((I am very sorry for the wait, everyone. Things haven't been so great by me and a few other things were grabbing at my attention and inspiration. But, we are back in business again!))

Heiro glanced over to Tal as he rushed to light the lanterns, one brow slightly raised and lips tight to show he did not approve of his lack of punctuality. Every little detail he put into this show had a part in the influencing of the potential patrons, and he had thought he made that very clear. Still, he couldn't expect it to go without some kind of bump along the way, pirates lead a life of uncertainty and with the natures of at least half the crew, he had come to expect strange happenings. He still prayed to the goddess that nothing too extreme happened for at least the first part of this voyage.

Looking back to the small group of rich port-folk as Lady Shay spoke up excitedly, then hid behind her personal guard. He couldn't help but smile at her, amusement clear under the charming, polite front. "That is good to hear." He said before holding his hand out for the leather case that Nereus held. Once he got the Tempest's paper's back, he tucked the case into his sash and began his partially rehearsed presentation just as Priscilla's father joined the rest of them.

"As some of you have already explored, the Tempest is well tended and clear of unnecessary clutter, with both safety and function in mind. On the voyage I would encourage you to be above deck, in the fresh air and sunlight as much as you can." He said, stepping aside to allow the guests another clear view of the ship's main deck. He then turned and walked past them to the brass-railed steps that lead to the aft- or poop-deck. When he was sure they were following, he walked up the solid steps with barely a sound, then stood to the side at the top, allowing them to walk past him and explore the ship's helm and the displayed navigational tools.

"On top of our ...natural sense of direction at sea," He said, the smile twisting into a small smirk for a few seconds. "We use the finest tools available to be sure we are exactly where we need to be." He explained, folding his hands behind his back as he gave them the time they needed to examine everything and ask questions.
