James begins the offered tour of the ship? upper decks, his elbow held out in a gentlemanly fashion for the foxy to hold onto. An ever so slight frown appears on his features at hearing she is the daughter of Lord Charles Foxsho the third. ?orgive me madam Foxsho, but we did not receive word that any members of such an influential family were to be booking passage aboard the Grosvenor.?He looks at her apologetically, knowing that what he is about to say might not go down well with her. ?nd I feel I must apologise, Madam. I? afraid that a private cabin is rather hard to come by aboard ship, if we had received word in advance, then perhaps we could have arranged something. However, it would be my pleasure to introduce you to the Captain. I? sure he would be pleased to arrange more suitable lodging for an influential lady such as yourself.?r<br/><br/>As James speaks, he continues to escort Anastasia around the ship, pausing now and then to give the odd order or two. Around them, the crew is busy readying the ship for departure. It would very soon become more than apparent that James was not just a dashing young wolf who happened to look pretty in uniform. He was competent and proud; well mannered yet stern. He was a wolf that had served as an officer in the royal navy, and he knew his job perhaps better than most of the other officers aboard the Grosvenor.<br/><br/>A casual glance over toward the gangway, and James spies Silussa as she boards the vessel. He can see that she? carrying her own luggage, like many others who were on this voyage to seek their fortunes or perhaps meet their fate; for many never survived a prolonged voyage at sea. It was just the way things were in this day and age. What does stand out about Silussa is the smile on her lips, where most other newcomers were either neutral, weary, or just plain nervous about the voyage ahead. In a way, James found the smile refreshing, but he wondered how long that smile would last once the ship was under way, where the waves of the high sea tended to bring on sea sickness. James does note that she appears to be waiting for something, perhaps waiting for someone to welcome her aboard ship other than the officer tending to the ships register. He was sure one of the crew would do so soon enough, and perhaps show her below decks, where she will stow her luggage and stay throughout the journey.
