She swallowed hard, knowing that she was caught in another death trap but this was more preferable than a hangman’s noose. So instead of letting panic take over, she left she moved in further, her hands still in the air in a submissive gesture that she hoped would glean favour. She was trying desperately to fight of the rising panic.<br/><br/>Her heart thundered in her chest for she knew that she had nothing to lose and that the people on board may not be as welcoming as she would expect. Her brown eyes, were wide with fear and anticipation of what was to come. She had noted that there was another woman who seemed to have arrived before her and wondered if this was a passenger ship. She had no coin to her name and she would have to offer her labour as payment, though she had no idea what labour one offered on a ship like this one.<br/><br/>The man spoke to her and she noted his tone, friendly on the onset but there was an underlying something, judgement? She was used to that, living the life she had for so long. She had, had enough bruises and injuries to explain away, but this had nothing to with that anymore. She was here with a purpose and so she moved as instructed further along until she was finally at the centre of the deck.<br/><br/><strong>“Whom do I speak to about safe passage?”</strong>she asked, knowing that it wasn’t him. While he looked like he was official, he held no authority and she needed to see the Captain<br/><br/><strong>“May I see the Captain to garner passage to safety?” </strong>She queried again, avoiding his tone all together. She was desperate and desperate times called for desperate measures. She studied the deck noting that while it wasn’t the most opulent ship, it was well looked after and obviously a means to get to where she needed to be and that was far away from there as quickly as possible. She gave him a smile and waited for him.<br/>
