Distracted with the hair-ruffling received from Amalia, Katherine didn't notice Adilah taking her leave, or she simply didn't really care. She grinned broadly, her large furry ears pointed straight up in excitement as she looked around the deck. She knew her aid wasn't required yet. The fox-girl wasn't the most physically imposing person, and opening up the masts and such required more strength than she had. Her skills lay elsewhere, but were appreciated none the less. If someone had to climb up to the masts in the middle of a storm they'd be hard-pressed to find a better candidate for it than Katherine, the foxy woman's natural agility capable of dazzling monkeys.<br/><br/>This left Katherine with nothing to do however, her conversational partner had moved on to be by herself, while Deacon was off talking with Narkissos. Her ears perked up when she spotted the lavishly-dressed bard on the deck, her bush tail waving excitedly as he moved closer and sat down against the mast near her. She knew all men and women aboard Redmane's ship. From the lowliest swabber to the captain's most trusted men, but this person was new, much like the professor that had recently joined the crew.<br/><br/>When he began to play on his guitar, she drew closer. Katherine was torn however, curious about both this strange bard with his instrument and professor Tweeds were new to the crew and she wanted to learn more about them both. Adjusting her recently gifted hat, Katherine sat down next to Diego to watch him play. She waved and called out at professor Tweeds however, quietly hoping Amalia wouldn't notice her bothering the new people.<i>"Hey Spectacles! Come over 'ere before yer foot snags in a rope and ya get turned inta gull-bait!"</i>She grinned again, not caring that her sharp fangs were showing.<i>"So..."</i>She said, peering at Diego. "Yer new 'ere on the bastard, aren't ya?"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
