Arturos smiled brightly and bowed toward Aria taking off his cap as he did so. This was the first time for him at least meeting his crew mates for this voyage. Standing up again he placed his helmet upon his head and said.

"Greetings Aria! I am Professor Arturos Ertines though my friends call me Arty a lot easier to say in a pinch and less of a tongue twister as well. Ah Braelv I remember my army days we marched through here it hasn't changed much eh still a one ship town." 

Arty stepped back as Maithien approached and let him stamp and shout it was his ship after all and he could do just about as he pleased. He cocked his head as the little woman or was she just woman no most likely a dwarf stepped forward and in a huff at that. Arty listened intently to her and gave his new friend Aria a questioning and quizzical look. His head went from the dwarf to Maithien and to Aria in circuit and many times making his helmet flop aimlessly on his head. When she was done Arty tapped his cane on the deck a couple of times and stepped up next to her.

"Oh dear. I do not want to cause trouble myself sir but in a certain since the miss has a fair point. Brutish and very direct I should say but to the point none the less. Also all in all you are the fair Captain and us your crew but the uh.....excitement I missed everyone else seems a tad concerned. A slight explanation never hurt anyone.....almost always."

Arty flashed his even pearly whites again and hoped he had helped at least a little bit.
