Sitting up and rubbing his aching head, Cayde slowly returned to the land of the living. [color=ed1c24]"I'm not sure if that was the best or the worst flying I'd ever seen in my life,"[/color] he said, finally getting up off the ground and readjusting his armor. There was a question on his mind, but he knew he didn't want to hear the answer. No matter what Perkeo would say, it was going to hurt to hear it. To delay the inevitable, he decided to test his sword and adjust the sheath's placement on his hip to leave it in the optimal position in case of a fight.

With nothing else to possibly distract himself, the nobleman let out a sigh and turned to Perkeo. [color=ed1c24]"Any clue where we might have end up? I don't know Ziggurat or it's surrounding islands very well,"[/color] he asked. There was a moment of silence before anything else was said as he mentally prepared himself to ask his next question. It was clear by his expression that he wanted to say more, but was taking great effort to get the words out. [color=ed1c24]"And how many did we lose in the crash?"[/color]

As he awaited an answer from the bard, the nobleman turned back around as he heard something clatter down the hall. Someone had opened the hatch to the bottom deck where they were located. Another survivor or possible scavengers? Either way, Cayde would play it safe and place a hand on the hilt of his sword as he waited to see who it was that had joined them.

A pirate was the one who had stepped out from the darkness, which left the warrior uneasy. Outlaws didn't tend to travel alone. Though it seemed his enemy were the same people that had imprisoned their small band, so perhaps they could find some common ground. [color=ed1c24]"It's stolen,"[/color] Cayde began, not bothering to prevaricate or be ambiguous about what they had done. [color=ed1c24]"We needed it to escape from Ziggurat Prison."[/color] Considering the island's legacy as being inescapable, that should hopefully prove to the newcomer that they weren't to be underestimated.
