<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/qTh1MQy.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Marcus Titus<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Common Room,<em>The Lady's Blessing</em><br/><br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Open, Sai<br/><br/><strong>Warning:</strong>None (PG rating).<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Marcus caught the bag of gold with deft grace and bounced it on his palm as he stood up from his seat and walked over towards the proprietor of the inn.   He passed the bag over with the Captain's words and they were well received, especially when the man announced free drinks for everyone.   Marcus waited there till he had two new pints of ale in hand and walked over to where Sai was.   Marcus did not treat the woman as a slave and indeed went out of his way to teach the girl skills that would make her a valued member of any Star Dancer crew.   In fact some of the Captain' and Marcus wages went towards Sia's bill of freedom.  Another season perhaps two and it would be done.<br/><br/>Macus slid the ale towards Sia and made a gesture to the table before them.<strong>"Come on there Pup.   You know the Captain and the Onmyouji get to talking that they can be at it for hours.   I'll teach ya the ways to detect when a boiler needs ta be looked at before you set sail and what signs to look out for in sails that woill give us trouble once we are out in the Black."</strong>
