[Color=silver][b]Interaction with:[/b][/color] [@Tae] - Adrielle [@dreamingflowers] - Nur

Malek looked over the list on the paper handed to him as he listened to Adrielle's opposition in the idea of ridding the Mermaid's Fortune of the kitten of a demihuman. Malek had never met with a new face on the ship in a positive light. Most proved their worth in due time, but that meant there were a few that didn't. The few that didn't, caused problems and problems led to things that Malek didn't like to think about when concerning the crew. 

Upon noticing Aharuhn's presence, Malek let loose a low quiet grumble and kept his eyes on the paper in his hand. Malek could tolerate only so much of Aharuhn simply due to their incompatible natures. During times of leisure with rum in their bellies, Malek and Aharuhn could have an enjoyable time. Under normal circumstances they weren't fans of each other, then again Malek had few fans on the ship due to how hotblooded he made himself out to be. In his attempt to ignore Aharuhn's presence, something whizzed past his face from behind him. 

Malek watched the thrown object bounce twice and land on the deck. He raised an eyebrow as he watched it gleam in the sunlight. Stepping forward and kneeling down, he grabbed the jeweled hairpin from the deck. He examined it between his fingers and shook his head with a scowl. Malek managed to turn his head just in time to see the culprit escorting the newcomer away to her bunk. [Color=silver][i]Nur... I have something for that one. It’ll just have to wait.[/i][/color] He stood back up with a sigh and moved to his captain's side to assist in accounting for the cargo coming aboard. 

Adrielle's next words caused her first mate to raise his right eyebrow before he spotted her playful smirk. He lowered his gaze and chuckled. When his eyes met hers he nodded. 

[Color=silver]"Aye aye. I guess we'll need the entertainment once things get dull. It’s… good to  see everyone in high spirits before we set sail, even you seem…"[/color] Malek sounded like he wanted to continue, but he furrowed brows as he spotted something. [Color=silver]"Hey! That doesn't go there!"[/color] He shouted at two crew members carrying a large crate. Malek sighed while shaking his head. [Color=silver]"Keep me sane, and I'll do the same for you, Nightingale."[/color] He smirked. It was a phrase that Malek said to his captain from time to time. The two had been close friends long before Adrielle became captain and Malek believes they’ve lived this long because they’ve never failed to support each other.
