Ravarie looks to Sorrith to gage any reaction he might have before she looks back a Lalora. "So, before that, we weren't really friends then, were we?" She asks.

'Well, I am not the one who decide it, but yes, in those dark times, I believe, diplomacy is worth paying for,'

Ravarie Sorrith largely looks uncomfortable, like he would prefer a change of subject or to end the conversation completely.
Lalora replies, "Of course not. Why would I be friends with the help?"
Hunner Serinda nods. "Well, if you can make it happen, I'm willing to consider it."

"Then why pretend?" Ravarie asks. "If I was just "the help", then why treat me otherwise?" Once again, while she did appear to be hurt, she seemed to be asking out of curiosity more than hurt or anger. More than ever though, she had to wonder why she bothered to go through any trouble to help people when they were this way. Sorrith is or was (Ravarie isn't even quite sure anymore) attracted to her, but he lied to his sister about the whole thing, placing the blame solely on Ravarie because...admitting that he was attracted to a Kagonesti would bring shame upon him. She couldn't help but wonder if he could even admit it to himself. If he could, then keeping it a secret didn't appear to be killing him. If anything, he probably found the whole thing tantalizing. The more she thought about it, the more it reminded of her past, and why she left to be alone with the animals in the first place. Friendship and love weren't real things. People just pretend until they get what they want or they give up.

"I've never pretended anything," Lalora retorts. "You're the one who has ruined our lives--something you can't even bring yourself to apologize for--all because our mother was naive enough to try and help you."

"I haven't..." Ravarie pauses in her words as she thinks over the past week. She had spent so much time alone, giving these two space, and processing everything that had happened that she didn't apologize. It was one of the things she wanted to do, and yet she still hadn't done it. "You're right," she finally says. "I originally came down here to check up on you two, and to offer my apology. I have spent the past week in prayer and meditation, trying to find the right words to say, but in the end there aren't really right words to say," she says. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that my actions have thrown the both of you down the path of the unknown as dark elves," she says sincerely. "If there is a way to make it up to the both of you, then I'll do it."

The two siblings share a look of surprise, as if neither had expected her to own up to it. "We...appreciate that," Sorrith says.
"Don't know if it's even possible to make up for it, but...we'll keep the offer in mind," Lalora adds.

Ravarie isn't really sure what to say now, so she decides to excuse herself. "Well, uh, I'll leave now," she says then turns to leave to head back on deck.

Hunner nod. "Very well. Even if I couldn't regain my honor, maybe I would be of use for the Order anyway." He bow, and turn just to look at the sea, lost in thoughts

Once Ravarie steps up onto the deck, Serinda says, "Ah, good, you're up. And since both of you," she says, referencing both Ravarie and Hunner, "are here, we can talk. Let's head for my cabin. Kronn, you have the helm."

Ravarie felt she had talked enough for the day, but she follows after the captain.

Once the three are inside the captain's cabin, Serinda moves to her desk, pulls out a chest from under it, and sets it on the desk itself. "I think you two forgot about this," she says. "You did help in clearing out that ghost ship, after all. Only fair you get a part of the booty. Don't worry, the Starshines and Reeker have already collected their shares, as have Kronn and me."
Opening the chest reveals that most of the valuables inside have been taken, but there is still quite a bit left. Among them are a beautifully crafted long sword of Solamnic make, and what appears to be an elven suit of studded leather of elven craftsmanship; both are covered in magical runes. There is also enough coin to split between them, giving them 750 coppers each, 250 silvers each, 819 steels each, and 25 platinums each.

Skirr purr like any draconian being would infront of such of a treasure. But damn it, he as very deep into Hunner's character. Probably, too deep if damn ghosts have mistaken him for a true knight.
'It is very generous of you captain. But me and my old blade, were quite useless on the ghost ship.' he say with a bow. 'Are you certain that I deserve this much?'

"Nonsense," Serinda insists with a wave of her hand. "You were quite capable against the zombies, and you did save that woman's life, nearly at the cost of your own. That entitles you to some reward, I'd say."

"Thank you," Ravarie says. "You should take the sword, Hunner," she adds as she picks up the armor. "Do you know anything about this armor?" She asks the captain.
