Tesoro pulled Lizzie’s attention, speaking softly to her and offering to be part of a small contingent she sent over to negotiate. While she appreciated the offer, part of what he said had her pausing. She glanced over at him, studying him for only a moment. ”Ya have some misgivings on my own personal thoughts towards ya, Tesoro. We may have all gotten off to a rough start, however the instant I let ya out of that cage ya became part of my crew. I don’t think you, or anyone else here, actually knows exactly what that means to me. When you are my crew, ya become my family and I will protect my family. So I can’t let you or anyone else go over there, okay?” She knew she was showing some vulnerability to him currently, but she didn’t care. What she spoke was the truth and they all deserved to know where she stood on how she viewed them all, despite having only really known them for a day. ”And if we get out of this without a fight then ya can fight me later in my quarters.” She added the last part teasingly with a smirk before looking back to the other crew and the dark elf that just made a perverse remark.
”Ya claim it would be a missed opportunity for me, however yer the one that seems to be trying to sell yourself like a whore with that comment.” She gave Vellen a smirk as the other dark elf, the twin, went on to address Tesoro and Nym. Lizzie decided to use this opportunity to quietly speak to the rest of her crew, glancing over at Tigerlily and ignoring her rude comment towards Tesoro.
”Pay attention to our surroundings. Tigerlily explained earlier to me how this wasn’t Ardyn’s main ship and I wouldn’t be surprised if that main ship were nearby in case things went sour here. Perhaps cloaked in some sort of magic? If they come aboard our ship we need to be prepared to dispatch of them swiftly. Nym makes a point with mentioning our sparse ranks so we may have to get creative if this comes to a fight.” She’d turned away from the other crew to speak, trying to keep them from being able to possibly read her lips. Once finished explaining her suspicions she turned back to the other ship.
She kept a smile on her face as Vellen explained how the sea was “claimed” by Ardyn, but her irritation grew ever so slightly. The sea wasn’t something someone claimed, she was her own mistress. If anything, one paid tax to her and respected her. The fact that this Captain Ardyn thought he owned part of the sea got under Lizzie’s skin. It was as if the sea spoke to her, begging her to free her from this false master. Little did she know the waters were responding to her emotions, slowly becoming more agitated and causing the ships to rock slightly more than they were before.
Her eyes locked on the male fairy who was making fun of her crew. She grinned at him, but it wasn’t a friendly look by any means. ”Assholes? Ya wound me with such a boring insult. Why not call me a cunt? I much prefer that one.” She then turned back to Vellen.
"I have a few issues with yer demands. First, I've never been a fan of tax collectors. Second, the sea despises being claimed as it shows her little respect. Don't ya hear her protesting?" She asked as she nodded towards the growing waves, seeming to be crashing into only their ship. Lizzie truly didn't know why it was happening, but she'd noted it moments ago and decided to run with it. "And last, ya act like this Captain Ardyn Croft is some sort of king. So what? Should I be frightened of him when I'm the devil herself?" A dark smile crossed Lizzie's features as she held her arms out wide.
"It may be time to see what we're all made of, boys and girls. The sea seems to be on our side though." She said softly to her crew.
