Andromeda smiled, listening to the old sailor. She was so glad she'd persuaded him to give her a chance. It wouldn't have mattered, of course. She was there legitimately, and what were they going to do? Throw her overboard? She decided not to think about that too much, as it suddenly occurred to her that that was not so implausible.<br/><br/>"My name is Cassius Andromeda White, but you can call me Andro...meda." She trailed off as she was interrupted by the sailor. She smiled at his gruff language, as she found it colourful and amusing.<br/><br/>She became alert when he addressed her again, and watched his backwards transformation. She listened, and inclined her head. "I will live up to your standards or die trying, I'm sure," she replied coolly. "But I'm confident that I will, as you say, make my name worth remembering. People often underestimate me... and sometimes that is to my advantage. Good luck with your 'pups.'" She copied the tone he'd used, chuckling goodnaturedly, and did a little hand wave as he walked away to take care of it.<br/><br/>After the old sailor left, she leaned back against the railing, watching the proceedings of the ship setting sail. She admired the fireworks, wondering how they made them, and if she could improve on them. As the crowd cheered, she smiled at them and gave a small wave in return. They probably wouldn't notice, but it was a nice gesture. She loved people, really.<br/><br/>Her head snapped around when the music came to an ugly halt, drawing her attention to the place in question. It was quite a sight, a portal opening. Flashy, and showy-- particularly with the moving of the people and the magical symbols. Andromeda was impressed, particularly since it wasn't a place of high magic saturation.<br/><br/>The caster must have been incredibly powerful. She prepared for an impressive figure to arrive soon. Probably someone they'd all heard of, if they were that powerful. She wasn't worried, though-- merely curious. Who could it be? Would they make it to the other side? She watched with baited breath. They'd hardly set out, and everything was already so exciting!
