Taszu grins when Akilah falls to her backside.  She’s too thick to notice the blush , but she does manage to lift her  fingers to the edge of the wooden platform they have made their living space.<i> <span style="color: olive">“I can’t hear your bitching over the sound of my amazing-ness…”</span></i>She drums her fingers and watches Akilah dress.  Gods..she’s beautiful, but even a blind man knew that…. Taszu grins when Akilah snorts wanting to continue to mock her friend for perhaps sounding a bit like a swine when she grows indignant…however, after years of having each other’s back, she knew when to draw the line.<br/>Taszu rolls on to her back, and leans her head back over the side of the ‘bed’.  Her dark hair falling in thick curls over the side of the bed and framing the pirates wide grin.   Her mischevious grin stays plastered as Akilah starts to express her frustration. Right around the “HOLY SHIT TASZU..”  bit , the smaller pirate starts to let her eyes lull shut and feign a comically loud snore.  She cracks an eye open, noticing the slightly hurt look on Akilahs face and stops her buffoonery.  Her eyes lock with the pools of blue for just a moment..her mouth hangs open like she’s about to say something, but the tiny ‘HMPH”  from the other woman breaks her train of thought.<br/><br/>She rolls back on her stomach, watching Akilah dress, trying not to pay attention to her perfect body as it wiggles into a pair of pants.  Apologizing was somethingthat was foreign to the pirate, but one look into those pools of murky blue …and she knew she was a jerk. Akilah storms off upset, and Taszu feels like a jerk.<br/><br/>She pulls herself  up, sighing deeply . Mornings like this. .where she hadn’t even made it upstairs yet, and had already fucked up weighed heavily on her. She  pulls her stripped pants over her heavily scarred and tattooed body.  Not really-needing- a corset with her rather small bust, Taszu simply opts for ease, prying a exceedingly tight undershirt on that would press her breasts to her chest even more. This was not out of vanity, but need. It was hard keep ones balance and fight worth a damn with uneven heavy breasts waving around.  She grabs her boots and shoves her hand in to the right boot and feels around.   Not finding what she’s looking for she grabs the second after slipping her foot in to the first. She feels around  in the second boot and her eyes light up. She pulls a small scroll of parchment out of her boot tied together with a blue ribbon.<br/><br/>The note had cost her damn near 15 gold to have translated-, but It was worth it. The letters always made Akilah smile, and while the sentiment could be gotten far more soundly in their own language, it was important to her to remain anonymous.  She places the note under Akilahs pillow, grabs her bandoliers and belts , pistols and cutlasses, and puts them all in place. Finally she takes her trademark blood red sash’s .  She wraps one around the top of her head, pulling her long flowing hair back, and the second around her hips- tightly.  She secures her poison satchels and cracks her neck before pushing aside the silk barrier to their room and heading up to the deck.<br/><br/>She makes it above deck just in time to see Ruby become tangled up in the ships masts. This was unlike the trained woman…  Taszus’ brow rises as she witnesses the slight wave between Ruby and Blue.<span style="color: olive"> “Ruby!”  </span>She exclaims, watching as the woman  pulls her self up and continues working,<span style="color: olive"> “  Careful Huh?  Ruby-One-leg is not as rolling off my tongue!?”  </span>She waggles her brow as if the comment is supposed to be slightly suggestive,  but she and Ruby both know it’s all talk. Taszu would flirt with anyone-anyone- who would let her.  She looks up to the redhead as she runs across the sails getting the ship ready.<br/><br/>She spots Akilah nuzzling that damn spider and shudders.   She smiles however as her friend is clearly circling the cook and his pet like a hungry fish.  It was good to know Akilah ate..she was getting thin. Taszu was worried.   She decides to give the other woman some time to cool off before  apologizing, so instead she yells up to Ruby.<span style="color: olive">“You have need of hands?”</span>her  accent is heavy and hard to understand,but her word placement is....horrible.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
