Aure continued to stay quiet during the whole conversation about the possible pay and also the possible threats for this mission.  She knew nothing about what animal he was describing and really didn’t seem to be impacted too much by the description.  In all honesty, even with how dangerous this was sounding, the city elf was more likely to survive this than staying here in the city with too many thugs for her to ever stand a chance against.  At least the beasts that it was sounding like they would be facing were more likely to be easy compared to a bunch of bandits.<br/><br/>She wasn’t really all that concerned about the money or the treasure; she had never really had much so she didn’t know what she would do with that much money.  But then, the thought of actually having the money and never having to dance again just to have a roof and food was an enticing one.  Though, she would hope to not have to come back to this city like the captain was so determined to do.  Maybe she could convince him to drop her off somewhere else before coming back.<br/><br/>While those thoughts were going through Aure’s head when they all decided to leave already with Jal’s words.  She looked back up at them at the words and spoke up for a moment, her ale not anywhere near done yet.  There was more than half a mug left over as sh3e herself spoke up,<span style="color: Magenta">“Wait… leaving already… shit.”</span>Almost immediately she took her mug and began chugging the thing, going slowly enough that she didn’t spill any on her armor, but fast enough so that she didn’t have to run to catch up.<br/><br/>Once outside, she went back to very cautious, and looking around like someone wanting to kill her might be just around the corner.  She didn’t care at all what the others thought about that, but if the stupid thugs had actually seen her with Jal before or where she had gone, they would come with a mob, and she wanted to know if that was coming early.  She only let out a sigh and relaxed when they reached the ship and she wasn’t standing anywhere in the city.  All the muscles in her body actually relaxed, and visibly so with the dropping of her shoulders under the armor.<span style="color: Magenta">“Thank the Maker.  That gang didn’t see us anywhere.”</span><br/><br/>During the tour of the ship with the captain, Aure grumbled a bit at the sleeping arrangements.  When the hammocks for them were to be hung, she made a note to herself to ask Atashi if she would take the hammock closest to them men of the ship.  Or more likely get up the courage to ask the Qunari woman to take that hammock, Atashi seemed a bit threatening, especially since Aure was much smaller than her.  The looks she was getting when they were finally out into the sea and everyone took the chance to relax settled her resolve to ask the scary woman.<br/><br/>After they were on the sea, Aure made her way from the place along the railings and towards where Atashi stood, and trying to ignore the looks and the whistling from the crew.  She had also noticed the looks she was getting were also directed to a greater degree at Luna.  She didn’t know whether to be jealous of the other woman or relieved that she wasn’t getting the greatest attention.  Luna had much more generous curves and ‘size’ over Aure’s lithe and lean athletic form.  After shaking her head for a moment to get those thoughts out of her head before leaning against the railing next to Atashi.<br/><br/><span style="color: Magenta">“Hey… Atashi right? … I was wandering why a Qunari be interested in an expedition like this?  Let alone a female one, something I have never seen in over a year of being in Rivain.”</span>She asked, sounding just curious and not like she was trying to be insulting if she was.  Aure was not planning to ask what she wanted really just yet.  She didn’t know it consciously, but the way she was leaning on the railing to talk to Atashi, Aure was probably glad that the leather armor she wore left plenty to the imagination for her ass.
