Jacque looked down at the twins and offered them a polite nod as they eyed the new crew with one part curiosity and another wariness. The merc gave a small, nearly inaudible chuckle as he made note of how Adrian's sibling stayed behind him as if for protection and lightly tapped her shoulder with his tail, "You needn't be afraid child. No harm will come to you nor your brother. Now come, Captain Vallière has requested I learn from you everything I need to know about the ship." he said before jerking his thumb in the direction of the Averice. Jacque kept his voice soft and calm, after all, Adelyn and Adrian were children, not soldiers, aside from them and the captain however, everyone else would receive the same tone and attitude he gave to anyone under his command; reserved, but demanding nothing less than perfection.
