"Well, you might not work too hard," Kalana points out. She has seen Arieal ignore or go against orders before, so it makes sense that she would go against orders to work on the ship. "But the rest of us all have our chores on the ship," she points out. "And we all take turns doing the hard labor, so really we all deserve meals like this once in awhile. I still stand by the fact the most of them are just greedy bastards though," she says with a smile before she turns her attention to Jaeron.
"All right. Well, I'm not one to deny food," she says as she scoots her tray over so that Jaeron can put his hash upon it.
"Gonto doesn't much bother me like it does some others," Kalana mentions matter of factly. "Of course, I don't know much about the Goddess either, but she is a hell of a lot better than Renos at any rate," she says. "My reputation will remain intact, so no worries there, G-man," she says. "Besides, the only reason why people are...cautious of the two of you," she says, pointedly looking at Jaeron and Mathias," is because you are both law men. You have to admit that it is suspicious of two law men to be on a ship full of people that are taking the law into their own hands," she says with a grin. She pauses for a moment before she holds out her wrists to Mathias. "I won't resist arrest though, so please arrest me officer," she says with a tiny pout. Clearly, she is just playing around, but she hopes she is proving a point as well.

Jaeron scrapes his hash onto Kalana's plate and corrects her "Actually I'm not a lawman I am a historian. I write down and document history as it happens rather than arrest folks. Though I have to admit I do respect lawmen."

"She didn't actually meant you arrest her." Senllip states the obvious and rolls his eyes. "Officers or not, I think you soon be happier on board. Especially after the food! And being in the company of the two most beautiful women on deck!" Senllip says, absentmindedly ignoring all the bad mood talks and the gods philosophy.

"Besides, the only reason why people are...cautious of the two of you," she says, pointedly looking at Jaeron and Mathias," is because you are both law men. You have to admit that it is suspicious of two law men to be on a ship full of people that are taking the law into their own hands," she says with a grin. She pauses for a moment before she holds out her wrists to Mathias. "There ain't nothin' suspicious about it, to my mind," Mathias says, a touch defensively. "Any foe to pirates is a friend to the Guild -- we'd like to handle it all ourselves, sure, but the problem's big enough that we'll take all the help we can get. Call it 'takin' the law into your own hands' if you will, but the law's got no quarrel with them that hunts pirates." "I won't resist arrest though, so please arrest me officer," she says with a tiny pout. Clearly, she is just playing around, but she hopes she is proving a point as well. "Hoho! Best be careful what ya wish for, lass," the dwarf says, erupting in another fit of raucous laughter. "I've a cell specially suited for detainin' your pretty self, back in my quarters. Might be more fun if ya resist just a little bit, though." He throws her a wink, obviously missing whatever point it was Kalana was trying to prove. "She didn't actually meant you arrest her." Senllip states the obvious and rolls his eyes. "Of course not, ya daft sea cucumber!" Mathias says. "Ya ever seen the inside of a Varneilian prison? Don't nobody wanna go there." "Officers or not, I think you soon be happier on board. Especially after the food! And being in the company of the two most beautiful women on deck!" Senllip says, absentmindedly ignoring all the bad mood talks and the gods philosophy. After Senllip says this, Mathias' good humor appears to quickly fade, and he takes on a somber, pensive look that seems strange on the normally boisterous dwarf's countenance. It's the same sort of look Jaeron had seen him wearing earlier, as he stared over the railing off in the direction of Varneil. |

Jaeron sighs "My point as well the pirates are lawless and the crew here aim to put a stop to it. That I can admire after what happened to my uncle when I was younger, I'm glad to be part of it."

Kalana pulls her tray back, and digs in to the second set of hash. "Hmm," she says, taking a moment to swallow her food. "Gonto equals law," she says. "That is the most simple way to look at things, and that is how most of the people on this ship are going to view you and Gonto. It isn't fair, but that is how it works.
"Wow. Why to ruin the joke, Senllip," Kalana says with a small laugh. "And good job at putting food before the beautiful women," she added with a shake of her head. "We really have a feel for your priorities now," she teases.
All of this more serious discussion forces Kalana to take the full flask from her hip. She takes a couple of sips from it as if it was nothing at all, and then replaces the flask on her hip. "You two might agree with what we are doing here, but most of the sailors don't know that because most of the law don't feel the same way you do. Though," she says cheerfully. "Since the two of you are sitting with me, that will help your reputation a little bit, so you have that going for you.
Kalana nearly spits out the juice she was drinking upon the dwarf's reaction as she wasn't quite expecting it, but she seems pleased with the result as she laughs. "Don't threaten me with a good time!"

"Law, a matter of perspective." Arieal snorts as she picks from her plate. |

Jaeron "Everything in life is like that not just law, all comes down to perspective. The one thing I wholly agree upon is that by working together can prosperity be made for all. In shorter terms we get more done by working together rather than not. Though I must admit that the cleric of Octhanus surprises me why would she have anything against a cleric of Gonto? Unless it's again because I am not an elf."

"Wow. Why to ruin the joke, Senllip," Kalana says with a small laugh. "And good job at putting food before the beautiful women," she added with a shake of her head. "We really have a feel for your priorities now," she teases. Senllip says sincerely covering his mouth with his hand and clearly trying to replay in his mind the conversation. He silently takes note of the dwarf darkening of mood he wonders if it was the women part or the food. One day he should check on it but not in this forum. He then lightly says to the others, "Laws... Gontorians... Arrests... All these talks will get us nowhere. Let's speak of more cheerful things. Anyone into gambling? We can try to arrange something for tonight. And if you lose enough you might recruit some more friends." He adds chuckling. |

Jaeron shakes his head when gambling is mentioned "No I'm not one for gambling, I like to read. However a game of sava (similar to chess) is more to my linking.I've also watched others play knucklebones I believe they called the game with dice. There was an interesting game I used to play with black and white pebbles i believe it was called go it had some other names weiqi and baduk."

Mathias appears to have lost all interest in the ongoing conversation at this point. Finishing his last few bites of food, the dwarf rises from his chair, lets out a small but resounding belch, and says, "I ain't got the time for games. Gotta go have a palaver with the captain. Anyone know whereabout I could find 'im?" The expression he wears is still a serious one, but the far-off look he had a moment ago has been replaced with one of businesslike determination.

Jaeron realizing his enjoyment and love of knowledge once more has pushed someone away... the gnome sighs "I forget my fondness of knowledge is not common place. Well I guess I shall go off and enjoy the day topside." the gnome finishes his food and drink then heads up to the deck to enjoy the view and being outdoors on the open waters. "Ladies enjoy. If you need me I'll be taking my usual stroll."

"I all ready lost...well I guess I won," Kalana says with a small smirk. "A couple of nights ago on my weekly gambling night. I haven't even had a chance to spend my winnings yet, so I'm not going to possibly lose it tonight."
Kalana finishes off her second helping of hash, and then stands from where she was sitting. "I'll take you to him. He is probably on the upper deck."

Arieal sits for a while picking at her food, almost relieved of being abandoned. Eventually, she take a small piece of bread and pockets it before returning to the deck and climbing to the crows nest.
