The mechanic, bosun, quartermaster, and navigator all appeared to be vying for her attention as they prepped to get under way. An amused smile worked it's way onto his face as he watched her address each of them, this was certainly going to be an interesting group of people to work with. They seemed reliable enough, judging by the fact that they all seemed to be providing assurances that the entire ship was prepped for setting sail. He took a moment to ponder about the member of the crew he could see: the quartermaster seemed calm enough, which would be a good balance to the more...eccentric types on the ship. Their dwarven mechanic appeared to be an interesting character, and he figured that he'd probably need to work with him on their cannons; that'd be an interesting conversation judging by the quiet ramblings he'd heard. He wasn't even sure he'd be able to understand half the things that he said. Their unique looking bosun seemed to have a way with the small powder monkeys, despite their obvious size difference. Though being made of stone probably had its benefits against their tiny, sharp teeth. He'd never met a dryad before, so actually getting to know their navigator should prove to be an enlightening experience. If he could keep up with her rapid speech. He certainly looked forward to getting to know all the members of the crew better. It had been quite some time since he'd actually joined a crew he wanted to be on. His meandering thoughts were cut off at the shout from the Captain. The excitement he'd felt before kicking back up as the crew began to rush around and do as she said. He kept a close eye on the goings on, making sure that no one got caught underfoot and none of them needed any aid in prepping to set off. The pixies were surprisingly quick and efficient when it came to all of these things. He moved to stand at the base of the stairs just in case one of them needed something. He hoped they didn't need his particular brand of help, since that mostly involved hitting something with a sword or cannon balls, but you never know. He glanced up towards the Captain and gave her a nod and a sharp-toothed grin as the sails unfurled and the anchors were drawn up.

He trotted over to and carefully made his way up the stairs to the helm, hooves clopping across the wooden boards of the deck. He took a spot among the group, standing significantly taller than most of the crew surrounding them, except for the genasi. [color=00aeef][b]"Med-bay is prepped for anything Captain,"[/b][/color] he directed towards the tiefling at the helm, [color=00aeef][b]"Hopefully we don't need it anytime soon."[/b][/color] He quickly took in the nearby pixie that appeared to be high as the tips of their sails along with their mechanic, and shook his head slightly with both amusement and exasperation. He gave a polite nod to the other members of the crew that were still gathered nearby. Once they were under way he was sure they would have some time to sit down and get to know each other a bit more. The clattering and clanking noises of the sails unfurling, the anchors rising, and the gangplank being stowed were music to his ears. It'd been some time since he'd had the chance to travel by ship and the prospect of doing so with such an interesting group of people had him smiling brightly towards the stars. The sails catching and billowing outwards forced him to plant his feet more firmly on the deck, if only for a moment, as the movement evened out. He was excited to see what new adventures awaited them among the unexplored parts of the universe.
