Illiendi was surprised, well, a little surprised and such was a hard enough task to accomplish! The boy had taken the playful jest as words of criticism and in some way they were. It was true that Illiendi would have had to exert far more effort on the people in the bar to get what they wanted and he had no man such as Russ to confide in. It was one of the downsides of being trapped down in hell until some idiot decides to bring them up for some fresh air. Most of the time though the human's about him didn't notice such subtle jibes, such...disappointment was a harsh word but perhaps the most fitting. Too captivated by his smile, his charms, the aura that demons emitted to remain hidden among the cattle they served and sacrificed dependent on whatever masters whim it was. Then again there were the odd few, ones like this one who saw through the tricks and half truths, sometimes it was a boon that they could, it made things a lot easier but most of the time it was a farce, making it more difficult to get to the end of a contract without some drama or difficulty. 

He said not a word though as they approached the ship and as the Captain moved out onto deck, Amano giving permission for him to take the lead but with hiked brow at the words he paused a moment. As soon as Amano was as he had instructed him to stand though, he bowed and uttered, "As you wish [i]my master[/i]." The mirth gone from his voice, had his tone ever had any, back to the voice and tone Amano was much more used to. His words also simple and to the point, avoiding false flattery or even soothing the nobles clearly damaged ego. Any words he gave would likely be poor succor to the man now and truly aside for using his initiative in talking to Russ there was little to compliment, aside the avoidance of speaking about him and the night previous. 

With an easy and graceful step Illiendi slipped up the gang plank and hailed the Captains attention with a friendly smile, "Ahoy there my good Captain, might have your ear a moment, there could be good coin in it for you." The Captain who was stretching out a drunken stupor and scratching his sweaty balls looked up at the friendly smooth tones and narrowed his beady eyes trying to focus on the person standing at the edge of the ship. He was about to tell the man to piss off when he spoke of coin, well, he did need another job. "Aye, then come aboard and let us talk." He called back to Illiendi, the demon gave an easy warm smile and stepped onto the deck, closing the distance between the pair until there was naught but a daggers length between them. 

Sadly for Amano there was little to pick up on from their distance, aside the posture his servant held, he struck a gallant figure on the boat and spared little expense on prideful or vain gestures such as pushing hair away and tidying it behind his ears, even when the wind caught it and swept it brazenly free of the neat style it had earlier been in. He didn't point or gesture much at all with his hands, only doing so perhaps twice in the entire conversation. The Captain on the other hand used exaggerated hand gestures, stood slumped and scratched like a man with fleas now and then but one could tell he was trying his best to hold it back. From the snippets that would drift on the wind Amano would here the Captain -whose voice wasn't as soft as Illiendi's could be- ask about price and destination, cargo and crew and he would see the Captain nodding as Illiendi whispered in his ear. 

For what it was worth it did not seem that the Captain was spellbound by Illiendi, the means used for the discussion seemed mortal enough and in the end the Captain smiled a toothy grin and shook Illiendi so firmly by the hand it would be a wonder if the demon didn't bruise from it. All the while illiendi had offered an easy, small smile, one that was not intimidating but welcoming and open, now the deal was done he smiled a wider grin with the warmth of summer and even laughed lightly as the Captain did at some small joke. 

With the deed done the Servant slipped from the ship with a wave to the Captain and a promise to return with payment by night fall, "Tha's what I like to hear!" The Captain called back with a grin before setting to work checking over his ship. Once Illiendi had unhurriedly returned to Amano's side he of course filled him in with the same soft, quiet tones he had for the sailor himself. "He'll do it, he was dubious at first but when I mentioned our first port of call he was all too happy to oblige, he even will take us that far for half the price if it means getting to stop there for a full day. He will take payment tonight or he will look for another job 'work is work' to a man like him, as long as he has his pay he won't leave until we're ready to go. He knows little about what we are doing, just that you are a young lord with no direct claim to any land or small holdings wanting to explore before being married off. Speaking of which has your father found you a match yet?"
