Minerva had been hoping for positive feedback from Captain Beckett, so when he blew a kiss at her and Phia, she couldn't help but beam with delight. Snatching at the air, she played along with the pirate, grabbing ahold of his blown kiss and pressing it against her chest.

[Color=peru]“Dibs.”[/color] She said while side-eyeing Phia and adding a new strapping man to her roster of potentials. When returning her eyes forward, she listened intently to what her new piece of eye candy had to say to the crowd.

Hearing him make his selection had caused her eyes to dart over to Menzai, immediately. The two of them had not only been named first, but generalized and grouped together as the “two shifters.” And oh that look in Menzai’s eyes told her all she needed to know. [Color=peru][i]You dirty mutt, you. You added him to your roster as well![/i][/color] Minerva returned the deathly glare his way, fully understanding that both she and Menzai were competitors in their desires. Gritting her teeth in frustration, she nearly shouted a threat his way, but something else far more concerning grabbed her attention. 

In all honesty, it wasn’t [i]more[/i] concerning, but she just felt it should be. 

The words “pretty little Tiefling” were impossible to ignore, putting Arya in Minerva's sight. [Color=peru]“He picked her?”[/color] Minerva thought aloud, a look of confusion crossing her expression. [Color=peru][i]Can't compete with that… Just look at her.[/i][/color] And just like that, she gave up her pursuit of the pirate captain… but she'd keep the pirate captain on her roster in the event things changed. Sudden accidents did happen, after all. The pretty little Tiefling could suddenly slip on a wet rock, tumble down a jagged cliffside, plunge into unbelievably deep waters, and then the fish could eat her… slowly. That would definitely change things, of course, and Minerva calmly nodded to herself at the potential possibility.


Then came the nice show with the handkerchief, which only helped confirm Minerva's suspicions of how much control the three envoys knew they held. Despite her odd way of going about things, Minerva intentionally and unintentionally used it as a means to place herself in the best position for survival… and sometimes the survival of others. She considered meeting the Pirate Prince as the best option available in learning about where the ship had landed in the Principalities and about their current captors. Negotiations were never an option, so the best thing Minerva could manage was to simply the deadliest people tagged along with her while taking any unneeded attention off the already wounded Captain Cidralis. Phia of the Double-Wave was some kind of psychopath, and she very well knew Menzai was capable despite his injuries due to the hairstyle he sported along with what Wendel wrote about him in the journal. Having the Warforged and Tiefling were a plus, but she did wish she could get that Yuan Ti temptress to come since her kind was all about murdering and eating humanoids for the sake of whatever weird snake shit they believed in. 

[Color=peru][i]She probably has another angle. That or she happens to be deathly allergic to peaches, and I successfully killed her. Ha! I hope so, because THAT would be worth putting in the journal.[/i][/color] She thought casually as her wrists were bound behind her with rope.

[Color=peru]“A little tighter. My wrists are- ooh, that's perfect!”[/color] Minerva was quite impressed, complying to the entire ordeal as if she was going on a field trip.[hr]

Along the way to the unknown destination, Minerva positioned herself beside Arya of all people for only two reasons. TWO REASONS! The first was to ensure she would bear witness to the possibility of the wet rock scenario. It was far from likely, but she wouldn't be able to live down missing the moment if it occurred. The second reason was simply to make conversation with someone she hadn't spoken to yet.

[Color=peru]“Hey birdy, my name is Peaches Minerva, and I'm going to be… I'm going to be… hmm… I'm gonna talk to ya.”[/color] Minerva directed to Stella, the someone she wanted to have a conversation with. [Color=peru]“I think you and I have plenty in common. Sharp eyes, sexy yet deadly aura.”[/color] She bounced her eyebrows suggestively. [Color=peru]“I bet you have the other birds breaking their necks to look at those feathers of yours. And those talons! Sharp! Anyway, have you ever been to the Principalities?”[/color] And that's how it started… and didn't seem to end. Despite Stella never being able to answer her, Minerva continued to converse solely with the eagle. 

By the time the group started to slow as they reached the sight of their destination, Minerva was still going.

[Color=peru]“So… chicken. I love eating chicken, so is that a problem for you since we're best friends now? I mean chickens are birds and you're a bird… hmm, but you probably eat chickens too, right? Yeah! They're good right? White meat or dark meat? I personally enjoy dark meat. It's the snobby types that like the white meat more. It's healthier, sure, but it doesn't pack the same flavor. You know what I mean? Yeah, so what's your… Oh! Look, birdy, I think we made it!”[/color] Minerva pointed at the settlement hugging the shore with a pleasant smile on her sweat beaded face. She took in the view, wide-eyed and curious of what the shantytown had in store for them. It was a short gander, especially since Captain Beckett addressed the group.

[color=#1abc9c]“There are some rules we should discuss before the next phase of our fun little adventure…but first, I’m curious, any questions you might have had before or things you wish to know now…here’s your chance. I’ll be as true as a priest, but just this once.”[/color]

[Color=peru]“Ooh! Ooh! Um…”[/color] Minerva hadn't anticipated being able to ask Captain Beckett a question… so Menzai beat her to the punch. She glared at Menzai yet again. Only now did she realize why he still glared at her so menacingly during the trek. It was obvious! Just like her, the handsome pirate remained on his roster!

[color=ee82ed]“But, no, I suppose my curiosity is towards this lord prince of yours. What grand ambition does he hold to sway so many to his hidden kingdom?”[/color]

[Color=peru]“Borrrring.”[/color] Minerva commented with an eye-roll. [Color=peru]“My turn! What's your type, Captain Beckett?”[/color] Minerva winked. She knew this question would settle everything. While Menzai tried to use his nonchalantness to increase his level of attractiveness, Minerva pushed past him with a direct approach. [Color=peru]“Remember. ‘True as a priest.’”[/color] Minerva didn't even think about how she was now obviously looking at Menzai from the corner of her eye with far too much intensity for the current situation.

[I][color=peru]Take that Menzai! Take! That! Eat it! Stomach it! Digest it, you mutt! I'll be the winner![/color][/i]
