Jacque listened to everything that Vallière had to say carefully, however for a brief moment his gaze shifted over to the two children eying him wearily, one hiding behind the other. For a second they seemed familiar, however Jacque perished the thought as the matter of payment was brought up, 'Good. So this one's at least able to afford my assistance for the time being.' he thought with a small nod. The contract holding until Relcav was no issue either, Jacque was used to contracts spanning days,weeks, or even months. Finally, Vallière inquired about Jacque's expertise in the way of preforming as a quarter master, Jacque tilted his head up slightly, "My time on a ship serving as an authoritarian of sorts is limited, however as a high ranking soldier of Cotrelini i've lead many scores of men in various situations from armed combat to espionage. Needless to say, I do not think that helping in overseeing the affairs of the ship and crew will be an issue, Captain Vallière.".
