What is this man's angle? What's he looking for in showing him his knowledge? Diego was thinking through a torrent of thoughts as this man talked, his brain grabbing at each detail the man uttered while simultaneously examining and picking apart what had been said before, trying to find any sort of motive or purpose.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: Orange">I wonder, did Jal tell ye' where he got that bit of inked up canvas of his? I didn't think so. Quite a catch, though, eh? Vendomur, the elven corsair, the terror of the dales... what's the legend say, a hundred fortunes, a thousand? All bundled up ready to be hauled off? Huh, a catch like that be willin' to make any well thinkin' man turn a blind eye to the whys and hows. Like how did Jal, an alley-scum dicer with a crap boat and no money, get his hands on a map like Vendomur's? Or why Jal won't tell us where'n he got it. That's a point of some trouble to me. But, I would imagine, like you, the chance at such riches is hard to pass by. Hells, with even a cut of that legendary loot, you'd be able to buy a ship double the majesty of the Blue Banshee.<br/>

A man with your history has to have figured on this, I would imagine. So what's in your head?</span>"<br/><br/>Hmmm. With this Diego was starting to make some connections between statement and purpose. To say this Reshad beat around the bush was an understatement, such a hefty monologue to build up a simple question. Perhaps it is a simple hint at his personality? A hefty monolouge implies self-importance. Perhaps he wishes to usurp Jal's power? Maybe, by some off chance, this man was also a former captain? It didn't matter right now because it seemed he only thought that Diego was a member, not the former captain.<br/><br/>Diego's hand took a stronger grip against the handle of his sword. If he had to unleash it from its shabby veil, it'd be known who he was.<br/>"<span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">I only wish to experience the majesty of the sea once more, the riches that would come from Vendomur's treasure are only a benefit. And that's only if the bloody thing exists at all. But regarding Jal, fate is humorous when it comes to those she favors.</span>"<br/><br/>The wind howled through the sails, a scream under the twinkling light of the stars, almost resembling that of a banshee.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
