It was here that he was found be Lady Delilah, a woman who had taken the title Captain under his desires, and one who served him in turn as well as a daughter-like figure and friend. Delilah knew what Izal expected of her as Captain, and what he expected of her as someone who had grown to shape her as she is now in ways. This is why he greeted her with a smile and a nod, for she spoke to him of something he cared about greatly. [color=lightblue]"Aye, Lil'Delilah, we are rarin' and stocked. I am itchin' for their rudder to dance before us. I seek a good fight, it has been a few too many since one has made me smile. I hope this ship keeps to it's name."[/color] Izal spoke to her with a deep voice of rather interested tone.[color=lightblue] "I wanna see'em put a fight in this ole Ship's Sails. Aquarius has been restless, she deserves a good fight, ya'know?"[/color] Izal turned to look at Delilah a moment before raising his brow. [color=lightblue]"How'bout'ya? Ya'ready for a good fight Delilah?"[/color] He asked sarcastically followed by a hardy laugh before turning to face his left foot and in-turn Delilah. [color=lightblue]"Ya'listen to me now. I can't make'ya not fight, but I can keep'ya safe. If ya'happen to get fightin'.. Ya'stick with me, and don't stray."[/color] Izal spoke firm and commandingly, but with a tone that was almost respectful, fatherly at most, and determined. He would ensure her safety, and the safety of his crew as they earn it in their duties. This was a duty of his own and he would always uphold it for those who earned his respect and care. However earning such would take great time and dedication to the [i]Great Aquarius[/i], Delilah, and himself. Those who disrespected him, failed to do their duties of free will, or tried to mutiny for any reason were subject to immediate punishment on the water, of which mostly meant Izal cleaved them or through them overboard tied and knotted to the rudder. This is why he speaks with force and determination to all, and this is why Delilah is happy to keep him force over the ship and crew. No more than a minute passed after Izal's words to Delilah before he quickly roared out over the ship with a tone of power and command. He raised his right hand with a tiny firearm clenched in it, it was a firing blank, a firearm meant to make noise and attract attention. He did just that as he squeezed the trigger and fired the small burst of noise that garnered the crew's attention as they worked. [color=lightblue]"Aye! Heed me now. Bosun! I need'ya to walk'bout and tend the men, sure up the sails and keep us full less I have to start droppin' dead weight! Gunnery Officer! I expect ya'best be mountin' and preppin' the weapons, as well as readyin' all the gunnery men. There had better be no wet powder and no unloaded arm when we reach this fool of a wood-block, the [I]True Blue[/I]."[/color] Izal commanded to his Bosun and his Gunnery Officer the simple and obvious orders of preparation before a fight, but he would soon give more words to his crew when the time came.
