she looked at Non'yu and loosened her grip and wiped away the tears.

Agoni`s glare softened as he watched them "Im sorry Dusk but its my job" he said softly in a more caring tone "If I become lenient it would put Adrian under a lot of stress.... and we dont need that do we" he took a step closer touching his sisters soft red hair "Maybe later we can continue our lessons" he said smiling.

Dusk nodded looking up at Agoni and smiled holding Non'yu`s hand much more gently then before

Non'yu tried to stay out of the way while Dusk and Agoni were having their brother-sister conversation. He also tried not to listen in on it too much so that he didn't seem like a nosy person but it was kind of tough since he was right there next to them. He looked at the ocean and then at Agoni and then at Dusk and then at the ocean all over again.

Agoni walked away leaving the two alone, he walked in to Adrian`s quarters and sat on a stool slightly glaring at elli. "Dont you have work to be done women..." (sorry though i am a girl i know how to play a sexist jerk)

Dusk released his hand and sat where they were standing, she reached in to her pouch and pulled out the jade ocarina she rested it against her lips, closing her eyes she played a sweet melody which almost sounded like a love song the ocarina sounded like a flute it was a beautiful piece of art.

Non'yu sat down, next to Dusk slowly and listened to the tune she was playing. He had his knees raised to his chest with his ankles crossed while his hand wrapped around his legs and were locked together. He always sat tilted forward a little so that the swords on his back didn't touch the ground, his gun was far enough to his left so that he didn't sit on it. Non'yu rested his head on his knees and looked at Dusk as she played her music.

Dusk slowly opened her eyes looking over at Non'yu and smiled as she played she was almost in a trace as her fingers danced across the ocarina (gah i wanna play my ocarina now grrrrrr >.< and paint!!!!)

Hearing his first mates opinion on his extended conversation with the ship's magician Adrian had to shake his head some. "I would listen to him and go prepare for the raid." He told her before looking back at the giant of a man he had taken on as his first mate. It was true that he could be intimidating, but he was also loyal which made Agoni a perfect fit as first mate. The fact that the Captain was dwarfed by his size. Despite that he had no problem in turning and crossing his arms, clearly unhappy. While women were easily disrespected off the ships and in some cases even on it, it was not something he usually did. Adrian had worked with many disguised sailors in his time as a legal sailor which was why he allowed them to walk undisguised on his ship and do work normally set aside for men. "Was that really necessary Agoni?"

Agoni grinned "I mostly just wanted her to leave so we could talk....my sister has a fondness for one of the sailors.... I wanted you to tell me your thoughts on the boy...." he leaned back in the chair making himself comfortable.

Sorry we just kinda kicked you out skykitty. : / Feel free to spontaneously interupt whenever you show up again ))
The brown haired captain nodded some, indicating that he should continue. He was interested in knowing who she had taken a fancy to. There were a few options he could see her being attracted to. Ten again so long as it was not him he was thrilled and it showed as he sat down in the chair behind his desk.

He looked at him "what do you think of Non'yu..." he asked harshly trying not to sound mean towards his friend

"The elf?" Adrian asked, only mild surprise in his voice as he thought about it. "He's a hard worker. Not to stubborn and usually does what I ask of him without me even asking it." He paused and let out a brief sigh. "He came on looking for an adventure he can't really handle. Not too much of an aggressive pirate. Not much of a fighter either so you would still have to look out for your sister. Not that you would ever stop, hm?" With that said Adrian made a quick annotation on the map in front of him with his quill.

he looked over at him "even if he cant protect her, she will most likely go black and end up protecting him..." he stretched puting his hands behind his head.

Dusk looked at Non'yu as she stopped playing her ocarina "im so excited for the raid arnt you?" she said smiling at him

Non'yu shifted a little. "Yes, I am." A chance to prove himself to the crew as a swordsmen is always exciting in his eyes. He put the back of his head to the handle of the swords he carried on his back. "I do hope that you stay safe during the raid, Dusk." He worried too much about people, especially under these consequences. Non'yu butted heads with the handle of his swords again, this time a little harder but not too much.

She looked up at him "I will be fine... i promise, and if not you and Agoni will protect me" she said smiling as she gently touched his hand "Ive never been hurt in a raid yet..."

Non'yu was happy to hear that she was experienced enough so that she didn't get hurt. "That's good." He felt the adrenaline get him early, he was excited for a chance to go on a raid. He then realized something and stood up. "You'll have to excuse me but I must ask something of the Captain. It's very important." He gave Dusk a hand to get her on her feet.

She smiled and took his hand she stood and followed him to the captain room

Non'yu walked into the Captains room, bowed his head politely and then saluted to show respect. "Captain, I have to ask." He paused for a second to make the moment more serious then it had to be. "Will we be taking any prisoners on the up coming raid?" Non'yu asked, looking straight at the Captain. He hoped that the Captain understood if Non'yu would have to take a life or not during the raid.

Agoni looked at Non'yu "well speak of the devil" she said chuckling then looking at the door seeing Dusk he waved at her.

Dusk smiled seeing Agoni and practically skipped over to him "hello big brother she said softly as to not interrupt Non'yu

As Non'yu walked in the quill twitched some, moving momentarily from it's course along the paper and causing Adrian to look up somewhat irritably at the two crew mates. "Funny how that works, is it not?" He stated in response to Agoni before setting down the writing utensil and leaning back to survey the two crew mates. They weren't a bad looking couple, just a bit odd. "If you're that worried about the killing, Non'yu, then I can put you in the back lines. I'd rather take as few prisoners as possible. Of course, I might have a chat with the good captain of the ship we're raiding to find out some news but afterwards..." In a rarely seen sign of how merciless he could be the Captain pulled out one of the unloaded flintlocks and dry fired it towards the wall. It was meant to be a threatening gesture and he hoped it came across that way.

Agoni put his much smaller sister on his lap and chuckled as he held dusk like a child "Lets put dusk at the front... Those bastards wont even see whats coming" he grinned knowing full well what this small girl was capable of

Dusk squirmed around "Dont put me in the front!!!" she protested trying to get back to Non'yu.

Non'yu nodded lightly, acknowledging that he understood what the captain wanted and saluted. "Kill everyone but the Captain then, sir?" He asked to make sure. Non'yu wasn't scarred of the killing, he just didn't want to get in trouble for it. He wanted everything to go off without a hitch and just wanted to make sure of what he had to do. Non'yu backed out of the room and walked away after he had tilted his head to show his respect. Non'yu sat on the deck and commenced by thoroughly checking his flintlock for possibilities of back firing.

Dusk finally broke out of Agoni`s grip and followed Non'yu as she waved to andrian and Agoni as she left the room.

Agoni grinned looking at Adrian "see.... she follows him like a lost puppy.... its kind of cute he chuckled.

Non'yu flicked his flintlock back and forth in his hand. He aim up at certain small objects making sure that he could aim but he didn't fire. He put his gun back and reached for his broad swords. The handles were halved so that it stayed as one when gripped tightly but when you loosened you grip they were two full length broad sword as they were meant to be used. Non'yu pulled the blades out. They were a quarter of an inch thick together and still sort of dirty. Non'yu looked back as Dusk came over and cleaned the blades up as much as he could with his clothes. He rubbed the blood to make it dry or come off and it was done, it looked like dried blood stains on his sleeves and shirt.

Dusk smiled softly at Non'yu "He can be so cruel... putting his little sister at the front of the line..." she looked at the stains.

Adrian watched them leave before returning to charting the path. He had nearly finished it and was just factoring in the tides and currents winds hitting the sails. "I'm not so certain I would use the word cute. Or that I would put her at the front lines. The ship we'll be raiding today should have a few rifles on board. It's one of the noble's trading ships and they are all too aware of our sea presence." He smirked some and looked over. "Of course, we could just get rid of some of our more useless stuff on board and hit them with a volley of grapeshot."

Agoni looked at him "Adrian you know i would never throw Dusk out on the front lines like that.... she is all i have..." as for the volly it sounds good to me... I will tell the crew to start gather at once he said as he stood.
