Crow had managed to slip inside of the cargo bay, scrounging up some food that they had stored away, or any valuables to sell. It wasn't too bad, and plus he had yet to be detected yet. He had time to settle down almost amongst the cargo boxes and so on. He currently sat quite comfortably, in a make shift chair he had made out of the boxes and some stored away blankets. His eye stared up at the high ceiling and sighed as he lifted his legs to cross them up onto a box as a foot rest. If he could stay like this for a while, he would would be well off for a few months at least.

She kept her own magical energies held tightly to herself, integrating them with the flow of energy around her so that they would be as unnoticeable as possible. Carefully, she thickened that protective shell around herself and only then pushed enough magic into her legs that she could jump high up on to the crates which should give her a good view. She only needed a brief peek before hopping down and moving back.
She circled around quietly. He had blocked himself off from view as best he could, but that meant it was easier to hide from him as well. There wasn't any need to startle him. She was more curious to see what he would do if he heard her moving around, so she started making some more noise, picking a random box to rummage through.

It had been a while since Crow had heard anyone down here. But this time, the sound was closer than before. His head inclined upward, his tall stature trying to peek over some boxes, but to no avail. It was like a handicap with this missing eye of his. He had learned to deal with it though.
The one eyed man slowly made his way past some of the aisles of boxes. He snorted as he suddenly stopped in a large open area. No need to be cornered, right? He walked around in place, in a full circle, to see whoever it was. Soon, he stopped and stared ahead of himself, raising an eyebrow. Crow soon spoke, his voice almost booming.
"C'mon now. Don't be so shy! I won't bite."

"I thought I didn't recognize that voice," she said. "Who are you?"
The smell of blood assailed her nose again, faint but present, to her at least. It was doubtful he would guess she could smell it. There was no undercurrent of rotting meat or entrails. It wasn't too fresh, and he didn't look wounded at first glance. Her face was calm and her posture relaxed, but she was very prepared for quick movements.

For all he knew, she could have been someone either on the ship, which he didn't mind, or from that blasted insane asylum, Deadman Wonderland. And there was no way he was going back there again. The man stood his ground though. "Heh, depends on who's askin'." he responded as he tilted his head to the side, to get a better look at her with his only eye.

She noticed the way he tilted his head to the side to get a look at her. She took that to mean he probably couldn't sense his surroundings magically. She'd noted that those like herself, able to sense the magical field around them tended to use that ability to compensate for the missing part of their vision field. Now and then they would turn their heads like that, but it was usually to look at something specific like a facial expression that they couldn't read from simply sensing a shape.

"I've been living here for a while. I don't really have a place to live. Plus, I wouldn't know how you all would ah... react. Especially to some guy like me. But now that I've been found, I really don't care anymore." It wasn't that Crow was ashamed of his power. He didn't really show it off unless there was a fight coming up. If he did flaunt his powers, well, he may be rejected from staying on this ship, or worse, sent back.

She advanced on him, two casual footsteps. His line of thinking was almost childishly simple, or naive. Somebody...sheltered? But he seemed jumpy, and rough. Maybe from Kropmork, never strayed far from his little neighborhood, or guild. Tough but not wise in the broader ways of the world.
"But now you've made me curious. Just what kind of guy are you?"

The bladed rings on his thumbs ran along the outside of his forearms, creating large cuts in them. It almost seemed like a scary sight, even as the blood started to bubble and even dribble down his arms. But suddenly, the blood began to rise from the cut, floating for a brief moment before it gathered, branching out from his cut to his forearms and shot outward. In a fl;ash, the blood formed into two curved blades.
Crow lowered his arms and rubbed his thumb across the side of his nose before me smiled widely. "I'm a kind of guy you don't wanna mess with."

Yoruichi didn't move, but mentally she was facepalming at his action. Why couldn't people just use their brains? She sifted through possible responses and decided against escalation. She shouldn't reveal more of her fighting skills than was strictly necessary.
"I see," she said calmly. "And what do you think you are going to do with those? Would you really slice up a defenseless, innocent woman?"

Crow wasn't one for words all that much. He even grew a little irritated as he looked to see that she wasn't showing any offense, let alone any defense. But Senji stood with his legs slightly bent, ready to spring if she was playing the whole innocent act to get his defenses down. He wasn't gonna fall for it! Nope! Not one bit! He even focused his eyes on her face as he stood there. Even though his stance was firm, his limbs slightly shook.

She sounded faintly amused as she eyed Crow, still looking rather relaxed despite how obviously emotional he was.

"Now that you mention it. It wouldn't be too bad to work here I suppose." Just as long as he kept a low profile in general. "Would your Captain mind if I worked here? Or wait, I heard he was captured. Is that true?"

Yoruichi trusted that if she brought him to Jabu and handled the situation correctly, he would not only hire Crow, but think it was his idea to boot.

Crow lifted his hand to rub at one of his arms. He didn't get closer to her as he accepted her offer. Why couldn't he just.. find the first mate himself? Well who would trust a man who controlled blood walk around so freely?
Reply
But at least he was calming down. Hopefully he wouldn't try that with other, less calm crew members. But if he did, that was what the brig was for.
