Nicka had silent tears in her eyes as the rejected sailors were thrown overboard. Some of the men had become friends to her, it pained her to know that they would not live.

Nicka was surprised by the fact that Cinnabar's captain was a woman. It was a rare sight, Nicka was sure of it. But what surprised her even more were the words that came from both her mouth and Cinnabar's. She didn't make any response to there words though not even with her face. She had been trained to not show any such reactions. She waited for Cinnabar to tell her and Amelia what to do.

Dizzy's eyes narrowed a bit, an eyebrow raised, but she nodded, finally. "Fine. I trust you, Cinnabar...but they must prove themselves and do good work, or they can join the rejects and their new...aquatic friends."

The areas around here were well-known shark territory...

Cinnabar nodded. "We have some barrels down in the basement that need transport...there are a lot of useful supplies down there. So, I would like some assistance in hauling up the kitchen goods..."

Dizzy nodded in response, strolling away and pushing two burly-looking sailors towards him. "There. Ah..." An idea seemed to strike her, and she turned towards Amelia and Nicka, a smug look on her face. "You two. If you want to gain more of my favor...and lessen the chance of meeting some toothy aquatic creatures...tell me where there is treasure stored. If there are secret locations, divulge those, as well. Tell me all that you know."

Nicka replied with out a moment to think about it. "I know were everything worth anything is located as well as all the hidden treasure is stored, and would be more then happy to show you, captain." She said only thinking of her safety, not wanting to fall to same fate as the rejected sailors. In that moment she forgot about protecting Amelia and only worried about herself, a very unusual thing for her. She was now worried that the captain would find Amelia unusual and force her over board.

When Nicka had told the captain that she would show her were everything was, Amelia looked up with shock. She didn't think that Nicka would ever betray her country, by fattening a pirates wallet. When she had lifted her face to look at Nicka she also showed it to the whole crew and the captain. When Nicka looked at Amelia she had a look of pure horror. All that ran through Nicka's mind was what if one of the former crew members rat her out.

Dizzy and her crew, most of which had grown up at sea, didn't seem to recognize Amelia. Dizzy grinned, patting Nicka on the shoulder. "Show me, then! I'll take note of everything."

Cinnabar, however, did recognize Amelia. Immediately, he cleared his throat. "I will head back down to the kitchen." He waved off the crew member near him. "I will come fetch you once we've filled the barrels to their full capacity."

Without another word, he gently grabbed Amelia's arm and took her down to the kitchen. He closed the door once they were inside, and took a deep breath. "Veil. You need something to use as a veil. You need to keep your face as well hidden as possible. Find something to use as a veil, for now."

Nicka started to show Dizzy every spot that hide anything in the pirates interest. It would take more then an hour to show her everything and Nicka planed on showing her everything that she could think off. She started out in the cargo room were many treasure lay out in the open, everything in there was gifts that Amelia was given upon her departure home, many from men that wanted her hand in marriage. The cargo room alone would take half an hour.

In the kitchen Amelia looked at Cinnabar and replied "there are veils in mine and Nicka's room." Amelia thought of the veils her and Nicka were forced to were in one of the many other countries that they had visited.

Dizzy had a nearly photographic memory. She took in everything with wonder and clapped Nicka on the shoulder. "I'll be sure you get something from this. A little something, for assisting me."

Cinnabar nodded. "Show me the way. Grab as many as you possibly can. If you have suitcases, for you and your friend, pack as much as you can. I'll help you carry what you need. Remember that as soon as everything important is off of this ship, Dizzy will burn it, and sink it. So, we need to get as many of your personal effects back to my room as possible. I won't let them keep two women down in the cells--this crew is rather rowdy--so we'll all have to fit in my room."

(Sorry I haven't responded I haven't had time too and my brain has been a little dead lately, sorry. The second I have time and the brain power to I promise you I will.)

((It's okay--take your time. ^^))
