A loud and invasive knocking could be heard in the common area below deck, surely disturbing to any who were trying to sleep. "I DEMAND to speak to the captain, RIGHT this instant!" Sir Landon's hostile voice rose above all else, as the banging on the door of the captain's quarters continued.

Finally the door opened and the captain stood there, ever-tolerant with a courteous smile. "Sir Landon. Is something the matter?"

Sucking in a hiss through his teeth, the nobleman grabbed the captain by the collar, his eyes bulging with anger. "YES, something is the MATTER! The conditions on this ship are BEYOND HORRENDOUS! I have NEVER in my life been subjected to such inhospitable FARCE!" He continued without even a slight pause, the captain helpless but to endure his words. "Did you know the ship has diseased rats running about the dining area!? One attacked me and nearly gnawed off my hand if it wasn't for my agile reflexes. And your crew dared to mock me and assert that I imagined the whole thing! Absolutely outrageous! I will speak to Lilly and she will attest to my statements! Tell me what cabin she is in, right now!"

The captain's hands were raised as he tried to patiently calm down the nobleman. "Okay, just slow down a bit my lord, now who is it that you're looking for? Lilly?... I'm not sure if we have someone by that name on board--"

"Lilly de Rochechouart de Mortemart!" he yelled, shakily tugging on the captain's collars. "The blonde woman in the yellow dress! Yolande's cousin! She had a dark-haired servant girl with her!" Sir Landon looked more desperate by the moment, meanwhile the captain could only give him an earnestly confused look.

"I-I'm sorry sir, but I don't know if we have any such characters on board... are you perhaps... feeling alright?..." the captain looked at Landon with genuine concern, as the nobleman let out a frustrated growl.

"Don't you DARE look at me like that! I SPOKE with the woman MINUTES AGO! We were having TEA! I did NOT [i]imagine[/i] her, OR that huge rabid RAT!"

Shoving the captain aside, he stomped towards the cabins, banging on them loudly one by one. "LILLY! WHERE ARE YOU!? COME OUT RIGHT NOW!"

The nearby crewmates and passengers had to glance his way and watch with concerned amusement as 'Lilly' was nowhere to be found.
