<strong>Aaron Windwhisper</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=78943)<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://images2.alphacoders.com/218/218752.jpg)</div>Aaron listened Captain Sarafina and her words, when commenting on the ship he nodded and said; "Indeed,<em>Yuuki</em>is very beautiful. Despite her age she had bored it well and since repairs she looks anew." He feels how various parts of ships turn alive and<em>Yuuki</em>feels ready to take off! He feels glad the things seems go smoothly with others figuring out the secrets of the ship...while he himself had no clue what part he plays in invoking<em>Yuuki</em>to take flight, if he has role at all.<br/><br/>Then things turns rather unexpected direction as Captain Sarafina demands him handing over Yuuki to her?! He notices other crew members in the deck, but after while thinking on his reply (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3jCq9i_PRY) he looks back on Sarafina, calm, not angry nor upset, more in pity if anything else; "No, I will not."<br/><br/>He let his words sink in before he continues; "Without Arano Yuki I would had died, he took me in, a boy without name nor past and he gave me name Aaron. I served as his deck boy, I would had served him as one to till his death if he had not send me to academy to study and learn. I then traveled a lot, seek my past but neither I nor he found any clues, I have no memories where I was born nor who my parents were. But so far as I consider things, I count Arano Yuki close to me as I would count my father."<br/><br/>He looks on the crew members in the deck and he says; "I do not know my crew nor their connections to Arano, but I trust they all had won piece in his heart one way or another. That something in them reminds about himself, as he would had never trust<em>Yuuki</em>to strangers....only to those who have part of himself in them. So he would entrust his most treasured ship to himself in essence." Aaron looks back to Sarafina and he continues; "I would not wish taint Yuuki's virgin departure since the repairs with blood of a friend of Arano, but entrusting me with these ashes is silent confirmation him acknowledging my feelings to him and him returning them in kind after he has died. He had given me great amount of trust accomplish his final wish and I will do so....even if I have to hurt and slay friend of his.<br/><br/>I am sorry for Arano's sake if you feel you haven't not been rewarded for years of loyalty what you had given to him. Where he gave you a good career, he gave me a<em>life</em>. If you wish to take this ship, you have to rob us the very gift he gave to us....but I think<em>Yuuki</em>would never fly under command of such kind captain."<br/><br/>Aaron had his bow but he never reached for it during entire talk. He stood where he was while Yuna looks menacing manner as a pseudodragon can and release sharp hiss towards Sarafina. But not launch attack or such. Aaron waits for Sarafina's move and decision, as Aaron has told what price she would need paid to get Yuuki.....while use his every amount of charisma to convince her that they do deserve the ship even if Sarafina does not know them that well.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aaron rolls for diplomacy with Sarafina to improve her attitude. I assume she is unfriendly now than hostile (as hostile she would had attacked already). Aaron rolls a 28 on diplomacy (awesome roll!)
