Nautalis stared at him in motionless silence for a long, tense moment, disproval showing in her eyes.
"If you aren't who you want to be, then by God, be him."
She slid the dagger back into the leather sheath against her arm, sitting down and leaning forward in the seat once more, propping an arm on the table.
"If you're being forced into a life you don't want, then you need to learn to break free." The cunning glitter returned to her gaze and she tugged the scarf away from her face, letting the covering drape from her neck over her chest.
"What would you say about perhaps making a deal, yes? Can you sail?"

Jintao sat there silent and wide-eyed for a minute or two. The woman was almost talking like Tay. Slowly, leaning forward, he said, "C-can I sail?" He swallowed the lump that was in his throat and glanced at Tay. "Yeah, I can sail. Quite well in fact." He patted his empty sleeve. "That is, if this doesn't give me any trouble."

The young woman's eyes flicked wide, her pupils widening again as her gaze shot down to his apparently empty coat sleeve.
"Oh- oh. Goodness, I should have seen..."
She facepalmed gently, realization drawing.
"I've heard talk about you, human. You're a pirate, yes? Or at least, you were. That clerk wasn't crazy after all. Good then- quite well. You'll do nicely."
She readjusted her posture, clasping her hands in front of her in a business-like manner on the table.
"What would you say, perhaps, to joining the Rebellion?"

"You've been following me a lot longer than I thought you were," he chuckled, but not from humor. "Uh," he patted his hand on the table. Here we go again, he thought. It was another trail that he didn't want any part of, but he feared if he said no that it would be a fatal mistake.
"Well, I am in forbidden territory for the likes of me looking to set sail further from where I'm allowed to go." He stilled his hand and stared at Tay. "And I'm currently with someone that I could be executed for not turning in and helping get this far." Jintao turned his attention back to the siren. "I don't feel as though I have a choice in the matter unless I choose death."

"Ah, true, true. You don't have a choice."
A small grin turned up the corner of her lips.
"But the Rebellion offers protection where it can, and activity isn't always required. Sometimes, an extra set of eyes and ears will suffice. But in turn for my offering you this choice rather than finishing my task unquestioned, it will require your direct assistance in this mission, at the very least."

Jintao gave a slight nod. He leaned forward. "In what direct assistance are you talking about?"

"You are a sailor, yes? While I have sufficient knowledge of the sea, I have little experience with sailing, and my current mission happens to require such a feat. I need an ally who can accompany me on this mission, and it will take too long to travel to South and back with the support I need."
Nautalis tilted her head slightly.
"So what do you say then, human? A chance to get back out on the open sea? Get out of this life you are forced into, and perhaps, find the man you want to be?"

@_-Captain BRM-_ (She's got to be awake by now, right?)

Jintao inhaled a long breath, thinking it over. He put his hand to his chin and scratched his short beard. As far as finding the man he wanted to be, he doubted being on a mission like this would draw that out. He thought of the dangers, then the added danger should the King's navy find him out to sea again.
Dangers aside, being out on a ship again did sound inviting. It promised the fresh salty air and the soothing rocking of the ship. Not to mention, out at sea, there would be no surprise meetings with the King's soliders and no crowded streets with busy fishermen throwing their fresh catch above his head while he looked for anything amiss.
"I suppose I'm in," Jintao held out his hand for a shake. "That is," he pulled his hand back. "If you can promise me protection. I'm going to need added protection with my right arm gone and all. I haven't held a weapon since I lost it."

"Ah, indeed."
Nautalis unclipped a dagger from her belt, setting the sheathed weapon on the table between them and outstretching her other hand to encourage the shake he had discouraged himself from.
"Keep the blade, it isn't of much use to me anyway. I'll watch your back for the time that you are assisting me, and if you prove yourself well, I'll put in a good word to my superiors on your behalf."

Jintao picked up the dagger. It was lightweight in his hand and its steal blade reflected off the tavern's dull light. He held it at an angle, eyeing its straightness.
He set the weapon down and took her hand and shook it. "It's a deal then." He laid his hand down on the dagger, feeling the ridges on the handle and the smoothness of the blade. "How long do you suppose this mission will take."
