Aure grinned a little bit at what Atashi said for a moment.<span style="color: Magenta">“Outgrow?  Not something we have to outgrow.  It's the crew of men that need to grow up a bit.  If they don't, I really know how to use my blades.”</span>she said, grinning again before noticing a couple of the men were watching her lewdly, probably undressing her again.  In response, Aure glared at the pair, and patted the handle of her longsword.<br/><br/>After tuning back, Aure thought about what she said.<span style="color: Magenta">“yeah, your probably right.  If we joined in on any of their gambling games, they would probably tun it into a chance to gamble our cloths off...”</span>she groaned at the thought.  Oh, she could probably play the games, she knew a lot of the rules from working in a tavern, but no guarantee that she could win.  After a moment, Aure thought of a good way to take up time, hopefully.<span style="color: Magenta">“actually, there may be something... do you know how to use a blade or some other weapon?  I could use a sparring partner on this trip... and I don't trust any of the men here not to try... 'damaging' my cloths.'”</span><br/><br/>after another moment, Aure thought that this was the best time to ask.<span style="color: Magenta">“umm, I hope you don't mind if I ask a favor of you... the crew seems more scared of you than me or Luna... so, I just wanted to know if you would mind taking the bed between us and the rest of the crew... I don't trust them not to try something at night... and I am not exactly a light sleeper...”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
