The arrival of familiar faces brought a light grin to Maddox's face. Though he sat at a table somewhat out of the way, he figured he could bother them eventually. He hadn't seen them in months, after all. But before anything else could happen, Lazarus approached Sasha and received a tongue-lashing in return. For a moment, the red-haired mage was dumbfounded and his cigarette almost fell out of his mouth. Then he realized it. "She's the teammate you were talking about, eh?" Maddox mumbled, not nearly loud enough for Lazarus to hear him. He thought about it for a second before chuckling. "Interesting." The ladies-man and the Ice Princess working as a team. The thought was entertaining. Then again, not like I'm one to judge. I don't even operate in a team, Maddox thought to himself, closing his eyes as he leaned the chair back onto two legs and put his boots up on the table.

Are you alright now? Getting hospitalized usually isn't that good.

Before Maddox could pick on Lazarus any further, Sho stepped up to Minerva's challenge. The grin vanished from the red-haired mage's face, before he let out a sigh. "Would you look at that," he noted aloud. "A match made in heaven." The grin returned and he chuckled, before taking a drag on his cigarette. After letting out some smoke, he looked at the two potential fighters. "You can fight indoors all you want as long as you don't use magic. Tables and chairs are easy to replace, walls are not. You understand what I'm trying to say?" Though he didn't plan on babying either of them or performing as some sort of referee, he had to establish some ground rules since they were both at least somewhat new to Phoenix Wing. "Be careful about the others around you. If you accidentally hurt them, you kinda deserve to get ganged up on."

I apologize for the delay, but I have now posted. Hopefully I shouldn't be having any more problems.

Summer glared at Varren for a moment, before letting out an exasperated sigh. "Of course he would be letting the Crucible know we're here..." she muttered to herself, pinching the top of her nose as she closed her eyes. "Of course he would..." After another sigh, she removed her hand from her face and looked at the new group coming in. They were all young, and one appeared to be a Rift Hunter. Another, however, happened to be a mechanic. For a moment, Summer was elated and a grin formed on her face. But upon his criticism over maintaining the ship, her scowl returned.

"I have been keeping this ship running for nearly fifteen years!" Summer began to shout at Isaac as he was led to the engine room. "This baby is just a bit old and my magic touch didn't seem to work this morning! Don't you tell me how to run my ship!" With that fit of anger out of her system, she let out another sigh. Down below, just boarding the ship, Aubrey could hear the yelling above. He glanced at Emery for a moment. She was clearly frightened by the turn of events. And in all honesty, Aubrey was a bit scared too. For all he knew, this could be a pirate ship. The woman in charge didn't exactly sound friendly and the man that escorted them to the ship was not only armed but willing to kill.

"I don't know, Emery," he confessed. "If we aren't allowed on for free, I've got us covered. I have some money in my back pocket. But even then..." He began heading to the top deck, likely with Emery in tow. "I'm not getting a good feeling about this at all." Before the duo could even make it to the top deck, Aubrey felt someone else grab onto him. Looking down, there was suddenly a kid behind him, asking about a hiding place and getting on board. Due to the fact the captain was busy yelling at Isaac, she must've not noticed this boy approach. "Uh... Yeah, we're getting on the ship," Aubrey answered first. "But hurry up and get on. We won't have much time." With that out of the way, Aubrey led the others up the ramp and then the stairs to the top deck.

On the top deck, Summer was simply leaning against the side-rail, with her forehead pressed against the metal. Though somewhat comical in appearance, Aubrey already assumed she was boiling mad for some reason or another and was performing some odd ritual of calming herself down. He first looked at Emery, then at Benny, before scanning the rest of the deck. The ship was large and open, but he was surprised by the lack of activity. A ship this large, he would assume it had a massive crew. But so far as he could tell, there couldn't be more than six or seven crew members. "Uh... hi," Aubrey tried to introduce himself to the captain, but it seemed that the green-haired woman ignored him. "Thank you... for letting us on board." Summer glanced up at him now, before putting her head against the rail again. "Yeah, yeah. Weapons on the floor, no funny business." Once again, Aubrey was surprised by her reaction. "Money in hand, too."

His prediction was correct. They would be charged. These people had to be pirates, or criminals of some kind. Clearly they weren't heroes. Heroes wouldn't charge people for their safety. With a grimace, Aubrey reached into his pocket and pulled out the wad of cash. But he didn't say anything to the captain. He simply turned around to face Benny and Emery. "I can cover us, and Isaac too."

I'm sorry. I've been busy with job hunting the past few days. I finally secured a job and have to jump through several more hoops. But I shall post!
