Everyone on the ship seemed to have an opinion to his plan. Cept the one that really mattered that is. First, it was the mermaid Tigerlily. Of course it was to be expected that her opinion and tone towards him is as harsh as ever. His previous outburst definitely did not elicit any sort of friendly response. [color=f1c40f]"Count me in? Does that mean you would like to join me? And here I thought you didn't like me. I'll remember to keep my distance and wear earplugs, though. Don't want to be sold out as bait..."[/color] Tesoro quipped back. Hopefully his softened tone can be taken as concession or even an apology to her previous actions. Given the fact that Tigerlily hasn't attacked him or treated him poorly, aside from the very reasonable responses due to his earlier provocation.

Next was Nym, the de facto quartermaster. What he said made sense as well. Again, his feeling towards him was completely warranted. He has a job to do. He has accepted Lizzie as his captain and being the seasoned pirate, he understands his place on the ship. Tesoro, however, still hasn't fully accepted being a crewman again. Having fallen from a high place, it was easy to see why. [color=f1c40f]"Aye, old friend. Of course I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Don't I always?"[/color] Tesoro said, giving Tigerlily a playful wink. [color=f1c40f]"Though. I might need a knife of some sort that I know you keep hidden somewhere. That's all I'll need. I've got a plan, you see. And I don't intend on dying until I get myself some booty to brag about..."[/color] He eyed Lizzie up and down quickly and briefly at the end of his words towards Nym.

The captain then spoke up. The crew of the schooner made an extraordinary demand of 5000 amas. There was no way that gets paid. The Harem more than likely does not have that sort of treasury to her name anyways. Having been on the high seas for more than his fair share of suns and moons, Tesoro began to notice an unusual swelling of the tides. He made a mental note as Lizzie continued to speak. [color=f1c40f]"Aye, captain. [i]IF[/i] we get out of this without a fight. I'll be more than happy to fight you. Though, you must know, I fight up close and personal. Hand-to-hand, grappling, and the like. Given that I came up from the pits, it might get a lil rough for ya. Hope you're ok with that..."[/color] Tesoro said, the tip of his tongue brushed his left canine before his lips closed.

Barboda spoke up last. He mentioned that there are quite a few people in the lower area of the ship. Tesoro shrugged off his own questions as to how was he able to make that call. Just as Barboda finished his words, Tesoro peeked over the railing of the ship towards the other ship just in time to hear a single crossbow bolt being fired. The next thing he saw was the forest fairy dropping dead on the other ship. Tesoro draw in a deep breath, standing up and rolling his shoulders slightly to loosen himself up. The morning sun shone and reflected off his broad shoulders. If one was observant enough, they will notice golden traces of ink that coiled around the musculature of his arms. His eyes glinted and the air around him seem to shimmer slightly. If one was to approach him right now, they would feel that he is radiating more heat than normal. [color=f1c40f]"Well I guess we're not getting out of this without a fight."[/color] He said, looking towards Lizzie with a devious smile that turned into a ferocious scowl for a small moment. [color=f1c40f]"Though I'll be more than ready to handle you after this brief scuffle, captain..."[/color] 

Tesoro quickly scanned the deck of The Harem, trying to find a short dagger of some sort. Sure Nym has a few blades but he would rather not feel him up to find one at this moment. His golden eyes stopped at Tigerlily. He chuckled inwardly. This will not go over well. She, conveniently, has a dagger hanging at her hip. He glanced up at the sun as if to say [color=f1c40f][i]"Really? This is the damn option you're giving me?"[/i][/color] before resigning to his fate. In three quick, broad, steps, he closed in on the mermaid. Without breaking eye contact, his right hand deftly reached down and plucked the dagger from its sheath. [color=f1c40f]"I'll bring this back to you after, dear, promise."[/color] Tesoro gave her a smirk and a wink. Tigerlily would have felt nothing more than a feathery light touch and the slight rattle as Tesoro unsheathed the blade.

Tesoro then made himself available at the edge of the ship, near enough to a crate to use it as cover but also close enough to the point of The Harem that is the closest to the schooner so that he is the first elf the other crew would have to get through in order to make it aboard The Harem.
