Maithien saw Miss Katewyn emerge from the stairs in the corner of his eye. She had that animal with her still. He was still perplexed as to where it had come from. And frankly he was offended a bit at the thought that his ship could be infested with an army of unknown animals. But oh well, he supposed the thing wasn't too bad. As long as it didn't bite. Maithien gave a small nod to Katewyn. And then-

[i]"WAIT A SCREECHIN' MINUTE!![/i]"

 Maithein jumped noticeably and quirked his head behind him to see Simina marching towards him with a look on her face that, dare he say, would have made his father pause out of fear. Was she that offended over him messing up a simple pat on that back? He hoped not, he frankly needed an engineer. "What's wro-" Maithien tried to say. However he was cut off when the angry little woman started shouting at him more. She didn't have to yell, he really wasn't [i]that[/i] much taller than her.

Simina launched into a tirade of twenty questions about the journey, The ship, the men that attacked everyone at the docks, the treasure, and even about leaving the ship. The working part of Maithien's brain thought that all of her questions were completely fair to ask, in fact he was actually very surprised and even kind of worried that no one else had bothered to inquire about such things minus a few very small times. But unfortunately the nonworking part of his brain was currently in charge. So at the moment he just had a very surprised look on his face and was stuttering and occasionally pushing out some half formed words. "Dar..Dariq flew?"

Luckily Arturous jumped into the conversation and calmed things down. Which also helped Maithien get his thoughts in order to speak. "Uhm, Right." Maithien nodded dumbly. "Fair enough?"

"So, Let's see.." Maithien tried to recall all the questions he had to answer. "We'll start with the treasure I guess, root of all this. Back before the war, you know, [i]the[/i] war. There was some rich ground dweller that got killed or captured. As far as I can tell their inheritance is still up for grabs. I think they had a far lesser known holding where they kept most of their wealth. Of course the documents stating where this holding is found have been obscured by a war, along with a few centuries added on to that. The package is some information that should help us find it."

"The idiots that tried to shoot us.. Dariq and I had had a few previous run ins with them. They were possible candidates for shipmates. But they did a few things to make me nervous so I told them they weren't welcome. I didn't see them again until our lovely battle." Maithien said with a frown.

"Most of you can stay on the ship if you have too.. I just thought it would be good for everyone to get to stretch their limbs while they still can I guess. Like I said we need to get that one fellow a doctor so someone will have to take him.. And I'm not sure how that lady who hurt her ear is doing now that I think about it also. Though I guess I can make Dariq take em." Now that Maithien was thinking about his first mate he would have thought Dariq would have shown up on deck by now, where was he? 

"I wanted people to travel together so no one would be late coming back to the ship. In case someone got drunk or something. Plus, I didn't really want to do the deal alone I guess.. Sounds boring. But now I admit I didn't think someone may just want to rest on the ship." He said. Namely that someone at the moment being Simina. Now that he focused for a moment he realized that it was possible she was tired from, as he had put it, the excellent work on the engines. Plus he hadn't really bothered to check on how the rest of his crew was faring either. Perhaps a bad call on his part. "Sorry." He said in a somewhat quieter voice.
