<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"I personally see no harm in a little harmless flirty, but perhaps you are right my bird taming friend,"</span>Cade replied to Piper's comment about Bell being a dangerous woman. He shrugged in an exaggerated show and let his hands fall down to the table in front of him. He remained silent, letting it all sink in while he tried to size up his two companions.  Piper did have a very strong point when Cade looked over Bell once again, and he decided at least for the time being he was going to be on his best behavior... best being a rather loose definition of course. He listened intently as Bell shared her observations and suggestion to share a little about their history and exploits, if nothing else it would help him to understand the both of them better and he could at least read her reactions to his claims and go from there, too.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"I agree with Bell's suggestion, getting to know each of our... <i>unique... </i>skills would be useful in determining how we can best benefit each other,"</span>Cade said lifting up a hand to stroke his chin lightly as he considered where to begin.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00"> "My exploits cover many of the seven seas, with countless crew and narrow escapes from death and worse. Though, I'm not a stranger to a little side action in the form of thievery, exploitation or assassinations if the price and reason are right."</span>He smiled.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"Like that chap, oh what was his name... Duke Ferdinand of the Germanic provinces... I'm particularly proud of that one, even though it was a lot of rope that went into his bindings, and that poor woman he was with too..."</span>He arched a brow and waited to hear what the others had to say. If the others had heard of the Duke's assassination, they would know that he had been found gagged, and tied down to his bed in a bizarre series of knots around his ankles, elbows, knees, shoulders and waist and died of asphyxiation; the woman he had mentioned however was left unharmed physically, though horrified after having been tied up to the Duke as his life drained, forced to watch him die but again not physically harmed.
