<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 had kept his golden eyes steady and focused on Captain Sarafina's eyes during the thick tension. Unwavering and resolute. Aaron may be carefree dreamer, but he knew what was right and wrong in his heart and when faced situation where he has to make choice in-between, he sticks on it and places his full unwavering will behind it and it's usually guided by his passion in his heart which intensity has caught more than once folks off guard. He felt relief when Captain Sarafina moved her hands off from her blades and clapped slowly....a confusion struck on Aaron and upon hearing her words it made Aaron ponder did Arano ask her do it....test his resolve? Or was her attempt to take<em>Yuuki</em>been genuine or both?<br/><br/>None the less her words made Aaron bit blush....compliment from such seasoned captain should not taken lightly considering the situation where they were just in. But still it surprised him. As she departed and waved her hand, her words made....Aaron feel good. As he had always thought Arano as his father figure but he never had voice him call Aaron as his son....but perhaps this is indeed recognition by him beyond the grave. Even if it's not official, in spirit it is. Also Captain Sarafina's words confirmed further he is indeed captain of this vessel....and he sensed stares from others on him and he felt responsibility of the captain now fully sink to him....albeit carefree sort he accepted the duty and it did not feel bad as he thought it to be....rather exciting in truth to able roam now in own ship instead be always the helpful passenger.<br/><br/>His reverie was awakened up by shipmaester's laughter and shout and saw that he had taken off the ropes....and<em>Yuuki</em>already started drift slowly away from the shore by the waves and winds! As the mad gnome moved off he shouted after him;<strong>"Thank you for repairing Yuuki shipmaester!"</strong>Then Bonnie shows up on the deck and he sees her companion, a impressive creature indeed, her slap and her words did remind what he has to do as captain; give orders. It felt strange, but someone has to do it and he had been given the role....so he must play his part in the crew which indeed had made Yuuki ready to depart to skies....but without command Yuuki is piece of floating wood in ocean, a piece of wood with no purpose nor direction....so that's a<em>true</em>captain's duty than just shout orders. Besides having resolve to seek direction, even if not clear nor sure of where winds will carry on.<br/><br/>Aaron smiles to Bonnie and says; "Give helmsman Shan Zuk the course Bonnie! Course towards elemental plane of air and towards White Jade Tower!" Yuna, his pseudodragons leaps off from his shoulder and starts fly around....barking? Perhaps Yuna is barking some orders as well or just excited as Aaron is to take into skies? Aaron looks on Taluya and says to her; "Climb up to crow's nest and keep lookout for us Taluya, do not want ride blind to storm cloud!" Aaron himself goes to handle the ropes, loosening them up so the aerial flight fins are open and ready to catch wind and he opens the sails which instantly start buff up and catch the restless wind into sails. He moves to the door which leads to below decks and shouts into below;<strong>"Mikhail! Turn on the engines on full power, we are taking off into air now!"</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aaron rolls profession:sailor for handling the ropes (he rolled a 19 for that (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=72275)) while leaving navigation to Bonnie and Shan Zuk handle the driving of the ship according course given to him. Taluya should climb up to crow nest or it's equivalent in Yuuki to keep eye out for trouble and Mikhail handle turning on the engine full power and active (which will be then handled by Shan Zuk to get Yuuki into air properly). Also Aaron uses Still Water/Air performance (part of perform:oratory, shouting commands) to reduce difficulty DC any tasks on the ship (climbing on mast, keep balance, navigate course, profession:sail, fly checks etc) by -5, to minimum DC 10 (penalty reduction is equal bard level but as aasimar he has +1 to it and +1 to inspire courage as part of favored class bonuses). Aaron continues performance for 10 rounds so it extends to 1 hour the buff.</div></div>
