A stifled chuckle escapes the neko's lips, upon hearing that Chira had already disposed of the remains of the soldiers she'd eaten the night prior. Her digestive system truly was a force to be reckoned with, and Xarius, cannot help but play out how the scene must of unfolded in his head. Chira standing on the deck of the ship, rear facing the water, hooves bracing, as her tail is held high. The piping hot remains of the soldiers squeezing from her equine rump, only to be unceremoniously jettisoned down into the frothing water below.<br/><br/>"Aww already? And here I thought you'd wait for me to witness their burial at sea." The paladin replies with a playful little pout. "Bet they made quite the splash when they hit the water no?" he continues, staying in good spirits despite her taking offense to his previous compliment. "and I didnt mean to offend Chira honestly. I'm quite thankful you were on our side. If I ever had to face you in combat no matter the reason I'll get a front row seat of just what it feels like to be squeezed out that powerful rear of yours. I mean, by the gods Chira, everything about you is strong isnt it! I truly mean it when I say you did amazing yesterday! How many soldiers did you beat..and then eat? Way more than i took down I wager." he genuinely compliments her, voice as confident and upbeat as ever. It seems a night out of chains had done the paladin well, and the first day of their new found freedom left him even more upbeat than usual.<br/><br/>"and yeah.." Xarius takes a step back, shamefully rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry guard duty was solely left on you, that isn't fair,  for anyone. Especially after all the injuries you sustained in the battle." the paladin reaches out to gingerly run a finger along the edge of one of her more worn and long standing scars. "Tell ya what, I'll make it up to you! I'll pick ya up something while I'm in town." he offers, Chira having agreed to stay with the ship already. "Whatever you want, within reason of course. Sweets, Food, flowers you name it! Weapons and aromor are already on the list, though if you've a preference there I'll do my best. Of course if you'd rather I stay here with you, and spend the time the others shop massaging out all the tension in your body from standing guard all night..." he shoots her a flirty little grin "and dont you dare tell me my hands didn't feel good the couple of times i've healed you already!" The neko adds, reaching down to playfully rub the side of her tummy once more, before leaving those thoughts to linger in her mind.<br/><br/>Seeing Delia for the first time since their battle caused the felines heart to tighten in his chest. In the light of the morning sun, she truly was breath taking to behold. And the way the bulge in her belly shifted and swayed with every step caused no small amount of arousal to stir within the paladin's loins. When he approached and began conversing with her, such facts became all the more truthful. "Sweat and old ale eh...the most romantic of bed chambers." The neko teases, offering a little glance back at Mona as Delia brings her into the equation. "You know I coulda helped you with that one, Mona certainly enjoyed my handiwork...as did the soldier who found his way into her belly." he openly teases, kneading his hands vigorously into the gurgling bulge as Delia hugs tightly against his body. Xarius is surprised to see the mage inside is still alive. The fact she'd endured this long was quite impressive. Of course he had no way of knowing if that was due to her personal resilience or just how Delia's body worked, having only Mona to use in comparison.<br/><br/>With Delia hugging at his side Xarius listens to her declaration to the crew. While he'd of personally preferred to take even more of their haul, he wasn't about to argue over the arrangement at this stage, he just wanted off the ship. The neko glancing over the edge, down into the shimmering water below would catch sight of a tail or some sort slipping beneath the surface. What ever it could be he had literally no idea, though his interest was certainly peaked. Of course he had no way of actually finding out, and could only imagine and speculate. Though not a sea faring sort by nature, Xarius had heard enough stories as to the sorts of creatures that made their home beneath the waves. Some sounded breathe taking, some curious, and others downright frightening. The one thing he was pleased they all seemed to have in common however is that, so long as he stayed on land, and they in the water, he had no reason to worry about them! and Xarius, was just fine keeping it that way.<br/><br/><br/>Fresh off his interaction with Delia, Xarius see's to the safe unboarding of his fellow free prisoners. Taking Mona by the hand he leads her down the rickety plank. For her to suddenly stumble and falter, Xarius clutching her tightly only to realize she'd done it on purpose. Her soft gurgley gut presses against him as he sinks more fully into it than the night prior. "Oh you!" jovially scolds her as she twirls away. Only for him to chase after and gently pinch her on the rear.<br/><br/>Once they've all made it safely from the ship, Xarius stretches appreciating the open spaces of the town compared to a cell, or the limited mobility offered by the ships cargo hold. It was good to be back on solid land, the fear of the ship burning down around them, left to drift helplessly at sea, far from his mind.  "I'm sure Delia and I can manage it." Xarius agrees, after hearing Mona's mention of them being charming. He allows the succubus to take the list, walking ahead of the group as looks for a good place to start. "Lets start with that yeah." he nods to Delia "Worse comes to worse though, we can always sell the whole ship, if we need the extra funds to get us going." he agrees with Garth, thankful the half orc had the fore site to add the ship into the equation on the off chance.
