Corin smiled, pleased to see the familiar face of Nuria making her way up the plank towards the deck of his ship. He smiled warmly, approaching her and reaching out to return the hand shake. "Welcome aboard Ms. Sanchez, I feel safer already" his eye's fell to the rapier at her side, cocking an eyebrow while instantly wondering how good the woman was at using the weapon. Likely quite skilled, and this was not the time or the place to put it to the test.<br/><br/>"You are the first to arrive, please take your pick of any of the bunks beneath the deck" a small chuckle escaping his mouth as he spoke, purposely over exaggerating how much of an honor that it was that she got her choice at the litter.<br/><br/>"As we are not in battle Ms. Sanchez I would like to ask that my crew simply call me by my first name, or Captain if that would make you feel more comfortable. In return I'm going to simply speak to the crew by their first names. I would prefer a more casual atmosphere on the ship as long as we can afford it." His words were simple and backed up with a pleasant tone, however clear enough to illustrate that it was an order, not a request.<br/><br/>Upon initial assessment of Nuria, Corin assumed the woman probably respected being spoken to like a soldier, at least initially by her superiors, rather than a friend.
