A young woman was in the market district of Tortuga carrying a basket on her arm. She wore a blue dress with a black corset up to her developed bosom. Her head was down and her hair tried to cover the elven ears that would bring attention to her. The woman looked at the list she carried and made sure that the boy beside her was keeping up as he carried a bushel of potatoes. "Belle, these are heavy. How much more do we need?" The blonde boy whined as he looked up at his sister while carrying the heavy bushel. "Rel, don't complain. We are lucky to be doing this. The captain doesn't like us being off the ship."

Belle was a fast runner but was barely losing the pirates in the crowd.
Rel ran towards the ship and blushed as he saw the captain at the dock with a woman whose shirt was unbuttoned. "Captain..."
