Spymaster Irene Kelly
Coast of Serana, the Karsts

"Ah was wrong." Irene said, puffing hard on the cigar that hung out the side of her mouth. 

"Do you really fink she'll be 'ere, ma'am?" The group of Federation Guards buzzed around her, setting up the camp deep into the wood line. Irene had requested that there be no fire. She was the only one permitted to make smoke. Catspaw didn't know her, not well anyways, but she had been around her long enough. After a string of burglaries in Jotun, Irene had searched long and hard just to locate her safehouse, only to find it emptied of all the stolen belongings. The very same been turning up in these local markets. 

"Ah'v got no fuckin' clue. Shay coud be anywhere. Tha Karsts are a spot dese people use to hide out. Ah think we'll just waet for 'er, and if she comes—" The Spymaster removed the spyglass from her left eye and then from her hooked hand, placing it in her belt. "She'll see us comin' fer sure." She smiled, cutting off the tip of her cigar with her hook and stuffing it in a pocket of her overcoat. "Load up three boats. All of ya bring crossbows and machetes. She's across tha water."

The sea, heading to Tonate

She hoped the Captain was right, death was not on her agenda for when she arrived to the Southern Isles. Giving her a small smile, Cecilia nodded her head as she listened to Caliss, not sure if she could help herself from attacking but would do her best to prevent from doing so. "As long as he doesn't attack me, I guess I can promise not to." 

Taking slow strides towards her, Cecilia eyed the beverage she poured herself and wondered how it would feel to be intoxicated. Perhaps the same way it felt when she killed someone, euphoric and filled with pleasure. Hell, she enjoyed it so much that it turned her on when she held someone's throat between her teeth. "So this is what you do to make a living? You sell pleasure to men, murder slavers before taking their loot and hand the freed slaves over for a bounty. If I manage to leave Tonate without Toula taking control then I may just make myself comfortable. It sounds like the perfect job besides the harloting *And* I won't be left hungry.*

Caliss smiled at her, "I'll hold your habd or something so you'll have to tear my arm off to attack him." She winked at the shifter, a jest, she knew and respected the shifter's dislike of human touch. 

As Bella approached Caliss was reminded of the predatory grace and beauty, "Gods," She breathed softly into her glass before downing her glass and pouring them both another. She held the glass out Bella, "Ah be nice to the girls, they're doing what they love. But yes... This is how I make a living, prostitutes and hunting slavers. There's also trading in the loot I get off'em."

"I do hope you stay, maybe being around ypur fellow women will help to soothe Toula." She seemed hopeful but doubted it would work, "Of she is a separate consciousness though perhaps I could... Make a suggestion to her." Caliss said, subtly tapping her eye patch as she took another drink. "Though if she hears everything you do my eye won't work on her either... Not that I'd use it without your permission anyway."

Taking the glass, Cecilia eyed the liquid inside before putting it to her lips to taste. It was quite bitter for the shifter but downed it anyways, pretending for the moment that she did have the ability to become drunk. "This is me being nice." 

As they spoke of Toula, Cecilia felt her lips purse into a thin line as she recalled Caliss's own ability before letting out a doubtful sigh. "I wish that was possible but I honestly don't know when she is listening to our conversation or not. She hasn't given any snarky remarks so far, though it may be best we don't mention your ability until we don't have a choice but to use it on her." 

God was she glad Toula hadn't gone on a full rant about this Captain as she would about anyone else. Taking another sip, Cecilia wondered what Toula's thoughts would be regarding the woman in front of her. She enjoyed Caliss's company so far but wouldn't want to risk finding out for herself. "So how did you come across becoming a Captain of the.. Temptress was it?"

Caliss drank a bit from her glass and listened carefully to Bella's words. Nodding at her wisdom regarding the mention of Caliss' ability she resolved to atleast try it if ever Toula made a move. 

"My father built the Temptress for me after I returned from the voyage that earned me this eye. I have been her one and only Captain, I recruited the whores and crew from freed slaves and fishing villages then trained them in the art of naval combat and such. It has been wonderful, difficult but I love it." She swirled her wine and sighed, "I've thought of retiring in the future... Buying a big manor and living to a ripe old age. But, my love is the sea and my crew." She downed her glass and poured herself another, downing half again.

There was a pounding at the door, "Coming into Tonate proper Captain!" Caliss responded by chugging down several gulps of wine from the bottle and then finishing her glass. "Bastard better not try to make me become a privateer. I've told his Lackies that I'm a merchant vessel *Not* A pirate ship." She set her glass down and kept hold of the half full bottle as the ship came to a halt. 

She went to her cabin door and pulled it open, "Get those free-folk ready and start rounding up the cargo! Half the crew may go ashore today, the rest of you business as usual! Those that work today go ashore tomorrow!" 

"C'mon Bella," She held out her hand with a playful smile. She apparently wanted to see if Bella would hold her hand, outside the freed slaves were gathering with excited chatter.
