I watched idely as Rikard scrubbed at the deck with the vinegar I smiled as he side glanced me his hazel eyes intensified into a forbidding stare as he began muttering what I thought to be curses under his breath which made me smile more "that one there" he said pointing to Gallent "what did he do" "he rowed" I told Limerick "and that one" he asked pointing to Neon "he climbs up to the top of the mast and I think he was the cabin boy at one stage" I said "and that one" asked Limerick pointing to Rikard "he's the captain" I said distatefully but my stomach churned with nervousness Limericks eyes narrowed "was he the one who invaded this ship and took you by force" he growled not caring for the people who could hear him below I saw Rikard shoot me a worried glance as he stopped scrubbing Neon shot me a look along with Gallent I shook my head "no he was the first mate before the captain died" I said quickly as Limerick reached for his sword "okay" he said pushing himself off the railing and down the stairs I sighed happily and rikard continued to scrub a small smile tugged at his lips
