The next member of the group, whom had been entirely silent up until this point, looked around at the other seven owners. [i]My, my, what a lot we have this time around. And already, most are trying to be captain. Not surprising really, who wouldn't want to be at the top?[/i] he thought to himself. He reached over to the plate and took a bit of cheese, chewing on it thoughtfully, [i]Can't say I trust the Orcs, they're destructive and we'll likely get killed following them. The Elves, while they understand nature and respect it, they might unintentionally turn the ship into a trade vessel, and I know none of us signed up for that. The Humans, excluding myself, seem to want to be captain, even if they're not being obvious about it.[/i] he thought as he finished his piece of cheese. At that moment, the female Elf caught his attention when she pointed at the Human who had spoken previously. Alex recalled the man's words, [i]He makes a solid case, and he also seems to be the most levelheaded one here, excluding myself. My only concern is someone with little to no experience getting the position of navigator, they could wind up leading us in circles.[/i] he thought, his eyes finally drifting to the man across from him. He cleared his throat, "You make a good case, sir, a fair proposition if I ever heard one. I will give you my support, however, it comes with a price. If you can ensure that I will have the position of navigator on the ship, then you have my vote. However, don't misunderstand, this has nothing to do with loyalty or anything like that. I am doing what is right for the ship, nothing more, nothing less. And, of course, this deal applies to the others who wish to be captain." he said, looking at all of them again.
