The Noblemen was sitting at a table silently, It has been a few hours since he was pressured into joining the pirate band, not that he had many other options it was that or he get a dead end job and most likely be forced to live out on the streets, but he was suddenly taken out of his self pity and complaining by the ever confident and commanding voice of the ship's captain, her slithering into the room a bit as she smirked. “Hey Alkar..Arnor ?” The Noble groaned as he stands and moved his stuff to the side of the desk and turned to her, he was still in his noble robes arms crossed over his chest as he rolled his eyes running a hand down his slowly stubbling chin,
“Its pronounced Alastair.” he was almost kicking himself with how snobby that sounded before she started chuckling gently and turned her telling him to follow as she slithered off, he sighed and followed through the ship avoiding bumping into the many faces and different races from some orcs to dwarfs and then when the two go onto deck he froze in amazement, the deck of the ship was pretty large with a massive amount of crew working around and as slithra kept moving he walked over towards the edge of the ship and looked over it, he had never been in a airship before and the view was amazing, The Rolling hills of green and trees, a full spectrum of colors as far as the eyes can see, in the distance the massive camps of the Lamias living in the sea of sands and death of the Valorious Desert all the way to the mystical hills of the Dwarfs homeland it was almost mystical the smell of the open air assaulting his senses as her let out a sigh feeling, content for once in a long time but as he turned he was now face to face with a male figure, the figure had quite a handsome complexion with a face as smooth as silk, his skin was dark and his ears pointed, his kind someone of a Rarity, a Dark Elf to put it simply and one of the biggest grins he had ever seen, “Well Hello There”
The Sudden Intrusion on his personal space would of made the noble leap back if, well the next place he was leaping wasn't a castle battlements drop away and so he let out a muffled yelp like a stray dog that had just been kicked before he growled and clenched his hands into fists. “Do you mind ?” he glares down the figure who just walked to his side and jumped onto the side of the ship holding onto the ropes connecting to the massive air balloon keeping the wooden galley afloat in the air as he smirked and looked out onto the vast landscape before turning to Alastair and smirked, “Sooo, You're one of those Red Nobles or something ?” Alastair was about to respond before he heard Slithras voice ringing out,
“Gorin ! Stop being a pixie and get over here ! The new guy needs to meet the rest of the crew !” a shade of pink went to the scoundrel of a dark elf as he mumbles in a tounge exotic and strange with many movements of his tongue before he walked towards where slithraa had a table set up and a few figures circling it. Alastair walked up and glanced around, all eyes were on him before slithraa slammed down her hands on the table and smiled, “Ladys, Gentlemen, In Betweens” The last part confused Alastair but the others seem to be used to it, “We are gathered here because i have brought aboard a new crew member as you might of guessed..and some are already getting familiar with.” She scowled at Gorin the dark elf smirked and shrugged as he leaned back and rolled around a coin in his hand snickering, A female dark elf looking a bit like him beside him scowled and rubs on the bridge of her nose as she groaned out, “Brother” making Gorin laugh, before slithraa talked to Alastair directly,
“So Alas” She smirked at the shorting of his name before she looked up to the massive half minotaur beside her, the same one who had “Retrieved” him for slithraa the guy looked like he was in his late 30s, he had dark black beard and reclining hair his face had a almost valorous look to it, something you would of when you think of warrior, Alastair was confused if the man ever got out of that large armour and the silence made him feel a bit awkward before slithraa spoke again, “This hunk of muscle right here ! is Oisin, he doesn't talk much but this guy right here is someone you go to when one of the crew is giving you trouble, or you're looking for one hell of a arm wrestling match” This spouted a light chuckle from the crew until a gentle voice,elegant and caring, but still well spoken came from the other side of the table spoke out,
“He is also not allowed to have chocolate” Oisin blushed a light pink on his cheeks as he held his face, the dark elf women from before looked up, she much like her brother was quite the looked, elegant but still had that roguish look to her, she had her hair tied up in two ponytails down one above the other, her hair flowing like a black stream her eyes a gentle purple, but it seemed to hold a lot of worry for the crew, slithraa interjected his thoughts as she smirked, “And this right here. Is that little troublemakers sister, and ships resident doctor. “Galash, or Gal, Either works she doesn't mind much, you got something wrong or a limb missing you go to her.”
Gorin sits up with a smug look on his face ready to be introduced again but slithraa ignored him and she grabs onto something beside her and pulled it, then seemingly from nothing comes a figure, they had pale skin and seemed human but something seemed off, there hair was white and short, there frame and face it was nearly impossible to tell what they were as they looked to slithraa worried but she smiled, “This.. well… he or she doesn't really have a name, I call em honey since i found them being chased by Lamian Bees,” She smirked and whispers to the figure who nods and then backed up and hugged into their robes and soon when they came out, Alastair was taken back, this thing looked just like him and he could tell the others were smirking at the look of surprise on his face before he laughed and leaned on the table, “That is amazing !” it was weird seeing himself blush over well, himself but she he,, it quickly changed back to its inbetween frame it staring at him and waving
Slithraa smirked as she sprawled out her arms and grinned, “Then you got me, the ever elegant, roguishly handsome captain of his vessel !” she smirked before shaking her head then sighing and leaning on the table. “Alright alright, I think that's all the important names you should know the rest of you can go, but you Alas, I want to have a few words.” The others walked off, some offering him a faint hello or a nod as they went back to work, slithraa whispering to her shape shifting friend who nodded and went back invisible and scampered off silent as a mouse,
Alastair pulled up one of the chairs and sat down slithraa just sitting down on her tail the two sitting in silence for a moment before she takes out two glasses and the smile just grows on Alastair quicker then someone's regret for mixing up a leaf with poison ivy and before he knew it, he was having a conversation with her about the strangest of things, a glass of whiskey in his hands as he leaned beside the half snake captain her one some rant about how her favourite knife was stolen by a leprechaun or something he lost track after the third glass but after she finished her rant her sudden question snapped him out of it, “Sooo what's your story”
Alastair was frozen not in fear or regret but in thought, what was his story, was it strange to be exiled in his position and so he just let off a gentle shrug, “Me ?..I am a Nobleman's son, the son of a noble man who married a whore hungry for power who convinced said sons father that his “Alcoholic unproductive bastard of a son didn't deserve to be here” my father didn't listen at first, but then she faked it like I assaulted her ! just to get me exiled out of my own family !..now her and her thugs are hunting me down to close up loose ends” Slithraa raised a eyebrow her looking at the half empty bottle beside Alastair her only half done her first glass as he lowered it and nodded,
“That is one hell of a mouthful.” she let out a gentle chuckle and quick quip but a good bit away Gorin was sitting on the railings beside the controls of the airship, watching the captain drinking with the new guy, beside him working on some barrels was a goblin her humming as she looked up at him and groaned leaning on the railing looking up at the dark elf. “Man, are you chasing another one ? first it was that orc that came on board that you thought “was such a hunk” and now you're going after the new guy,, you're just going to get yourself hurt again” Gorin sighed as he turned to her and smiled, “Well.. I am just in this for the journey.. I have lived so many lives.. So many changes and decisions.. And i have never found one thing.. One thing i always wanted….love and who knows...it could be around any corner”
