A warm smile easily slid onto Sylvia's face, a short, soft laugh even parting her lips to let out a musical sound as she caught sight of Karlin dancing. Her facial expression was content and she watched her in an understanding manner for a moment before again turning her steady gaze to those that would be traveling on board. She wasn't as forward with her excitement, but a curious gleam lit her eye as she observed both the rest of the crew's expressions as well as the passengers boarding. Her smile kept a warm tone, but was playful, even sly as she noted the wide range of attitudes their guests seemed to have.
As their captain prepared to give his rendition of a tour, Sylvia would sigh softly to herself and slip once to and fro from the balls of her feet to her toes. She was restless already, not feeling quite right spending time near the docks as usual, though she knew it was necessary. Most of her life had not been spent on land, so she supposed she had to understand that for many it was the other way around-- yet her body was telling her it wanted to go home. She wanted to go out to sea again.
So as the captain dealt with the guests, she found herself slipping up along the stairway to make her way to the ship's stern. Leaning casually upon the railing once more, she let her eyes closed in a peaceful manner, her breath even and slow as she let herself slip into a sort of lull from the welcoming sound of the gentle waves. The sea seemed at peace and so was the small brunette.

Jasper rubbed the back of his head, rustling his small, once-neat ponytail a bit in the process. This would no doubt be exciting, but would it be troublesome? More people to look after, more pressure on him. He almost acted his age for once, his thoughts circling about calculatingly, though in a rambunctious manner. They danced around the fact that he may have more resonsibility for a bit before eventually skipping a beat as he looked over the passengers with interest. His carefree demeanor once again took shape as a broad smile lit the man's face. It would be an adventure regardless of the temporary additions to their crew.
His head turned as his gaze followed their captain with their passengers, then trailing over Leah. The slightest of pouts drowned his happiness in the worst manner. "'Ey, what's the fuss?" he asked casually, looking over at her in a curious manner now, his eyes wide and naive as a child's could be in this situation.
