Sornis considered the proposition, a crewman aboard a pirate ship, but he was unsure. He decided to go to the tavern to eat, he was starving after all. He sat at a table and waited for a wentch to come serve him. He pondered what it would be like, a life on the sea, away from all who hated him. As he ate, numerous questions sprang into his mind. Where would they go? What would life at sea be like? How would he adapt? Would he even accept the offer?<br/><br/>He payed for his meal and left to stroll the town. Seeing as tailoring for a being of his stature was almost impossible, he wore only remnants of pants. As he walked around, a familiar voice found him. He turned to see the woman from earlier, she was in a plain dress that was very flattering for some reason, and Sornis couldn't help but stare. She smiled at him and stepped closer, putting a gentle hand on his forearm. Very confused, but happy to be shown kindness, Sornis smiled back.<br/><br/>"I-I never got to thank you . . . for saving me . . ." She said softly "You scared me, but I understand why you did it . . . I'm sorry, I must seem s-silly"<br/><br/>Sornis was dumbfounded, he had never been thanked in his life. Totally speechless, he did the first thing to come to his mind, which was give a gentle her a gentle hug. She returned the hug, very happy he wasn't mean.<br/><br/>"When do you leave? On the ship?" She asked softly<br/><br/>"I'm not sure that I am" He replied<br/><br/>"Oh, but I thought you were the first mate?" She was a bit confused<br/><br/>"I've been offered it, but I haven't accepted" Sornis said<br/><br/>She held him tighter "You should take the offer"<br/><br/>"But . . ." He started<br/><br/>"No, no buts. I-I've seen you here all my life, alone and in pain, I just never had the courage to help you. but now, you can go and be free from the horrible people here. A-and maybe, someday, come back to . . ." She was implying<br/><br/>"I don't know what to say" He was unsure<br/><br/>"You protected me, go protect that young man, he's in way over his head" She said<br/><br/>"But what about you?" He asked, very much concerned<br/><br/>"I'll be okay, as long as you promise to come see me. I . . . I-I'll wait for you . . ." She held him closely<br/><br/>"Take this" He pulled a very long dagger made from bone "I made a few years back from a bull. It'll keep you safe"<br/><br/>She took it and held him tighter
