If she were to chalk her actions up to anything, it would easily be nerves. Could you blame her for being nervous though? She was on a [i]pirate[/i] ship destined for god knows where and all she wanted was someone to get her to the island and get her home. And now she was stuck on a pirate ship where the best thing she could have happen to her is get thrown overboard and the worst wouldn’t even be death… 

However, she stared at him as he explained what knots where and her eyebrows rose as she nodded. [color=pink]“Oh… okay.”[/color] That realization left her to know that she was much better off with help then going after this by herself. She had already spent a large amount of time to try to figure out how exactly ‘knots’ worked in the ways of sea travel but it did not prove to be fruitless. Plus after seeing how many people were on the docks getting onto ships and looking at the number of crew he had; she was honestly better off not trying to go alone but whether that would be better than the situation she was currently in was left to be determined.

The mention of sacking in a ship didn’t need an explanation as the twinkle of his eyes and that crooked smile said that ‘sacking’ was a sea word for stealing from a ship, hopefully just stealing but… who knows. A sense of danger washed over her and all of her hair seemed to stand up on end. Oh god what did she get herself into. Her attention went to the map she had made and followed his finger trace with her eyes. If they were off the course she needed and it would take some time for them to get back… all because he had to get some gold.

A gentle sigh left her. Sure it wasn’t ideal but it was more then what she had and that she needed to be grateful for. His question pulled her attention to her book. [color=pink]“Um…”[/color] Turning the page she scanned the words and translated them within her mind. [color=pink]“12 knots north so… twelve hours.”[/color] Look at her learning stuff.

The presentation of the cup to her seemed almost surprising. He was being… kind? She couldn’t let this gesture get to her and let her guard down. Her life depended on him liking her to some degree but also her future depended on his help. As he took up the cup she did the same but again, hearing his name cause her hair to stand on end. [color=silver][i]Of course it would be Calypso’s ship.[/i][/color]

She clanked her drink against his, [color=pink]“Money, Captain Fenix,”[/color] Her answer was simple and straight forward. [color=pink]“I need money.”[/color] With that she took a drink.

To her surprise it was really good and her small drink turned into a big and practiced gulp. [color=pink]“I must say Captain, I’m surprised you’d share such good wares with someone you seem to be so apprehensive about working with.”[/color] A small giggle left her as she took another large drink and let out a long sigh, [color=pink]“I haven’t had a drink like this in a while. Thanks Captain.”[/color] 

A nod rose and fell her head before she laid the book down on the table and opened it back to the page she had been on before. [color=pink]“According to this after we travel the 12 knots north we will travel 48 knots east.”[/color] A small whistle left her, [color=pink]“Boy this seemed like a lot shorter trip when I thought they were referring to knot tying.”[/color] Shaking her head she let out a sigh before moving the liquid in the cup. Her sea green gaze turned up to the Captain from across the table. [color=pink]“Can I trust that I have safe passage there and back?”[/color] She may not be in the best position to ask such a question but if he was sharing a drink with her that must mean something right…?
