Terhikki's eyes widened a bit at Marina's final statement.

[i]What exactly does she mean by that? Intimacy can mean a lot of things- I'm intimate with all my friends in that I don't keep secrets and can be pretty hug-happy. But does she mean like-- Terhikki, just ask, don't let things confuse you![/i] she chastised herself at the end of ther thought process, before retaking control of her eyes.

"What do you mean by 'Intim'---"

She found herself cut off by Marlowe and Marea, but mostly by the contract being handed to her. She took it with mild confusion.

"What's thi- Contract, right." she mumbled to herself, letting the others talk over her. She even flipped it upside down in her hands as if that might somehow help her achieve literacy through some miraculous ephiphany. Sadly, no such sudden realization came. She lifted her head when Marina spoke and asked the two to explain the contract, before she shut her eyes and adopted a smug expression.

"She called me partner, tch. Guess it's official." She giggled to herself, before opening her eyes and looking up at Marlowe and Marea.

"Can I just sign with an 'x' and someone else verify my signature? That worked when I passed through the Imperial Sea." She elaborated as she nodded, her eyes lingering on Marea due to her blue hair but eventually settling on Marlowe as she awaited his explanation. But before he got started, her eyes widened a bit and she grinned.

"Oh dude, you should be on our crew. I can see it in your eyes- the sea's in your blood, you're really excited." She then glanced at Marina and lifted a hand over her own mouth as if to shut herself up as she gestured with the other hand for Marlowe to actually explain the contract. She understood she could be a chatterbox at times and wanted to actually hear the details of this contract before more spontaneous thoughts escaped her mouth.
