Cassandra Xilstine - Fortune Slave
Her cheeks tinged slightly pink at the captains jibe, though it quickly went away as Alora snapped at him. She gave the Siren a smile that told her everything was alright. She then took a deep breath, and began. "Z, Navi needed to take a leave of absence from the ship. I know it's sudden, but it was the hundredth anniversary of her being separated from her lover, and I just couldn't stand to see her so sad. Alora and I convinced her to go and find him, once she does, she'll come right back. She swore it to me and I know she was telling the truth. So... don't be mad, please?"
Captain Zathrian Ellwood - Fortune Slave
He shut himself up at Alora's words, her knew better than to piss her off. Cassie's words shocked him, to hear that Navi had just up and left without even a goodbye, it hurt him a little. He gave a sigh, running a hand through his hair as Cassie asked him not to be mad. "Well, she's already gone so there's not much I can do about it, is there? You'll be taking her place though, Cassie. I hope you can handle double duty." She gave him a salute in response, he knew she had the best eyes of anyone on the ship, even better than Navi. The jury was still out on how well her navigational skills were though, he hoped she wouldn't let him down.
"Thanks for letting me know. We'll just have to move on without her for the time being." He then moved to the deck of the pirate ship to make the morning announcements. "Alright, listen up ya buggers! Firstly, it's been brought to my attention that our favorite navigator, Navyra, had to take an unexpected leave of absence from the crew. She'll be back, but Cassie will be taking up the roll of navigator until she returns. Secondly, The noble girl we captured yesterday, Mireia, and I have come to an accord. She's the only one who can read the map that'll lead us to the treasure we stole it for, so until we find it, she's one of us and under my protection. If I find out one of you has been making life difficult for her aside from the usual hazing, you'll be regretting it, I promise you that. Am I clear?!"
After a resounding "YES CAPTAIN!" He continued. "Alright, prepare the ship to sail, we'll be setting off in a little under an hour. Move it!" As the men set off to work all around him, he moved back to his quarters, stopping next to Cassie and Alora before he entered. "If the girl comes topside, tell her to meet me in my cabin, we need to plot our course." The tiredness was clear in his voice as he shut the door and flopped onto his bed. Completely done with the world and its shit.
