Hertha hummed thoughtfully as he replied to her statement. To his credit, he was not acting like some kind of pompous ass who continued to demand her pledge to be his crew member, but neither was he giving up on her. He did raise some good points. While she was familiar with sailing and even sometimes working with pirates, all be it in a limited capacity, she was unfamiliar with working on a pirate ship. It would be good experience, a stepping stone to greater things. He was making it clear that he wasn't asking for her warriors oath. He wanted someone strong and trustworthy to help him start from scratch, and he had the respect for her, it seemed, to let her go her own way. Still, joining the crew of an aimless captain wasn't quite how she pictured her start into piracy. Before he could finish his statement or she could give him a reply an explosion shook the deck. 

The red-headed giant turned to look in the direction of the commotion, wasn't every day a quite little dock was suddenly shook by a boom like that after all. A large man...in a marine uniform no less, and a lady with what appeared to be a long range gun. The Elbafin warrior sneered at the weapon, while she respected marksmen as a task requiring equal skill and practice as any warrior she didn't much like to be up against them. They tended to run away rather than clash head on, a troublesome tactic. She raised an eyebrow at Eden's rather dry and direct call to arms. She grinned widely "Aye, tis rude to not give a proper welcome to new comers." she replied sliding her sword back over her shoulder and standing up. 

She arrived shortly behind Eden, standing perhaps arms length away from the captain. her blade still rested in it's sheath on her shoulder, but her shield was now in place on her arm. The length of an average door, but perfectly round the sturdy defensive device looked as if it could with stand the blast of a small caliber cannon. She blinked at the sight of joh Ricden standing before her. "Red lighting, eh?" she said with what sounded like half a scoff "Why couldn't I get a name like that? My 'air is as red as it comes and I hit as hard as a thunda bolt. Why does everyone get a nice title but me?"
