[Stepping into her room brings you to the captain's quarters of her old ship, the Siren's Call. A large luxurious bed takes up much of the space. Decanters of alcohol are haphazardly lined up on a table in a corner and there's a desk against the other wall. Clothes are scattered throughout much of the room, as are piles of discarded jewelry.

[An interesting dynamic - a bit haphazard and almost untouched is one side of the room, and pristine and fresh is that desk. Cross does not touch anything though, although he wants to touch and examine anything and everything in here. Instead, he goes up to the deck, breathing in the sea air as he moves towards the captain. Clearly this is not a wish of hers, to own a ship one day and commandeer it - no, she did own a ship and commandeer it.]

It is rather beautiful up here.

[she glances back, a slow smile spreading across her face]

Surprising, isn't it? I was expecting one of those nice, dark alleyways you use to mug people.

[echivoc]

[he returns the smile, leaning against the railing next to her]

Well, you don't exactly peg me as the type to be in dark alleyways on a regular basis.

[checkbelowdecks]

[a chuckle]

No, I suppose I don't. Lying in wait for the occasional drunkard is much too boring.

[echivoc]

it looks like you had better things to do, especially with this vessel.

[checkbelowdecks]

[a softer smile as she lovingly pats the railing]

I've always liked seeing what's beyond the horizon.

[echivoc]

It does become boring remaining in the same place for long.

[checkbelowdecks]

[a chuckle] It becomes a pain once all the people you've wronged find out where you're staying.

[she might be exaggerating a bit. Or not.]

[echivoc]

[he chuckles as well] That, too. But you sure look like you've handled those situations fine.

[checkbelowdecks]

Despite the fact that it felt rather like a conspiracy, the way they all show up at once.

[echivoc]

They can't exactly catch you if you outrun, or is this case, outsail them fast enough.

[checkbelowdecks]

[smirk] Slitting a few throats tends to solve the problem too.

[a pause] Well, that makes it worse sometimes, because then they send even more lackeys after you.

[echivoc]

And then you just created a mess on your attire, with no good end result. Of course, the right type of person could clean that mess up for you.

[checkbelowdecks]

The blood does tend to get everywhere. [grin] Why, what did you have in mind?

[echivoc]

[grins back] A warm shower could easily take care of that.

[checkbelowdecks]

Or perhaps somebody to scrub my back.
