Kire was about to answer Ysaryn’s question when she sensed a familiar signature. [i]Cinnamon.[/i] Her mouth twitched into a wide grin for a brief moment. She turned in time to see Ruli, his hair a different kind of unruly now that it had grown out a bit longer. Narda waited for Kire to speak and make introductions, but the Wyvern seemed to have forgotten that she hadn’t said anything yet. The giantess nudged her with her foot. “Oh. Right.” She cleared her throat. “Yeah, I’m back,” Kire said, rubbing her nape. “Ruli, this is Narda. She’s one of my pirate friends. Well sort of. She’s a countess first before we met the rest of the crew. I’m surprised she didn’t sink the ship when she first jumped on it.” 
“Your ego is heavier than I ever will be,” Narda retorted, before turning to the newcomer. “Ruli, eh? My pleasure,” Narda replied, though her eyes looked at him appraisingly. “Hm.” She turned to Kire, who was looking up at Ruli with what seemed to the giantess a puzzled look. “Kay.”
“Huh? Right. Want dinner? There’s dinner,” Kire said, pointing to their catch, then standing up. “Be right back, just going to get something.” Narda’s gaze followed her friend as she left the kitchen to go to Envy’s room. Gavin, too, was looking at Kire, puzzled at her absentmindedness. 

Kire stepped into the main chamber to see Envy and Zeke talking with each other. “Hello, Zeke,” she greeted, not quite sure how the man would react to her return. “Envy, I’ll just go get something in your room for a moment.” She returned to the kitchen not too long after. “Zeke’s back too, I saw,” she commented.
“’Zeke’? Which one is that again?” Narda asked. Kire rolled her eyes, then turned to Ruli, holding out something to him.
“I know you can handle yourself without weapons, but—yeah. That one’s for you.” She handed him a short sabre. Gavin, in the middle of stuffing his face, ogled the well-made blade. 
“That is a [i]lot[/i] nicer than the knife you gave me,” he pointed out. 
“Well, you’re not getting one,” Kire commented. The sabre’s hilt and sheath had the Wyvern insignia on it. “Consider it payment for breaking your bow,” she said, a small smile on her face. Narda looked between the two of them, humming in thought.
