He chuckled at her jumping a bit and yelping, though he kept it hidden. "How did I get on the ship? Well, that's easy, I jumped onto it of course." He smiled softly, then said "Yes well, I apologize about scaring you a bit, wasn't meaning too do that truth be told. And all I want in return is to join you on your journey, I can take care of myself other then that, I'll buy my own food and water and the like, and I'll even chip in for repairs and other assorted needs like medicine or whatever is needed."<br/><br/>He smirked, and pointed at the map, saying, "That, is not a parchment, it is, if that buffoon is right, a map for Avalon, which is, in and of itself, quite valuable and has historic value to it. And I figured you knew I took it, considering it was in the bottom of your not so small pocket."<br/><br/>He smiled genuinely, then turned on his invisibility and jumped a few feet in front of her, making not a sound and turning off his invisibility, speaking as he did "My name is Anteron Llyr Zheinth, an Assassin and mercenary by trade, though I choose who I work for. I am interested in what you wish to do and the places and history you are bound to see, you are also an intriguing person, which makes it all the more interesting for me. And no, I wasn't sent after you, believe me, if I was, you would never have know I was here until it was far too late to do anything." He chuckled softly at her last comment, "And yes, I can tell you're not an easy target, so don't think I think that. Now, who are you? Exactly, if you don't mind." He looked at her seriously then, waiting for a reply.
