He had a fascination with foreign foods and was curious if anything here was particularly different than in New Capita. He'd found some small vendors selling smoked fish in the streets and he purchased some on a whim. He knew that Markus would be looking for ingredients as well, so he tried to find fresh vegetables and fruits for the man to use. The Myrmidon also purchased some ginger and tea leaves to help ease his minor seasickness. On his way back into the port Cael ran into Li, one of his companions that he'd gotten to know a little about during their trip. After speaking briefly to Li, Cael noticed the raised voices on the ship. He could hear something about a democracy before he heard Artyom yell at the Archer. Cael groaned, shifting the box of supplies he'd had in his hands. "[color=B70000]Seriously?[/color]" He asked as he stepped onto the deck. "[color=B70000]What in the name of hell are you two fighting about? We're not even halfway into this trip and people are already screaming.[/color]" The young man's voice came out annoyed as he placed the box down, before noticing the new face. "[color=B70000]Stowaway, huh? I'm assuming she's trying to join us.[/color]" Cael's eyes glanced around. Most, if not all, of the party was at least within earshot. "[color=B70000]Trial by combat.[/color]" The words passed through his lips with practiced ease. Looking to Artyom, he nodded. "[color=B70000]Surely that will tell you if she is worth the rations. You're a capable warrior and we have a Cleric on hand.[/color]" He'd been tested in the same way before, it was a fair way to see if someone was worth keeping around. Looking around, Cael looked to the Archer. "[color=B70000]Unless you have a better idea that would also tell us if she's worth keeping around. This is only a scouting operation, but that doesn't mean we need weak links. We could be attacked by pirates on the way there, or noticed by the enemy before we're even ashore.[/color]"
