"You misheard human. I have congratulated you on your punctuality. I only asked why, suddenly, you had seemed to lose your sense of urgency."
She stopped sharply on the boardwalk, readjusting her scarf as she turned toward the open docks.
"There she is."
The siren lifted a hand and gave a presenting wave to the frigate docked beside the pier. Polished black planks shone like onyx atop the gentle waves, the decks and trimmings highlighted with shining painted lines of silver. Light grey sails folded gently against the dark masts, as dragon wings furled for the resting beast. Before the bowsprit of the vessel, shining silver letters curled against its furnished wood.
Quicksilver.
"Right then." Nautalis dropped her hand again, propping it against her side as she turned to face Tay and Jintao. "Offer your complaints presently and we may move on to the next option, should you choose."

Tay leaned toward Jintao, her eyes on the siren. "Is it my turn to voice villainous woes or yours, I keep forgetting."

Had the situation been different, Jintao may have cracked a momentary smile for what Tay said. His gaze rolled down the fine vessel's sails and stopped at the silver letters.
"Majesticy doesn't make a ship," he said, still refusing eye contact with the leading female. "Her captain and crew does. Now, before any decisions are made, I'd like to meet her captain first."

Vhanya stood at the foredeck, boot tapping lightly against the waxed boards, her yellow eyes flicking about the ship.
Without looking towards her, she gestured in Lichen’s direction.
”You’ll learn when it’s needed. Now, I need you to hunt down the Harpy fellow who left so suddenly, I’d like to have everyone in my sight by sundown; we’ll start with him.”

She started towards the aftercastle, and waved a hand at Raven for his attention.
”You’ll be my helmsman, I’ve no doubt you can steer a ship, you’ve got the arms of someone accustomed to a whipstaff.”
She slowed, looking to both Lichen and Raven, “you two can choose your own cabins for now, there are quarters in both the forecastle and aft.“
”You there, Eerie-“ she reached into her coat to procure a hefty bag of coin- “I want you to go and buy me a month’s worth of provisions, nothing more, nothing less. Tell them Marriott sent you and there won’t be any trouble.” She looked up to meet his gaze, “and don’t try running off, I think you’re smarter than to do so anyways.”

She tossed the sack of coins at his feet, then resumed walking towards the aftercastle, “I’m expecting results from the both of you by sunset!” She called, relishing the commanding tone her voice carried.

Vhanya made her way through the steerage to the cabins and stopped at the locked door of her own. From beneath the collar of her shirt she loosed a small necklace, a silver key dangling from its neat chain.
She unlocked the door with a satisfying click, taking care to shut it quietly behind her.

The cabin had gathered a layer of dust after her month’s absence, she stepped over to her desk and brushed it off as best as she was able, she made a note to herself to have the cabin tidied up before they set sail.
She turned fully around, smiling softly as her eyes travelled around the familiar room: The fine red curtains around their small window, which looked out onto the soft morning light that set the port’s waters a-sparkle: Her bookshelves, holding an assortment of maps, literature, and records kept: The small, comfortable bunk in the corner, and her hat hanging on its hook beside the door.

She stopped at the desk to light a candle, still sitting in its holder as it was a month ago, then sat down, pulling out the drawer of the desk to retrieve her logbook.

"Wise words, wise words."
Nautalis started down the stretch of dock to the ship's gangplank, waving a hand for the humans to follow.
"It appears someone is, in fact, here."
The siren stopped at the base of the boarding plank, glancing briefly at Tay and Jintao, before calling out a greeting in the Mythic's base language.
"Is the captain present on this vessel?" She switched back to English.

With Vhanya not giving him any orders, Gecko fixed himself on a ratline. He clinched the net as he climbed it like a human and occasionally stopped to ensure his feathers wasn't getting caught. Coming near the top, he let go with one hand and leaned out. His imagination ran wild as he held out his rusty blade like he was some great pirate who had been sailing his whole life.
A Mythic's greeting stole his attention. There, coming up the gangplank, walked one with bare feet and her head covered. She walked with meaning and trouble in her stance. Something about her being fluttered something in his interest. It was her who spoke the language he hadn't heard another speak in a lifetime.
Gecko's wings flapped uncontrollably. "Greetings!" He exclaimed in the Mythic's language. "Yes, she's... Ah!" his wings got caught in the ratline, which he discovered when he attempted to jump down to the new Mythic. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" He spun from where he hanged, trying to free himself from the net. His wings tangled further and pulled painfully on his back. "Help!" Gecko cried. He grabbed the netting, stabilizing himself. "I'm stuck!"

(this one’s a little rough around the edges )

Vhanya looked up from her logbook, the voice calling in both Mythic Radix and English sounding clearly through to her cabin. She dropped her feet down from their place kicked up on her desk, then loosed her tail from her trousers, in case the strange voice belonged to some soul seeking trouble.

She stepped over to where her hat hung -a ladies‘ hat, with a sweeping brim of rich navy cloth and loops of black lace accenting the hat band. Vanity often plagued pirate captains, and Vhanya was no exception; she loved to look the part.
After thoroughly dusting off the hat from a smattering of cobwebs, she placed it upon her head and strode out of the cabin, taking care to lock the door behind her.

She was past the steerage and out into the morning light in good time, once her eyes caught sight of the Mythic standing on the gangplank, she greeted her in Radix accompanied by a tip of her hat, ”salevtae!“

Her arrival lost a hint of its confidence when the crazed Harpy got himself caught in the ratline.
Ignoring him entirely, she turned her full attention onto the Mythic woman. Two humans stood behind her, a slight-statured girl with trouble on her face and a tall man with the manner of a pirate but the expression of a kicked dog.

She extended a hand, “the name’s Captain Vhanya Marriott. What brings you to my ship?” Her eyes flicked to the humans, ”that’s an odd pair you’re towing, I might add.”

"Ah, Captain Marriott. I believe I've heard mention of you."
Nautalis met her handshake firmly, her gaze lingering briefly on the tangled Harpy clinging to the ratline.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I must say, you own a lovely vessel here, she ought to pull quite a number of attention, yes? We happen to be in need of a ship and a crew. I have a, ah, task, I need to carry out, and your ship caught my eye."

She broke free from the handshake to further survey the appearances of the trio. The man was missing his right arm, and from his posture Vhanya could tell his southern hand was not the dominant one. That was a problem, but she was confident she could find some use for him yet. The young woman was favoring her feet, but apart from that she still looked sharp enough, and the Siren had a cunning sort of gleam about her that was promising indeed.


She clicked her heels, enjoying the flattery towards her ship,“something can be arranged. Are any of you capable of manning a ship? I prefer my passengers to offer some sort of assistance during their stay.“
