  [b][i]"Easy now with the cargo, y'all! Capin' ain't gonna be any pleased if she finds only broken or dinged supplies once we get off the ground!"[/i][/b] A voice that sounded like an avalanche roaring its way down a mountainside boomed over a group of the pixie deckhands that were bickering over a crate of sugars that was set to go to the ship's kitchen quarters. The owner of the thunderous voice was no other than the ship's giant of a bosun, Clay. He offered the little fairy folks a stern look that quickly melted into a warm smile as he kneeled down and scooped up the box of sweets, settling it onto his shoulder with ease before letting one of his meaty mitts slip into his pocket and fish out a nice chunk of rock candy. The stone covered Goliath gave the candy a quick squeeze and caused it to break into a small handful of shards that he happily handed to each of the pint-sized pirates. [b][i]"Y'all get yer sweet tooth fix with these then load up the last few boxes, alright? Too easy!"[/i][/b] Clay said with a warm laugh as he stood back to his full staggering height and hauled the crate of sugars the rest of the way onto the ship, leaving the little group of tiny barbarians to fight over their newly awarded rock candy.

  It was hard not to notice Clay as he made his way around the ship, his towering size set aside the behemoth of a man filled the halls with a cacophony of off-key whistling that did little for the moods of the pixie workers that lugged the supplies alongside him. Despite all of the looks and small comments he spurred from the others, Clay was far too happy to pay them any of the mind he did have. He was about to set across the stars with a crew of honest people and make more money than he had ever seen before, what was not to be excited about? All this joyous energy was practically radiating off of the big lug as he helped lug round after round of supplies onto the ship, eventually seeming to have loaded the ship by himself as he constantly had to break up fights between the other ship hands with quick bribes of sweets.

  It was once the last of the cargo was safely accounted for and secured that Clay made his way to the deck and caught sight of the rest of his less vertically challenged crewmates, a wide grin planting itself on his stone face. [b][i]"Hey there y'all! Well, guess I should be sayin' ahoy now, right?"[/i][/b] The living mountain said with a hearty laugh and snort at his own joke before waving it off. [b][i]"But really just wanted to say can't wait to get this goin'. Ya seem like really fine folk."[/i][/b] Clay would say in a tone to dripped with genuine excitement before his eyes fell onto his new violet shaded leader. [b][i]"Oh I'm sorry Capin' probably should of told ya first, but all hands and supplies are secured and ready fer sailin'. Won't let it happen again."[/i][/b] The giant's tone would grow a little more formal as he took his hat off quickly and stood up a little more rigidly, it would seem that he was trying to make a good first impression.
