Valspan was the one to call when cargo needed to be moved. He wasn't fast, but he was damn steady, capable of moving tons of cargo with ease and a smooth grace that those rare others of equal strength couldn't match. While the others went off to meet with the 'big wig', Valspan was left in charge of the ship because his vines could reach nearly aft to prow on the much much smaller ship. If(when) someone tried to sneak aboard to steal something, they'd basically be feeding themselves to the ever hungry tree man.<br/><br/>Not to mention Evelyn needed to settle into her new haunt, having been trapped within a box, within a cabin in the belly of the large ship for close to...centuries. The dragon kept her under as much wraps as he could manage, even if she managed to get out a play a few 'pranks' on the crew every dozen years or so, it was almost like being set free of her prison to be able to explore another ship. She wanted to explore the town, but Valspan was dutiful and explained that someone would come to them, so she relented and explored the ship with his assistance.<br/><br/>Soon the first pair of mischief makers jumped over the edge of the ship, winged creatures both, gliding down onto the deck silently as they'd seen the ship being loaded with goods from afar, and subsequently being left apparently unguarded. One was a gargoyle like creature, with demonic features and wings independent of his arms, while the other was more 'man-bat' like, what Valspan would assume it would look like if he ever met a humanoid bat. His vines entrapped the two almost instantaneously, and Evelyn giggled with delight. Valspan was so smart!<br/><br/>The two were dragged screaming for help into the hold of the ship, where their screams continued for quite some time, only drowned out occasionally by devilishly delighted bone chilling laughter.<br/><br/>As Valspan and Evelyn had 'fun' with the intruders below deck, the ice dragon stood on deck, on guard for more intruders. Her eyes were still vacant of...something, but she seemed alert, and she responded to Valspan's instructions, but anyone else trying to catch her attention would be ignored entirely. Valspan had instructed her to listen to Sin, but anyone else could literally smack her and she wouldn't react, so long as it didn't interfere with whatever orders Valspan had given her. She was practically a zombie, though by all physical accounts she was fine, only some minor chemical burns from her days inside Valspan that were quickly healing.
