| Thea wrinkled her nose and said, "Well I certainly would not do that. I have many methods for plants however." | |

| Aurelia wrinkled her nose delicately.
"It worries me too. I get the feeling that our accountant is sitting on something more explosive than even he knew, which means we have no way of knowing how important that information is to the Marids or how far they'll go to destroy it. Personally, I'm not sure that the men after him were assassins as much as they were information extractors. I'm not sure which scenario is worse for us."

"Like I said," Kestrel stated, her fascination with Thea's cooking still apparent, "What you can do is better than anything I can manage. My little sister's the cook of the family." | |

| "The information extractors would be worse." Ephraim said, "They still managed to surprise us. If that's what non-specialists are capable of, I shudder to think how their assassins would be." Ephraim turned to leave. "With that sorted, I'm going to go prepare the food. I'll be back shortly." Right before he reached the door, he turned to face Aurelia again. "A thought to consider: we just killed two Marid men. True, there were no survivors, but there were witnesses that might identify us. We're relative nobodies now, and that works in our favour, and maybe Akiralta can help make this disappear, but we've acted against one of the strongest organisations in the world. I'm sure I don't need to say this, but it might be in all our best interests to get some distance between us and this port as soon as we're done here." | |

| Aurelia shook her head.
"I'm more worried about them finding us in open skies. In this tub, they wouldn't have to break a sweat to make it look like an accident. In the city, there's hundreds of thousands of people to sort through. If need be, there are some favours I can call in. Don't overcook my steak." | |

| "I'm think I must disagree with you on this one." Ephraim said, "Right now, this city is the last place we want to be. There are witnesses all around, and this will be the first place searched by the Marids. Time is on our side, as, though the ship may not be fast, it will take them quite a while to figure out if we left, and even longer, if ever, before they know which way we went. Besides, although some people saw us at the scene, nobody has any reason whatsoever to connect us to this ship." | |

| Orin checked the paper in his hand and looked at the number on the dock. It indeed was the one. He took a deep breath, walked up the gangplank, and knocked sharply on the door. He took a half step back and threw on a smile. | |

| Kestrel started at the sound of the knock.
"Aurelia? Ephraim? There's someone at the door."
There was no response, so Kestrel repeated herself. There continued to be no response. Kestrel squared her shoulders and picked up her blade. She was supposed to be the captain, after all. Weapon pointed outwards, she swung the door open. | |

| "Hello! I'm he..." Orin trailed off uncertainty at the sight of the oversize sword currently pointing at him. "... re... About the... Job?" He coughed awkwardly. "Is this a bad time?" | |

| Feeling her cheeks redden, Kestrel lowered the sword.
"No it's... The situation is... Why don't you just come inside." | |

| After a pause, Orin tipped his head toward her and walked through the door. He removed his hat upon entering and took in the room and the people in it. "My, my..." he said, trying to recover his wits, "Seems the party has already begun." He cleared his throat. "Dear me, am I late? I didn't see any kind of indication for time on the notice." | |

| Orin gave a minute shrug and turned his attention toward sword lady. He held out his hand and said, "Orin. I assume you are the captain? I'd like a cut in on this job, if it's not too late." | |

| Thea grinned wolfishly, slightly disarming on her tiny child-like face, and said "well, it appears as though he will make this adventure more interesting...."
Turning back to her cooking, she gave another giggle and added more vegetables to the mix. | |

| Kestrel hesitated.
"To be honest, we might have just pissed off the Marids by offing a couple of their assassins. So, we could use the help, but I understand if you don't want to join up." | |

| Orin raised his eyebrows and let out a chuckle. "The little one is right! An adventure indeed!" his smile broadened. "Well, if you've any use for a skilled archer, this sounds like quite the game you're playing. Though the Marids are imposing, I don't see them as a show-stopper." He patted the bag at his side and added, "Besides, I've a few tricks up my sleeve for more difficult adversaries." | |

| Kestrel smiled and stuck out a hand.
"You're hired, then. We're just waiting around at the moment, trying to keep this guy alive." She jerked a thumb at the bookkeeper.

Aurelia sighed.
"For better or for worse, we're stuck in this city until Akiralta gets back with our information. Let's just hope that our assassins didn't have a third team member shadowing us." | |

| "Alright!" said Orin, grabbing kestrel's hand and giving it a firm shake. "Just one requirement of mine, though. I'll need some private space now and then to replenish my magics. I work a rather specific set of spells, and I'm not keen on sharing my methods. Nothing personal." | |

| Thea gave a sigh and motioned to the closed door, "perhaps the others should be informed of our new arrival? We would not want an accidental death or injury on our hands..." | |

| Ephraim nodded in agreement. "Yes, that would be unpleasant. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I have some food to prepare." Having said what he came to say, Ephraim turned and exited the room, where he was immediately greeted by the sight of a strange new person. "Apologies for the delay, everyone; I was conversing with the first mate." He said, before turning to Kestrel, "Might I enquire as to why we have a new person present at this... delicate time?" | |

| "Ah, urm...yes. We'll, the job posting was still up, and my skills will most definitely be advantageous, I assure you." Orin smiled for a moment, then his train of thought straightened out. He took a step toward the man in front of him. "Pardon me, where are my manners." He held our his hand. "Orin. I'm an archer by practise, quite the good shot, if I do say so myself. Good and quiet; perfect for the unsuspecting assassin."

| "He knows the general lay of the land but not the details. I'll fill him in later when I'm clearing some space in the cargo hold for him to do magic." She turned to Orin. "You'd better not set my boat on fire." | |

| Ephraim raised his eyebrows. "This will be interesting." He commented as he headed over to the stove to prepare the steaks. | |
