<div class="floatleft">(http://www.asiafinest.com/chinese/gif/jetli.gif)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Alumaya Élathrasur<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Aboard, top deck<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Valarian, Open<br/><hr/><br/><br/>Unlike the rest of the crew, enchanted with the newcomers, Alu stood icily aside, his mind occupied, disturbed. He had always been credited with a small gift of foresight, never substantial, but it was something that his kind were known for, or so he had been told. His mind was mostly on the man underneath the deck, in fetters, but he didn't quite understand why the other woman, another apparent criminal, wasn't put in fetters too. The Captain had her soft spots, doubtless, but she was a strong Captain, and he would give his life for her if she asked or needed it. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little cheated that one of his own kind was locked up, while one of hers was allowed to walk the ship freely. Granted, Corran had been a bit uncautious of his manner of boarding the ship, he supposed.<br/><br/>He shouldered himself off of the wall om which he was leaning, tilting his head as he was instructed to guide the new girl down to the bottom of the ship, show her where he worked and how he cooked. If she wasn't used to the open sea, it would take her a few days to get her ocean-feet, and thus would not be trusted with knife or pot, not if he could help it. He smiled thinly, scowling a bit at the same time, as the Captain knew that he liked working alone.<br/><br/>"She can help with the cleaning," He grunted," But you're dreaming if you think I'm gonna trust her with my gear," He said darkly, looking over to the girl, eyeing her up and down. She was shorter then him, which felt a bit odd, considering most humans tended to be taller than he was, but that was of no consequence. Once the Captain turned away he came closer to her, growling," Look, little one, she may be the captain of this ship, but once we're in my kitchen, it's my game, my gear, and my rules. Stay out of my way and learn fast if you wanna stay, if not, there's plenty other stuff to do on the boat," He chuckled," If she don't like that, she can toss me overbo..."<br/><br/>The ship rocked and all Alu could hear for a long while was ringing in his ears. It didn't keep him from reacting, his hands flickering out, one gripping a rope attached to the mast and gripping it with an iron-hard grip, the other holding onto Valarian to keep her from going overboard," Not bloody yet," He yelled, unable to hear himself. He couldn't hear the captain's orders, but he knew what to do. He rushed over to the anchor, telling Valarian to get below decks, as Dalen beat him to the Anchor. He moved in behind him, careful not to unbalance the little man while helping him pull.<br/><br/>"Drop the bloody sails!" He called.
