Lana sighed, each word the woman spoke made it sound more and more like a scam. The girl made a desperate bid for survival and Lana may well have been the perfect schmuck who fell for it. She grabbed Helena by the front of her shirt and pulled her close, staring daggers at her. "You will be taking a position on my crew. You'll follow my rules, do what I tell you and you'll get a<i>portion </i>of gold whenever we find anything."<br/><br/>She pulled Helena closer still, Lana's lips almost pressed to Helena's ear, "if you're trying to fool me, and I find out... You'll be begging to be brought back to the gallows before I'm through with you. I don't have any reason to trust you... So I do hope you prove me wrong, and maybe I'll raise your pay."<br/><br/>She let go of Helena's shirt then looked the girl over. She looked like a street urchin so poor that other urchins gave donations to her. "We'll collect yoyr belongings. Then I'm taking you to a Taylor and buying you some new clothes, conaider it a gift from your new captain."<br/><br/>Lana walked with Helena through the town. She didn't hold her arm or anything, but she did ocasionally glance back at her you make sure she wasn't trying to get away. Soon, the two can upon a quaint, well kept building. Rows of dresses and clothes lined the window and a little blue sign hung over the door. "Miramel's tailor shoppe"<br/><br/>Lana walked in and motioned for Helena to join her. The shop smelled of lilac and was very well kept. Wooden models and pegs held all sorts of vatieties of clothes. Behind a counter was a wall full of cubbies with rolls of fabrics of all varieties. A little red-haired woman wearing wire spectacles stood smiling behind the counter. She beamed at Lana, "hello Captain!". she chirped.<br/><br/>Lana chuckled, "you can just call me Lana, Miramel. I need your help, some new clothes for my companion." She motioned to Helena, Miramel looked at her and her smile fell a bit, but grew again.<br/><br/>"I see... She is certainly in need. Luckily, you've come to the right place." She walked out from around the counter, carrying a rolled up.measuring tape in one hand. "I'll see if we have something that fits her."<br/><br/>Lana nodded, "thank you. Something practical, she's a new crew member so nothing too flashy." Lana wlaked toward the door, "I'm going to good get your things from the constable... Don't leave without me."
