Taszu grins as Ruby teases back. Akilah was without a doubt her dearest friend, but Ruby was still dear to the thief.  They’d flirt and play games when things with Akilah got a little too overwhelming for the pirate. She grins broadly when the one-eyed woman lands near the navigator. This  was the second time in about ten minutes Ruby paid special attention to Blue, and for all her lacking in the common language, Taszu could clearly see what was going on.<br/><br/>She’d have to offer to help woo-said lady for her friend- after all, if she had the gumption to follow her desires, she knew Ruby would be there to lend an ear and a helping hand.  At the very least-it would give them something to talk about when next they played a game.<br/><br/>The sun is bright as Taszu looks out to the sea, she squints her eyes and looks out at the horizon, the breeze whipping through her long curled locks, whipping them around the few stray dreadlocks embedded in her raven mane.  She stares out in to the shallow waters , and walks towards the guard rail of the ship. She leans over and inhales the oddly familiar scent of the port.  A dopey grin crosses her lips…the blue reminds her of one thing and one thing only.    She turns her head to the right to glimpse at her oldest and best friend. Shes amused as the woman grins and indulges both her curiosity and her stomach’s call.   With a sheepish grin she straightens her self up. Adjusts her dark blue-grey mens shirt, and adjusts her bandoliers, running a hand through the back of her hair before she  reties her bandanna.<br/><br/>Rolling her shoulders, she makes her way over towards Akilah and  Narkissos .  She waves  at the cook, hell, she was familiar enough with him, it seemed as if the mistress always callously assigned her to potato peeling  duties.  Taszu always responds with a smarmy, “You rest the well and have reminder: I have of the poison.”  She thinks this veiled totally –non- threatening threat makes her seem imposing.  It doesn’t.  If she was to poison the crew via their food, Akilah would be the first to perish.  And regardless of what their relationship was, everyone knew the thief didn’t want that.  Besides…they could rest relatively well knowing as shady as Taszu was,she didn’t murder in cold blood…shit she wasn’t Jimmy.<br/><br/><br/>She  debates saying she is sorry to her friend, but opts instead to wait until they’re alone.  She gives Akilah a smile, staring at those endless pools of blue that make up the woman’s eyes , she forgets what she was planning on saying anyhow.  She gives a weak smile towards her friend, while Ruby issues her rebuttal to Taszu’s teasing. She watches as the older woman climbs back into the crow’s-nest, and seemingly settles in for a nap.<br/><br/>This gives the thief an idea.  She scampers up the intricate rope ladders , and crosses the high beam to the crow-nest , almost falling a few times.  She peeks over the edge of the three foot high wall encapsulating Ruby. She stands and bends at the hips, her feet waggling in the air as her tongue slips from between her lips in concentration , while she cranes her body towards the pirates prized dagger.  Taszu knew Ruby loved the dagger dearly…and well, if she had to let Akilah keep their bangle for today….Taszu may as  well steal something.<br/><br/>As she’s reaching for the prized possession, she shifts her weight a bit too much, causing her to fall ass overhead and summersault into the Crowsnest, landing on her back infront of Ruby.  Flat on her back she waggles her fingers in a greeting, smiling charmingly as she speaks,<span style="color: olive">“Uh..nice weather we are to be having..”</span>trying her best to seem innocent.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
