Azure was caught off guard, certainly she wasn't expecting this woman's gesture, especially from a stranger at that. She took a couple of steps back as she looked at Raina with a small smile, her hand on a pouch as she looked at the group she had just formed. Leon was going to be a small trouble on her ship, but she knew he would be easily controlled especially due to her promise. There was much to Azure then met the eye, she needed this crew, though unexperienced she knew she could train them quite easily. She walked towards Raina circling her, and Kulais, examining the two frames. She swallowed as she clicked her tongue and smiled.
"This won't do, how can I possibly agree to this offer when I don't even know ye name darling ye' talking to the queen of the 12 seas, Azure Lupis Lavonn the third" The state of her name, made many gasp in surprise. As though her name was God on earth, perhaps it was, she was afterall the daughter of Poseidon, it was practically a miracle as to why she had decided to roam these lands, in search of crew to travel with her. The woman's eyes dug deeply into Raina's eyes as if searching for the secrets she was hiding. She probably wasn't hiding anything from her, but to Azure she knew much people bore many. Azure was the decoder of secrets, her specialty...along with many other things.
"Give me a name and ye' desire to travel with us will not be a problem"

"Raina." she said simply. "My name is Raina." Her voice remained flat, her face expressionless. Kulais looked up at the two women, smiling. "I'm Kulais!" he said cheerfully. The excitement filled his eyes as he glanced around, but his tiny frame could no longer support itself. Feeling the tiny frame about to collapse, Raina instinctively swept him up into her arms. "I don't know about you, but I think we should feed these three before going anywhere, Captain." Raina didn't really know this place, so she hoped Azure did.

Leon finished off his cigarette then went back into his cage. "I guess I should give everything back then..." He stated and looked at the boxes upon boxes of things he had stolen. He looked back at the guards, then smiled. "Nah, I'll keep them all safe... maybe." He winked and started to fold the boxes close. Caden came up next to Leon and set a half chewed bone down next to him. Leon looked at it, chuckled softly and put it in one of the boxes. "Alright, so what am I suppose to call you? Your highness, majesty, master, Queen Azure...?" Leon asked as he leaned against the frame to his cage. On the outside, it looked like he was relaxing against the cage, but in reality he had to use it as a support. The events with the guards had drained him mentally, but most of all, physically.

"Captain is fine" Azure smiled as she looked at the the three, her crew was forming quickly. She looked at Leon and began to walk towards them, she whistled and from the crowd emerged three men, obviously crew men. They came and raised the boxes. It was Azure who had assumed these boxes belonged to him. Azure walked towards Leon and wrapped her arm around his back and under his arms, she was supporting him to his feet. The woman looked at Raina and smirked as she began to speak.
"Me sheep isn't far from here, less than a 20 minute walk, if we can hold on for just that long I'm certain me men, whipped up a delightful dinner"
She stated as she began to walk, the other big, bulky men followed from behind. She looked at Raina and shook her head to the side as she called out to her, "We have to get moving, their tummies won't feed themselves"

Raina glanced at Caden, "You good, or shall I carry you too?" she asked sarcastically. She hoisted Kulais up on to her back and started after Azure and the men. Kulais whimpered and tensed, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Mommy." he whimpered, wrapping his arms tightly around Raina's neck. "Ssshh. It's alright, little one." she assured, now walking beside Azure. "I hope your ship is as close as you say it is, because I don't think this one can hold on." She pulled the canteen from her side, opened it and gave it to Kulais. "Drink, kid. It's not food, but it'll help keep dehydration away." Kulais managed to take a few small sips, then returned his head to her shoulder. She lifted the canteen over his head and spilled a bit of water on him. He never complained.

Leon put his arm around Azure and chuckled softly, "You know, captain, it's usually the other way around... I should be the one helping you, not you helping me." He told her as they walked. "I do apologize... I don't know how long it'll be before I can actually do anything around your ship, and the same goes for Kulais. I do think, however, I'll be able to do more than what I'm thinking because I'm stubborn." He further explained. he looked down at the ground and spotted Caden walking next to him. He smiled and Caden began to sway his tail in happiness. "Hey Kulais, Buddy... you ready to try some shrimp?" He asked softly and turned his head enough to look back at them.

Azure laughed at Leon's statement, she had more than enough men to tend to their duties, by releasing Leon it was more of an act of kindness, she didn't need a new crew. She only wanted to get him out of this cage. She shook her head, and cleared her throat. "Don't worry about it, I can tend to your services, don't worry about the ship, the ship is my mens' responsibility" She smiled as she held on slightly tighter in order to keep a better grip on the boy. Her feet connected the ground and her eyes met the two. Kulais was weak, and she had to hurry. Caden walked along side of her as his tail wagged from one end to another.

Too groggy to speak, Kulais nodded slightly. "Come on, kid. Stay awake now. We're almost there." Worry began to consume Raina. This child was weakening with every minute. "How can people be so cruel and not feed a child. It's disgusting to see the way humans treat other living creatures."she angrily thought out loud. She gently swung Kulais so that he was now on her torso. She pulled his head back and gave him a bit more water to drink.

"You would think they'd wanna keep the kids, and young adults, at least well fed and energetic so they would be sold... But it's also a matter of whether or not we can eat the food. After having the same disgusting stench in your nose day in and day out... it gets sickening to the point where if you eat, you just puke it back up. that's why I stopped eating, and soon.. starvation sets in and then... we know what happens next." Leon explained. Gently, he took his arm off of Azure's shoulders and stood up as best as he could on his own. He nodded to confirm he would be ok, then stopped to wait for Raina. "I don't believe I know your name, miss." He pointed out with a small smile. "I'm Leon, and that's Caden... and would you mind if I took him?" He asked and nodded to Kulais.

Raina looked at Leon for a moment. "Name's Raina. Are you sure you can carry him? You seem to have trouble carrying yourself." She scrutinized him a little longer than eventually placed the child gently in his arms. She kept a watchful on Leon, in case his weakness returned, and was ready to catch him and Kulais. Pretty stubborn kid. she thought, a small smile forming on her lips.

They had arrived, the ship was larger than the average pirate controlled ship, with a large blade that hung at the front. Azure stood proudly, and with a loud shout of joy she turned to face the other. "Behold me ship, ain't it a beauty?" She asked as she watched her Crew enter, and turned to the new recruits with a smirk, her hand now clasp on her hip, and head hung to the side. She smiled and began to speak, "Well what ye' think? Her name is the Dutchmen, most would call her the flying dutchmen, however, he be me bestfriend, care to look inside food should be ready by now" She suggested as she made her way the light oak, lightly varnished ship and headed inside.

Leon carefully shifted Kulais on his hip as he held the boy. He smiled and slowly walked up with Azure. "Now... maybe you can try that shrimp, Kulais." He whispered in his ear; just loud enough for the kitten to hear. Caden ran ahead and went up to Azure. He was barking happily and licking her hand; his form of thanking her. He kept bouncing around her, but fell quiet as to not cause a headache with his barking. "Caden. Leave her alone, buddy." Leon chided softly. Caden whined softly. "He was thanking you, but I don't think you'd want that, in being the captain of this gorgeous ship."

Azure was about to grant Caden a head rub before Leon had caught her off from her action, she rubbed his face anyways, and responded to Leon as she continued to pet the dog. "Its fine, this dog his soooo adorable, he's going to love it on here, will you boy? Yes you will? Will you? Oh yes you will" She ruffled his fur a little bit more, as she smiled at the dog once more before nudging her head to the others to hurry, as she jogged her way into her ship. The ship seemed old, but not old enough to sink at any time, the crew was doing their duties as for Azure whom went to the dining end of the ship and called out to the crew "Its time t' eat, now hurry yer arse up already"

Raina raised an eyebrow at Azure and Caden, then shook her head slightly. As she climbed on to the ship, she looked around. It was huge and she had to admit, it was by far the greatest pirate ship she'd seen. She followed Azure, still absent-mindedly watching over Leon and Kulais. It wasn't until the aroma of food caught her nose, that she realized she had not eaten yet. And she'd grown quite curious to this 'shrimp' everyone kept mentioning. Raina had never really tried foreign foods. She kept to familiar foods, like breads, certain meats and fish. With the occasional vegetables. "So, what exactly do crewmen do on a ship?" she asked Azure, now walking beside her and matching her pace.

Caden's tail only went faster as she gave him more attention. Leon simply shook his head as he chuckled softly and continued to follow after the women and his dog. Once in the dining area, he walked to a chair, pulled it out and sat down. He kept Kulais on his lap as he carefully set him to sit up against him. "Ready for some good food, buddy?" He asked him softly, and purred softly, trying to encourage him. "How about some water first, yes? And.. we'll start out with the lighter stuff and work our way up to the shrimp?" He smiled.
