rest of the party as evenly as possible (although he couldn't help but put a little extra from himself) and paid the captain. As he did so, he told the others, "We'll go visit her every day. She deserves that much."

Calcifer nodded.
"Of course!" Aero exclaimed. "I wouldn't deem myself worthy of sailing with her if I didn't have the decency to do that! I'll make her great food, too!"

Reina nodded, "We are getting where we need thanks to what she's doing right now, it would be cruel to not keep her company."

Zoliel shrugged, "I'd probably be safer staying in the middle of the ship for the trip anyway." She handed the 'non-combat' leader her 10 rupees from the day before. On one hand, while she didn't really know how much she really owed for the trip, she figured it was likely more than a seventh of her old ring. On the other hand, 10 rupees sounded significantly better than 0 rupees.
She preferred her second thought over the first.

Ruul let Zoliel keep her Rupees, though. He swapped out one of the blue rupees with one of his reds as he handed it back, knowing she wouldn't tell the difference. "Save it and spend it on something you need. Best to be prepared."

Zoliel nodded, somewhat reluctant. She didn't usually like feeling pitied, though she would accept regardless. She didn't usually like holding money either, the colours to values weren't something she could keep up with, though as long as she was holding just the two blue rupees she thought she should be okay.

Kairo turned to the captain. "She'd better be ok at the end of this," he snarled.

Kowen didn't see what the fuss was about, a pirate being held prisoner on a ship seemed logical, to her at least.

Ruul sidled up to Kairo and whispered, "Don't let anyone trick the girl out of her money."

Kairo nodded and glanced around looking for Zoliel. With one last glance at the captain, he made his onto the boat.

"Hey kid," he said in greeting to Zoliel.

Zoliel waved back, she remembered the voice, "... What was your name again?"

"Oh right," Kairo said, remembering he hadn't yet properly introduced himself to Zoliel. "I'm Kairo."

Zoliel nodded, "Kairo..." she paused for a moment, "... Can I ask for a favour?"

"Uh... Sure... I guess," Kairo replied.

Zoliel looked around for a moment, "Do you know where that fortune teller girl is?"

Kairo looked around. He saw Kowen not to far away leaning against the side of the shp.

"She's over there, you want me to take you over there?" he asked.
