After he had finished helping Ignia untie the ropes and she thanked him, he gave her a smile and a nod. Judging by her clothing, and her politeness, she was, or used to be, someone's servant. Of who she belonged, he didn't know and he didn't feel it right to ask at the moment. 

[i]"I am Ignia. It's a pleasure to meet you. If you ever need assistance, you can always come find me. Thank you very much for helping me with such a task."[/i]

He gave her something that he was sure she wasn't accustomed to, he bowed to her not as someone of lower status than he, but as an equal. "Vance Meridian, At your service, M'lady" he said, sounding happy to introduce himself. "Likewise, if you ever need assistance, please don't hesitate to ask." he said not in a sarcastic tone, but as a genuine offer. He looked out to the water, watching the waves and wondering what was in store for the captain and his crew.
