All she wanted to do was read, why did the crew have to be so obnoxious? With that thought in mind, she looked up at Huangdi as he cut himself short of swearing and narrowed her eyes at him. He was one of the crew members she had thought would let her read in peace, alas she seemed to have been mistaken about him. [color=BFB4B0]"[i]'Hey there'[/i]? Really? You sure know how to greet someone whom you've rudely barged in on. Good to see Xia's royalty is taught basic manners and courtesy."[/color] Rolling her eyes at Huangdi's question, she shot back the retort in an overly harsh tone. All this disruption of her reading was putting in a bad mood, not helped at all by the weather. She would much rather be outside in some comfy shade reading a novel in some natural light, rather than stuck down in a cold, unnaturally lit compartment of the ship. And to top it off, the gun deck seemed to be [i]damp[/i] and smelled funny. But it was still better than being in the barracks with the rest of that unruly lot. [color=BFB4B0]"And I'm just [i]fine[/i], thank you. I don't want or need your concern. Just because I do not wish to partake in such barbaric, boorish activities with those uncivilized mongrels is not merit to feel concern for someone either."[/color] Getting up, she brushed down the front of her skirt and crossed her arms over her chest. She wasn't done yet. [color=BFB4B0]"I'm not sure how royalty and nobles are meant to act in Xia Mr Huangdi, but you won't catch me dead even considering joining in such obnoxious and loud festivities. And frankly, I'm disappointed that you do. What exactly does one gain from being loud, uncivilized louts yelling and singing with the ability of an out of tune violin, and at the volume of an orchestra in full swing? It's frankly disgusting just thinking about coming into contact with those smelly, sweaty pigs yet you stand there, linked arm in arm with them like it's the natural thing to do. And I can smell the stench you got from them from where I stand, so please don't come any closer or I might yet lose my lunch...Why is it that it seems like the only other person on board with any common sense is Sania?"[/color] Shaking her head she let out an exaggerated sigh, stepping sideways a couple of times. She was up against the wall, but she just wanted some extra space between her and Huangdi because she wasn't kidding about the smell. The mixture of various body odors and alcohol, along with sweat, was overpowering her nostrils. She was equally disgusted a noble of any kind would let themselves lower their standards to the same as these [i]barbarians[/i]. However she kept her eyes on Huangdi rather than where she was going, and now let out a loud, high-pitched squeal as she tripped over a rope and fell flat on her buttocks. Not before flailing her arms about like an absolute maniac as she tried to keep her balance, letting go of her book in the process. It flew towards Huangdi's face and would smash straight into his nose if he didn't react to it. [color=BFB4B0]"....Why can't you all just leave me alone for once?"[/color] Covering her face, which was currently flushed with embarrassment, the teenager sounded exhausted. She was over this, well and truly. She would eagerly trade this entire motley crew in for home without a second thought.
