Cassius found himself embarrassed with himself. He yet again did not feel very useful in the situation. He knew it would be dangerous all around even if he didn't fight. But something about not being able to do much exhausted him internally. But the sight of Hitori did give him some form of relief, and then the many arms of the entranced Ritsu. He wrapped his arms around him, though his grip wavered due to feeling like a weak link... He paled in comparison next to anyone on the ship. Maybe this line of work just wasn't for him. But slowly he picked himself up, standing with Ritsu. "I'm fine. Just..." 

Camazotz slowly pulled the arrow from himself out before wondering over to the remains of the Captain Hitori effortlessly turned into Demi human sludge... Camazotz seemed to be regenerating as he too dug into his remains as a natural predator. After a few moments of devouring some of the remains, he pulled the double barreled handgun from the Captain's hand, bringing it to Cassius. Camazotz seemed to want some form of reward. Cassius slowly stroked his head as the bat smiled awkwardly. At least Cassius knew how to use a gun... But that does not mean much to most. 

"Camazotz, clean up the deck will you? I don't think others need to deal with this... Hitori... Can you have your... dolls maybe help clean the insides of the ship so the repair can be made, that is if there is any damage? We don't want this ship exceeding more damage than it needs." Cassius requested. He looked to Itzal. "I'm fine, just... I wish I was a bit more useful past just having many things to throw at others." 

With this, Cassius returned below deck to see Baku, as well as their progress. 
"We cleared the Raiders out, there Captain is dead, as I have his Arm here." Cassius held out the Pistol he acquired.

"Hmm... That Arm belongs to Daigo, Should fetch a pretty penny... That is if you're a bounty hunter." Baku stroked his beard. "Nice job lad, the others?" 

"They did fine, no one was hurt in the attack... Just the Raiders who seemed to lack any form of skill." Cassius stated. "However, there is quite a mess of deck..."

"Was it that damn Fox?" Baku grinned to himself as the ship went a bit higher in the sky. 

"Yes, he killed that man in an instant. The girls did well as you can imagine." Cassius placed the Gun to his side. 

"Alright. Good. But do yourself a favor..." Baku began. "Enough with the million outfits, I get that the Regent wants a professional in this work... But... You stick out like a sore thumb with all these outfits. I suggest you settle down soon. But how did you do up there? Aside from the clear fact you're alive." Baku asked. 

"Defended for Itzal, Took out about two men myself, and my Familiar took out quite a few. But... This gun did knock me down." Cassius admitted. 

"I'm not your dad, but you probably need to decide on what kind of.... armor you're going to stick with rather than situational clothing... You jump back and forth, that isn't trying to get a grip, that is just improvising... While Improvising can be great, much like in actin' lad, but you can't do it forever. My advice is to dress light, but carry a big gun, and a blade to back you up... You seem to be better with a Firearm anyhow..." Baku chuckled. "Also... Dismiss your magic wings... I know they are not really part of you... you fooled us twice, but stop. We're allies, so be clean with us." 

"As you wish..." Cassius lamented conceding he had a point as his wings seemed to vanish from his body.  

"Now go see the Princess, I bet the lass is lonely." Baku grinned to himself. "And... We'll be in Treno tonight... So best prepare... You can't take everything with you." 

Great, now he actually had to evaluate what he was going to keep, and what had to be left. [i]"Okay... Fire Arms... And a blade... I'll keep that in mind... I have good mobility... not the best agility... I'll figure it out...[/i] Cassius thought to himself as he paced to lower below deck. In the training room he found Garnet staring over the deceased body of Minerva... 

Garnet's expression was wracked with grief.
"Garnet..." Cassius began. "Perhaps I should have been down here..." There was a sense of guilt he felt looking at her so down trotted as she was. But it was simply not in his control. 

"Mr.Svent... It's... No one's fault... The Raiders... They cornered us and so she fell..." Garnet was on her knees, holding Minerva close to her. "I won't let her death be for nothing... I will make it to Lindblum and prevent this war... I must... I ask you bring Hitori to me... The Kumiho here as well... He could maybe give her a proper farewell..." Garnet sniffled.

"Oh my way..." Cassius made a quick turn, and yet there was another loss in the corner... he saw the dead body of that of Perrin... He didn't know him too well, but he felt a horrible sense of responsibility as if this too was his fault. 

Cassius took a breath and concentrated, relaying thought to Camazotz. 

"Hiiiitorrri." Camazotz' screechy voice projected on the deck. "Weeee will be arrrriving on Treno Sssooon. But you're needed below deck... Cassius found Bodies... The Princess is safe."
