Marcus tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for the crew to gather. He held his hand up in an attempt to silence anyone who was talking, before he began speaking, in a slightly irritated tone: [color=chocolate]'' Now, I'm not going to question why you were in my private quarters. I'm the one who didn't lock them so there's no reason to punish you for my lack of foresight''[/color]. He paused for a second to glance inside the room to see if anything was moved or taken. Relived that everything seemed to be in place, he continued: ''[color=chocolate]Anyone who left the ship at any point ever since we arrived will accompany me to the castle. There's an issue we need to sort out and I wouldn't mind some back-up. Bring your weapons[/color]''. Done with the initial explanation, he considered ending the instructions there but knowing the crew members, the captain ultimately decided to add: [color=chocolate]'' We will be travelling with the royal guards and the prince. Don't do anything that would get us hanged, don't attack unless I say so. You have five minutes to get ready''[/color]. 

Feeling like he said all that needed to be said, Marcus dropped off his bag near the ship's wheel. At least he could relax his arms during the time the crew members prepared to leave. Leaning against the edge of the ship, he awaited the unavoidable questions which he would do his best to deflect until he figured out what was going on.
