Raina's features softened. The boy had the heart of a warrior. Maybe she was wrong about him, maybe he would be an asset to any war. She stared at him for a long moment, then smiled softly. "My apologies for doubting you, Leon. I meant no insult. You are young, and you've had a hard life. It just doesn't seem fair that you should be freed only to fight in a war where you may possibly die. Just don't rely on your sticky fingers, because that won't get you very far in a war." She nodded curtly as if to excuse herself, then turned and walked off. Raina was just a child when she was forced into fighting. All she could remember was being yelled at to fight harder, to be stronger. She understood the true meaning of war. Most thought it to be glorious, almost a joke even. But Raina's life consisted of fighting, and even the most skilled fighters could make fatal mistakes. She sighed as she leaned over the side of the boat. She wasn't all too concerned about Leon, foolish as he seemed, she could tell he was smart enough to quickly adapt to any situation. He has a strong heart, and courage. He would make a fair fighter. She was, however, worried about the child, Kulais. For someone so young, so innocent... For him to be caught in a war. It would change him. He'd lose his innocence. He would also get in the way. There was never a place for a child in a war. They always became a nuisance; running around, scared and screaming. Distracting everyone from the attack as they try to protect them and keep them safe. But the Captain seemed eager to bring Leon and Kulais to freedom. Perhaps she would manage to do so before the war struck. Raina would just have to wait and see.

"Me dream nothing more than the weak and hurt to find solace, and freedom, I desire only this for Leon, and the young lad Kulais." Azure's voice was rather serious by this point even her eyes looked at Raina rather annoyed, the woman knew she wasn't trusted. But she wouldn't hide the thought she bore about the emotions that she had sent from Raina, she would welcome her feelings to allow themselves to be known. "A treaty is what I hold, and among these oceans is a war in which I will be forced to bring the peace, no child, or man should ever suffer such a purpose, and dying for it isn't what I aim to achieve, Aye, ye' may speak what ye' wish mate, but unlike all of yous whose destiny is still unwritten, I can still save ye' all from the horrors that lie ahead, Me? I am a woman of peace, and this be not the first time I brought slaves to a better home, Leon..." Her eyes turned to look at him who carried Kulais by this point, she would continue her vent even to the point of protesting the man who insisted in aiding her no matter the cause. She put her foot down her heel a heavy thud, and hand clasp tightly to her hip, as she brought her voice louder, knowing the other crew that had gossiped would hear her, it was her unique way in putting them in their place.
"I am the Captain of this Ship, the Great Azure Lupis Lavonn the third, and as me say, I'll bring ye' to the land of hope, even if it means crossing the Dead seas, and risking my life to do so..." Her voice calmed, and she spoke softly, "Aye, ye' can count on me, the night is drawing near, the seas will not be fair tonight, for I knows, sleep ye' eyes shut into the captains quarter, its behind ye'" She looked at Raina, her eyes making contact and she walked away towards the end of the ship.

Leon looked at Raina with a small smile, "No apology is needed. Like I said, fighting a war is better than being locked in a cage and being ridiculed... and I am stronger than I look and my... sticky fingers can get me far in a war... as long as I know who to work them on." He grinned, then turned to Azure as she explained. "And what if I don't want to leave the ship after we reach this.. so-called land of hope?" He called softly after her. gently, he once more shifted Kulais on his shoulder and hip. Sighing softly, he gave a small nod of his head to Raina, turned and walked down to the Captain's quarters.

Raina knew to little to judge, but Azure wouldn't question it, she smirked as she neared her and soon grabbed her hand, and dug her eyes into hers. She began to speak, tugging her arm lightly hinting her to follow. "The sea be a lovely place, and the others be sleeping, come let me show ye...oh...Leon..." She turned to Leon, her eyes seemed to peer into his soul, she began to speak, her words only seemed to echo, "I want ye to come to the surface, enjoy the night of the seas...much is yet to be unraveled of its wondrous beauty. Now Raina...let me show ye'"

Though she was tired, Raina did not argue. She allowed Azure to lead her wherever she wished. She had a lot to learn about ships, and the layout was at the top of her list. She glanced around as they walked, remembering little details that would help her remember how to get around. She cleared her throat softly and glanced back at Azure. "I am unsure on if it is my place to ask, but how long have you been a Captain? I am not asking out of insult, or doubt as to your capabilities, I am honestly curious. I have always had my curiosities about the sea. But I've also had fears. I've never been off of land." Unsure of why she just said that, Raina shook her head and returned her focus to where they were going. "So, where are we going?"

Alana walked into the market merely to pass through, she wasn't quite sure she enjoyed the view of what was around her. She wasn't sure what what going on but according to the display she was going to bite back her charity as much as possible. She saw a few people gathered about a cage with a young boy and stopped to look in silence. What have we here? she asked herself thoughtfully as curiosity piqued her interest, knowing eventually it would come back to bite her in the but later.

Tick-Li-Rick, a former veteran warrior, proven fighter, combatant of the spirits, renowned enemy to other tribes and father of countless spawn.... Was now in chains. The centaur like creature had its hands bound together, with one of it's ankle tied to a metallic pole that way too many slaves had come to know thoroughly throughout the years. He was one among the many. But maybe, he stood out more than your usual slave stock... Simply because he was an insectoid. His face was a constant moving antennas and strange tentacle looking things that protruded from his face. He wasn't fearful, no, he seemed more curious than anything. Slavery wasn't something he was afraid of, he was confident he could escape in time. What he was worried about, was finding his way home. He did not know how to get home, he did not know how he could possibly start finding a way to get along with these strange people... Let alone a master that will want him to work, fight, or simply torture. It all bothered him very much. But he stood proud, trying to attract the buyers; anywhere was better than being a simple piece of trash that was owned by slavers. He will never forgive them. He will kill every single one of them once he would be free. It would be a crusade none have ever seen before.
