Ceres sighed when she saw Cuttlam basically ignore her and go off somewhere else with a group of sailors. "Ah well, you've seen him now at least." She spoke to Ace, grinning mockingly. "Believe me now? I met him in prison and busted him out a few days ago. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say after a rough start between us I decided to join his crew." "You were telling the truth, I admit that." The man replied, smiling slightly for the first time. "I guess I'll stick around for now, as things are starting to get interesting."

The two went onto the ship, and Ceres immediately dragged two of the remaining men along with her to the cargo hold. "We've been in a constant rush since we left, so how about we all have a drink? To celebrate Ace joining us of course!" It was just an excuse to drink booze. She loved drinking, maybe a little too much even. Though one mug wouldn't hurt anyone. Or at least not anyone worthwhile. What kind of sailor would you be if you got drunk after just one mug of ale, right? By the time the three returned with two barrels the one doing the painting was also almost done, so he could join in soon after. Now all they had to do was wait for Cuttlam and the gang he brought with his to return.
