Kulais smiled faintly as his eyes fluttered open. The scent of food jarred him from his state of semi-consciousness. He was now fully aware of his surroundings, and his stomach let out a loud growl. "Yes, please." He then began to climb off of Leon, trying to get to the next chair. "I'm ok." he assured, dragging the chair over. Once it was against Leon's, he pulled himself over, then smiled up at Leon. "I can't wait." He watched the people around them, anxious to devour some delicious, unknown food. It seemed his little nap did him a little good, he'd regained a little more color. Or perhaps it was just the excitement and anticipation of eating. Raina sat across from them, smiling as Kulais seemed a little better. "Glad you're feeling better."

There was countless different food scattered across the table, crackers, wine, water, cheese, sandwhiches, fish, yes alot of different kind of fish, salad, and most importantly shrimp. There were other types of food also, but there was enough for everyone to indulge themselves with. Azure sat at the end of the table, as she crossed her leg over the other, and prayed. She prayed constantly, it was a prayer to the guards, and the crew men did so also. She wished her respects, and thanked them for the food, and then she began to stuff her stomach. She was pleased the other four would enjoy themselves, one of the crew men had stationed a bowl of water, and similar food for Caden next to Leon's chair, and she knew he would enjoy it also. The ship rocked slightly, as it began to take sail. There were other men at the surface of the boat whom took charge in guiding the ship, and guarded it while they enjoyed their meal.

Leon smiled as as Kulais shifted around to sit on the chair. He laughed softly, even, when Kulais made sure his chair hit his own. "Let's see... what kinds of food do you want?" he asked Kulais. He reached for some fish and placed some on his own plate, then onto Kulais. "Let's just try these small pieces first, then get some more food, ok?" He cleared up with his new-found buddy. He looked down at Caden. Caden was happily eating the food laid down by him; his tail going crazy as he ate. He finished his food, took a long drink of his water than ran over to Azure and nudged her arm, whining softly for attention.

Kulais beamed at Leon and nodded. "Ok." He then took a piece of fish and stuffed it in his mouth. His eyes widened and his mouth stopped chewing. A look of awe struck him and tears welled up in his eyes. He finished chewing his food and swallowed, looking at Azure. "This fish is yummy!!"he cheered, eating another piece. He then spotted the salad and curiosity caught him. He reached over and grabbed the bowl. He pulled it towards him, carefully picking a leaf of lettuce up and placing it on his plate. He stared at it, poking it with his finger. Raina couldn't help but giggle. "It's lettuce. It's a vegetable. Go on and try it, it's crisp. You might like it. Many find it very bland on it's own, that's why people make salads." she encouraged, taking a bite of her own salad. Her plate was littered with all sorts of foods, some she'd never tried before; cheeses, different sandwiches, fish and most dominantly, shrimp. She filled her glass with wine, and took a small sip. She tried to pace herself and not just stuff her face. Kulais watched her eat her salad, then decided to try the lettuce. He made a face as he finally swallowed it. "Bleh." he said reaching for some water. "I didn't taste anything. I want to try shrimp. Where's the shrimp?"

Azure grazed her hand through Caden's fur as she ate her food. One bite after the other, however, the woman was deep in thought even her fingers in which she stroke Caden's fur weren't the same momentum. She moved it away as she stood. The woman looked at her plate, her stomach no longer craving the delight in which rested in front of her. She swallowed her final bite and stood, her face still carrying a smile. Her eyes looked at the three new members of the family, and she began to speak.
"...Enjoy, eat all you want..." She looked at Caden with a smile and fluffed out the fur of his face, messing it a little. She smiled as she walked away. The hard wood floor creaked as she walked out the exit, that lead to the deck. The other crew men snorted, others sighed as they mumbled to themselves, "She's at it again..." They made it sound as if she was about to commit a crime.

Caden whined as Azure left the dining room. he had just gotten comfortable on the ground as she was petting him. He jumped up and ran after her, following and stalking with her. Leon watched as Caden chased after her. He shook his head and reached for the shrimp. He placed a couple on Kulais' plate. "Lettuce is really just water, or so I've heard." He winked. "That," he points to the shrimp, "is shrimp. Enjoy it, kid." He winked and added a little salad onto his plate.
Caden caught up with Azure and nudged her hand. He barked playfully at her and ran around her. It was a miracle that just a little bit of food had given him so much energy. He barked at her once more playfully and trotted with her, lightly pressing against her side.

Raina glanced towards where the captain exited, suspicion rising within her. "She at what again, exactly?" Kulais devoured the shrimp, along with other foods, beaming as he did so. "This stuff is really yummy! I'm really glad we came here, Leon." He looked up, smiling at Leon, food hanging from the corner of his mouth. Raina looked to the other crewmen. "Are there things about our new Captain we three should know?" she demanded, gesturing between herself, Kulais and Leon.

"Much more" One of the crew member stated, "There are so many things that our beloved captain will keep in to herself, but we always find out" his friend answered with a risen finger, his smile had gold teeth. It sparkled under the light. "Our lovely captain is worth alot of money ye' see, alot of gold indeed" "She's Poseidon's daughter, indeed she is" The responded to each other as they snickered, their eyes turned to each other as they continued to speak. "Today was the day that her father had granted her the eyes of the sea, this feast isn't just given to us on a day to day basis, normally we feed ourselves on this here ship" The bald man had spoken as he leaned closer. "Daddy's girl isn't permitted to roam the lands...but war is coming up, the pirate treaty must be taken in affect, she is needed by many...Azure Queen of the 12 Seas, the 12 sea courts will be arranging a meeting soon...After the treaty is evidently needed she is able to roam the lands for a years time...until the war...which in this case it be n'ere" He leaned back, throwing his feet on the table.
"She is growing more aware, and seems more unsettled lately. Aye, our Queen is restless, and knows what she must do soon, the 12 courts be calling her in short time" ********************************* Azure felt the winds brush against her face as she looked at the clouds circle them, she opened her hand as writing was read within them. Her title, the Queen of the Oceans. She looked to the sky and revealed it in the air. "Father! The courts are summoning me soon.." she shouted, as she trembled. "They are in need of me, and I am scared...I love these seas, and I desire not to return to my brothers" She knew her words were left unnoticed for the time being. A gray rat with a pink nose, and black pearly eyes scurried his way between her legs and climbed on top of her shoulder. Accepting Azure's hand that stroked its head.
"Aye, Dean...What's me little babe been up too?" She giggled almost forgetting her mission. She turned to look at the dog and to her--what seemed to be pet rat. "me have a friend for ye' he's name is Caden" The rat leaped off her shoulder, landing in front of Caden, sniffing her nose.

Leon looked over Kulais as he ate, then let his eyes look over the crew. It was the first time he managed to look over the crew. His eyes narrowed at them; he didn't like how they smelled... In more than one way. He pulled Kulais close and whispered in his ear; thankful that he didn't have to whisper loud either, "I would keep your eyes wide open when around them, Kulais..." He whispered, then continued eating. He stayed quiet; something remained unsettling in his stomach.
Caden whined softly as she did her purpose; he tilted his head to the side just slightly in confusion, then jumped back when the rat jumped and landed in front of him. He leaned in slightly, sniffed his nose, then jumped back. He barked once at the rat and lowed himself, as though he were getting ready to attack... But his intentions were ruined when his tail wagged uncontrollably fast out of curiosity and happiness. He swatted his paw forward, next to Dean, then jumped back and barked playfully once more.

Dean only zoomed away hiding behind her leg pocking its small head from time to time, Caden had frightened him, but considering his size who could blame him. Azure giggled as she picked up the rodent and placed it upon her shoulder, now sitting across from Caden on the floor. She tapped in front of her, hinting the dog to come near. She would try her best to make these two friends, Dean had been lacking friends. Azure being his mother figure never really trusted anyone else. "Captain" A crewmen cried out capturing her attention, the rat hopped off her shoulder landing on Caden's shoulders. "Your mother is on board" Azure pushed herself up as she shook her head. The seas have finally made time to call out to her...her mother being the messenger. It was a pity at times she couldn't shoot her. The ocean was her love, and like her mother's and sisters once before whom ruled it, it was her turn, and she knew she would need to sacrifice it. She stood tall, as she neared a cloaked figure at the edge of the boat, below her feet was a pool of water. The woman came from the seas, and that was her home...her prison. Her diluted pale grey eyes, watched her as she neared her creating a trail of water.
"Daughter" "Mother" Her voice sounded more annoyed, than that of her mothers. "The seas have sent me to bring you a message, the court is in need of you, it is your time now my daughter"

A rather unsettling feeling buried itself deeper into Raina's gut, and her eyes fluttered to Leon and Kulais. "So it's a war she wanted them for?"she asked, "She went to a slave market to buy two young, weak boys in hopes to make them fight a war?" Her voice wasn't angry, it was flat. "Well, I'm glad I came along then." She shoved her plate away from her and stood. She smiled at Kulais as he glanced up at her, then turned and headed off in the direction that Azure had gone. Something wasn't right, and Raina didn't like it. She wanted to get those boys off of this ship. For this woman to make empty promises to them just to get them on her ship to fight her war, it was cowardly. Spotting Azure, she quickened her pace, not even noticing the cloaked figure with her.
Kulais froze as he was about to stuff another shrimp in his mouth. He suddenly looked sick. Dropping the shrimp, both hands flew to his mouth. He looked around, and without warning, belched loudly. His faced reddened slightly and he grinned. "Oops, sorry. This food is just so good." He reached for more food and devoured it. Once he'd had his fill, he pushed his plate away and leaned back in the chair, a smile stretching from ear to ear. He lazily rolled his head to the side and looked at Leon. "I think I'm about ready for a nap."he yawned, his eyes closing slowly, his smile now just a goofy grin.

Leon had ignored everything going on. Why did everyone think they were both so weak? He survive this long, hadn't he? But everyone was a curious character upon the ship... Why had Azure bought them, and why did the woman, Raina, come along as well? She seemed more as a 'peace' person, rather than a pirate... Kulias' belch snapped Leon out of his thoughts as he laughed and ruffled his hair. "That was pretty good, kid." He stated with an approving nod. It was now that Leon noticed all he was doing was pushing around food on the plate. He gently pushed it back and looked down at Kulias' expression. "Then perhaps we should find you where your bed is." He stated and slowly stood up. He held his hand out to Kulais.
Caden turned his head as best as he could to look at Dean. He whined softly, but panted in happiness and began to walk around the room with him. Caden laid down after walking around for a few minutes and let his head rest comfortably on the floor. He heaved out a heavy sigh and gave up trying to look at the rat upon his shoulder.

The woman nudged her head, signaling that she had a second pair of eyes watching from a far. Azure shifted her head to look over her soft shoulders, and like her mother had stated, She did, and the woman was no other than that elf girl Raina, she had sensed it, and even now she felt that the woman didn't trust her. She had little to no other reason to believe it was the crew that had shifted her thoughts more, but she wouldn't argue. Azure turned her head to look at the woman whom had stood in a pool of water before her, only to have discovered she was no longer there. She had returned to the sea, and Azure knew it was time for her knew sea folk to make haste to bed. Azriel was indeed a far place to travel, and nightfall was nigh.
"Raina..." Azure broke through what seemed to have been deep thoughts from the elfish woman, and she spoke, her eyes like sapphire rocks, peered on her and attempted to read what she felt. She had many reasons to love her, or hate her. After all her name and face was famous for numerous reasons across the 12 seas. Many in which, made her out to be a monster, in which she wasn't. She was by far nothing remotely close to being a savage beast. She resumed what she was to say. "I am aware of how ye' sense of me, and the masters rooms consist of 4 beds, ye' and the others may make rest there" Without even awaiting to hear what Raina had to say the woman had continued to make her place to the dining hall, only to have captured Leon's words, and she smiled. "Well...ye' have a place in me rooms, I has plenty of beds to go around, with no one whose claimed it...feel free to bring the poor lad there"

Kulais, by now, was fully asleep and snoring lightly.
Raina followed Azure as she passed by her. "Look, Captain, I don't mean any disrespect, but I want to know exactly what's going on. I've heard mention of a war. Now, having volunteered myself onto this ship, I am fully prepared, and willing to help with this war. But I don't think Leon and Kulais could handle it. I admit that I may not know what they are capable of, but it seems that the war is too soon for either of them to recover completely. The high tension on this boat tells me that. As a new crew member, I ask that you please not leave me in the dark. In order to help you to the best of my abilities, I need to know what is required of me. You can tell me to clean the deck, and lower the sails. But that's not what I mean, and you know it." Raina's gaze was hard, and serious. "Did you go through a slave market to try and find soldiers? Young minds you could mold into fighters to help you with this war?" Raina had never really payed any attention to things like rulers of the sea, and pirate codes. She stuck to land, and therefore felt she had no need to know about the seas. But right now, she was starting to regret not at least listening to some stories.

Leon looked at the Captain and smiled softly to her. Gently, he shifted Kulais on his shoulder and continued to walk, then he paused, "Captain... where exactly are the rooms?" He asked as he suddenly realized he had no idea where to go. He turned around and looked at her, "Just point me in the right direction." He requested, then stepped closer, "And just for future reference... I generally have excellent hearing." He began and looked at Raina, "I'd rather be a soldier, if that's what it will come down to... than to be in that cage in the market. Like many say, I have close to 9 lives... I have high luck... if I didn't, I would've been dead long ago." He stepped closer still, staying quiet so he wouldn't wake Kulais, "If it's a war she has me for, then that's fine... I may not be a good at fighting, but I can be a hell of a fighter... not to mention my little specialty if you haven't noticed what it is... that has gotten me far. i won't say much more, but I don't doubt the captain's judgment... it's the crews." He bluntly told Raina and Azure. "Now, the rooms?" He requested with a soft smile once more.
