Runa listened to the tale Luro told with interest. She had never heard the story told that way before. Of course, there were probably many different versions to the story especially when it came to drunken pirates. "Don't worry, if I see him, you all will be right behind me. Like I told you all before, you'll get part of all the treasure we get. Therefore, when we find it, we'll all be seeing this so called captain who started it all."  She nodded, as if making that final before they continued on with their conversation. 

When Nolan yelled out from the kitchen, Runali jumped down, landing on the main deck without a sound. "Intruders, eh? It looks like we have a stowaway." Kai was already at Nolan's side, looking around and Runali searched as well. Being shorter than the two, she noticed the girl in the crate before them, and pointed to where she was so Kai could grab her. Runa blocked off the exit till Kai grabbed her. She expected some huge grunt, planning to kill them all for the ship and the new treasure they got. Instead, they found a girl, shorter than she was. "Ha, no wonder she managed to hide so well. Bring her to the main deck." 

She was dumped onto the deck and Runa motioned for Luro or Ray to tie her up. "She may not look like a threat, but that doesn't mean she isn't one. Don't take any chances." Her arms were crossed after she adjusted the hat on her head. "So... Mind telling me who you are and why you're stowing away on my ship? Or do I have to throw you overboard?" It wasn't safe to just randomly trust anyone- especially not if you were a pirate. Runa gave the girl a chance though. She wasn't heartless, and by first glance, it didn't look like she destroyed the kitchen.

"Captain! Pirate ship dead ahead! Plan?" The male looked out to the sea with a smug grin. His sunglass reflected the sea in them, and a cigarette rested between his lips. There was a small pause as the captain eyed the flag of the ship. 

 "Tch, kidnap them. We could use more slaves. They could do just the job. Kill the captain, and take the crew and treasure. The crew will be useful to add to our little collection." He grinned maniacally and turned away from the deck, going to sit in his quarters.

"Hopefully they have a better cook than our own. . ."

"Aye Captain!" The crew member saluted and went to order the others to catch the ship.

Before they managed to get a good interrogation out of her, Runali's good eye caught the sight of a ship coming toward them with haste. "Hm? That flag. . . Hey Luro, give me a boost." When he did, she narrowed her eyes once again, catching sight of the flag.

"Those aren't pirates, nor the government. That's a slave ship, they're cruel thieves and I don't think they are going to bypass -" Just as she was about to tell them it was probably time to get a move on, cannons were fired. They missed and hit the water, but the ship was approaching fast on their right side. "It hasn't even been a full day, and this is the second time we've gotten attacked. The life of a pirate. Arm the cannons!" Runa jumped off of Luro and she looked at their new prisoner, wondering what to do with her for the time being. Well, she didn't mean any harm by the looks of it, and Runa wasn't cruel enough to just kill her for no reason. So, the captain waited to see if she would come up with a good enough excuse.
