I'm between Berserker or Rider for Estelle right now.

So, both of you, fight for the right to be Estelle's Servant.

Erm...

Well, like I said, their personalities seem to mesh well. They're both cocky and love to show off their talent and abilities. Physically, they couldn't be more different, however, which I find makes for an interesting contrast. :3

The old woman had indeed seen through his disguise, though she hadn't said a word. She, frankly, had enough trouble to deal with. Apparently there was a thief previously in their midst, and she had a good idea as to whom it was. "This island's under the watch of Greenwell, but he ain't scheduled to be back here for about two weeks."

Each of the Rainbow Raiders made their respective rounds on a monthly basis, after all. Having a set schedule allowed the townspeople to more easily gather the necessary beli to pay the "tax". "If you're here for the reason I think you are, then you'll be waiting for quite a while."

One Piece: The Blackfin Chronicles

Siobhan seemed to be putting quite a number of outfits over her arm, with the question of payment once again hanging in the air at this point. She didn't appear to be particularly worried about that, however. Instead, she disappeared into one of the dressing room for the next thirty minutes or so...

---

"Hey, my money's missing too!" One of the other men at the bar noted. This was followed by a chorus of other patrons stretching from where Siobhan had been sitting, all the way to the door. This served to distract the old woman from the trouble brewing at the table, which continued to escalate without interruption.

---

"That should cover it, right?" Siobhan grinned to Mable, who gleefully smiled at the bag of beli.

"Of course, miss! Just let me bag these for you!"

Joyfully rocking on her heels while the outfits were placed into a sack, Siobhan offered an oddly self-satisfied thumbs up to Jones.

"I've bought clothes before," Siobhan clarified, "but it's mostly just to have somethin' to wear. I haven't gotten the chance to just do it for fun's what I meant, like."

Moving past Mabel even as she tried to recommend several articles of clothing Siobhan had little interest in, the redhead took a blue tank top from a nearby rack, appraising it with a smile. There wasn't a lot of space on their little trawler for outfits, but once they had a proper ship, she would be able to really diversify her wardrobe!

"I hope Eadgar is doin' well for himself at the tavern," she muttered, now parsing through the available shorts.

One Piece: The Blackfin Chronicles

"Shoppin'!" Siobhan thrust her fists in the air, a broad grin etched across her face. "I haven't had the chance to go shoppin' since I was a wee brat."

The streets of Cathymnia were quite busy, with streams of people heading in both directions on opposite sides. It was clear that it had been some time since they had suffered any sort of raid or large-scale misfortune, given the more or less relaxed atmosphere in comparison with the previous two towns they had visited.

Her eyes darting between the various stores available in their immediate vicinity, Siobhan quickly made a b-line for a clothing store, despite having just eaten. "Here, here! I want somethin' cute to wear when we meet Taimi!"

Pushing through the fine wooden doorway of the store, a small bell above the door heralded Siobhan's entrance. Almost immediately a middle-aged woman stepped forward to present the pirate with a clearly practiced smile. "Welcome to Mable's Fashion Boutique, I'm Mable Freebird, My, what a lovely young lady you are! And quite tall as well, if I might add!"

"Em...right. I was hopin' to find maybe some cute shorts, or somethin'?" Siobhan muttered, somewhat put off by her clearly rehearsed routine.

One Piece: The Blackfin Chronicles

"Nope, never been here before," Siobhan quickly replied, downing the last of her food. There were now many stacks of plates lining the counter in front of her, and the old woman didn't hesitate to come collect her payment. Perhaps surprisingly, Siobhan quickly dropped a brown sack of beli coins in her hand. "There ya go, ma'am. That should cover it!"

Weighing the bag in her hand with a mixture of surprise and suspicion, the old woman nevertheless accepted it with a terse nod. "Alright then."

Sliding off the bar stool, Siobhan slowly walked past her doctor. When she passed by his ear, she whispered; "Ya might want to get out of here, since they know you're with me."

Eadgar should be fine gambling, since he hadn't tipped them off to their connection.

"I don't know," she replied. "I never wanted to. I was just glad when he left."

Siobhan, by that point, had regained enough focus to take a brief pause from her eating. Glancing over to her doctor, she offered him a gentle smile. "Don't fret too much over it. There's lots of other places around town where we can find information about her. I doubt she'll be goin' anywhere, in fairness."

"Besides, I think I'll go shopping after this!"

One Piece: The Blackfin Chronicles

Despite being the topic of conversation for that brief moment, Siobhan took little notice. She was entirely too focused on wolfing down her food at alarming rates. While they had had fish earlier, this was the first non-seafood she had been able to enjoy for a number of days. Seeming to also ignore the ravenous girl, the old woman released a bitter laugh.

"Shipwright? Ridiculous," she spat. "The Taitale's are only good at causing destruction. Anything that lot builds for you will only lead to your end. We ran her crazy old man off this island for that reason."

Shaking her head, she turned away from and began cleaning another glass. "Take my advice: stay far away from them. Nothing good ever comes out of that family."
