Astrid's eyes narrowed with curiosity when the man mentioned the high born woman on board. She flicked her gaze towards the captains quarters and knew she'd soon be dropping in for a visit. She needed to speak with the woman anyway find out a few details and her position here and such but now she was a bit more eager for the meeting.<br/><br/>As the man started talking, telling his story Astrid listened with a sonic mask over her features. A small smirk graced her lips when he said he'd tried to be nice, somehow she really couldn't picture the man being anything but a bit rough around the edges and gruff in general.<br/><br/>She didn't bat an eye lash as he admitted to cold blooded murder. Some might have been disturbed most probably, Astrid was not among their numbers. How many times had she killed? Too many to count. How many for an actual reason, to protect herself or others? A fair few but not the majority.<br/><br/>She smirked as he asked for a story from her, she never opened up about her past really, things were told about her mostly that she was a cold blooded, deadly, and a man eater, nothing overly endearing or flattering. "Nothing as...flashy as yours." She said modestly, "On the Sea Hawk I was in a good number of sea battles  and the last two years there took care of all...punishments." She said offhandedly with a flip of her hair and a cruel twist to her smirk, "It was a very strict ship." She said putting a note of relish in her voice, an emotion she didn't feel but was perfectly appropriate.
