Roxy did not show, leaving the group to wonder about her whereabouts. Seeing as how they could not stay out in the open for too long, even in the slums, they had no other option than to make their way back to their hideout in the basement of the tavern, taking the stranger along with them. It seemed that he was familiar with the place, and started to give away more about who he was. Kai settled in a corner, reloading his pistol while he listened to 'Eryx' speak. Hearing the mention of 'old friends', he wondered what kind of people occupied the place before Roxy had put the current group together.

He then looked up when Ratte called to him with a question, and let out a nervous chuckle. "It's easy as long as you're good with angles and distances, Ma'am. It really depends on how well you know the area and how detailed you would like to be. Sometimes landmarks would suffice, though you might want to use coordinates to divide the sheet if they help make the landmasses more accurate. Contrary to what many believe, us seafarers rarely make 'treasure maps', if ever. I wouldn't recommended drawing a map leading to your hidden loot, considering the obvious risk of that. You can't even trust you own crew, even if they are the closest thing to a family you have..."

The boy trailed off, his initial cheer fading as he thought back to his times out at sea. He was silent as he slotted his pistol back through the cloth around his waist and put away his tools. He should have been delighted, they had successfully finished the job and currently had the means to celebrate. However, Kai had to relax in his own way before that, the same way he always would. He grabbed a cloak that was lying around and pulled it over his head. It would be safer to step out now that it was dark.

"I'd be glad to answer any more questions you might have later if you're still keen on that project," was the last thing he said to Ratte before he left.
