<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nothing. Neither the young squire nor the mad drunk said anything of her being what she was. Instead, she was treated with respect, like people normally treated people. Which meant that these were either very liberal people, or, they themselves were perhaps not merely human themselves. And this ship was apparently called the Bastard. If she weren't so confused at the moment, Itsuki would have laughed at the name. Apparently, the drunk was of noble lineage - she never would have guessed such a thing. Not as she looked at him like this, hanging over the guard rail of a ship like a kid. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bf0040"><i>Jus' what in the hell've ah gotten mahself into</i></span>, she thought. This ship was heading towards Lingard. . .that was back towards the east, closer to the eastern kingdom. Wasn't it? It was a strange place that very few people ever visited. She wondered what the place was like.<br/>
<br/>
After being shown her room, Itsuki decided to stay there for a time. She deeply contemplated her presence there, where she was going, and just how to react to the situation. After an hour or so worth of thought, she decided that thinking about it too much was pointless. Her money was gone and she had nowhere else to go. If the people where she was being taken decided to kill her, they would have to fight to do so. If not? Then she was just lucky. Just like that, her good mood was restored and the ogre decided to wander the Bastard, as sitting in that room had become all too boring.<br/>
<br/>
She found, as she wandered, the most unexpected of sights. The drunken noble seemed sober as he danced along with a dark haired woman, the two of them moving with such grace and beauty that she found herself unable to speak a word. Her eyes followed them both, the sharpened pupils capturing every movement. All up until Nao spoke that one word - and then, the figure of the maiden faded away into. . .that thing. It had the same feeling as the thing that traveled around with Lin, her guardian, the one she called Shawn.<br/>
<br/>
The red haired woman dropped down onto the deck from above, landing silently before the noble. If anything were going to give the squire a heart attack, it would be seeing that the ogre had indeed been roaming the halls of the ship. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bf0040">"Ya know, you never answered mah question ah asked you when we got on this ship. Ya said ya found her, Lin that is. And now, I see you with that thing. . .seems jus' like tha thing she was travelin' with. Gives me tha same creeps an' all. Called it Shawn, said it was her guard ah think. Care ta tell me just 'why that is exactly now, sir? Or were ya jus' yankin' mah chain?"</span>[/list:u]</li>
