Lily coughs and shifts around in Jaku's arms. She looks up at him and gives him as much of a smile as she can muster. "They found you. I" Lilly coughs with a very pained look on her face.<br/><br/>Weakly, she turns her head and reaches her hand out to Tamara.<br/>"Please don't be mad. I've been looking for your kind for years. My grandfather can make a mess sometimes, but he means well, and Captain has been like a father to me since my parents passed away. I don't *cough* want to be a burden, but. You are all so strong, and I think you can help me have a new body. She struggles to sit a little taller, and look at all four of them. "I would like to be like you. But don't get sick too. I understand if... if.. you...cant.."<br/><br/>Lilly passes out in Jaku's arms and he leans in to check her heartbeat, only to look up with a worrysome expression on his face.<br/><br/><br/>All of the sudden, a shouting "Hey!!!" echoes from behind them. Julie, the sailor from before runs down the starboard staircase and dashes over to the group. She huffs and takes one quick glance back at her crew standing on the outboard railing one deck above. "We... We want to help." She pants and rests her hands on her knees for one brief moment before looking back up at Tamara, and then Kellus with a warm smile. "Look. We heard everything, and that girl right there is family to all of us. It would be so wrong to let you take this burden." She glances over at the captain who's stern look fades quickly to a smile that he nods to.<br/><br/>"Lily was born on this ship, she learned all about you here, she's been the best part of this crew. You have to let us all help her. We would all lay down our lives for Lily if we had to without a second thought."<br/><br/>July stands tall and proud next to Tamara, waiting to hear what the serpents have to say.
