<strong>Elaine</strong><br/><br/>Elaine groaned out loud as she felt the air blow over her skin, causing her to roll around onto her backside as she slowly started waking up.  The girl had never been a very good morning person and the responsibilities that she had started to receive in the past two years of her life after schooling only made it worse.  Regardless, as she came to, she slowly sat up..only then realizing that the girl sleeping next to her had stolen the blanket in her sleep.  Elaine rolled her eyes...she was starting to hate sleeping in the commons with all the unclaimed people, thinking to herself that she needed to buy out a room on one of the many airships tethered to the Cloudweaver.<br/><br/>Standing up after allowing her mind to clear of the fog of sleep, Elaine let out a long yawn before stretching and reaching up her arms to the low ceilings and getting up on her tiptoes.  All around her were the still quiet rooms of those that were only starting to awaken as well.  Similar to most of them, Elaine herself didn't wear that much to bed, preferring a simple pair of comfortable fitting shorts and a well fitted bikini top herself.  As she glanced around, the sleepy girl then noticed one of the other dormitory residents - Pagusa - make her way out.  It was only then that she realized she was about to be late for the foraging trip since she realized Pagasa was also a member of the group.  Her eyes went wide in surprise before she quickly pulled on a pair of clean socks, tennis shoes, and a small shortbow and quiver that clipped to her belt and then ran out to see if she could still make it in time.<br/><br/>Being only 20 years old, Elaine was somewhat of a misfit on the ship.  The youngest of the gathering party, the girl tended to not have many friends aside from younger children still protected on the ship or the older adults who she liked to listen tell stories of the Old Times.  Because of her age, she had only joined the gathering party a few years ago - after she had come of age - and was still largely inexperienced, especially in comparison to the other people in the group.  In addition, because she was an orphan that girl did not have a family or mini-airship to call her own.  She had grown up living in the cramped and dirty dormitories with the rest of the people that lacked their own ships.<br/><br/>She ran past the common bath area only moments after Pagasa herself had stepped onto the ship's deck, not even bothering to wash her face as she made her way.  She was still busy trying to walk quickly and pull on her shoes as she walked a few meters behind the older girl.  As she finished getting dressed, Elaine glanced around at the other people already assembled.  Of note, she stood just behind and to the side of Pegasa, yet also saw Delilah, Aurora, and Talon already standing and socializing.  More surprisingly, as Elaine stood catching her breath, she rose an eyebrow in surprise as the captain of the ship came to join them before she stated the obvious out loud,<strong>"...the captain's coming with us down there?  What about the ship?"</strong>Her question went unanswered as the captain and Talon clipped themselves onto the line before dropping down into the dark jungle below.<br/><br/>Elaine sighed, rolling her eyes before sliding on her own harness that pushed up her large bikini clad chest and fitting uncomfortably between her thighs.  However, instead of the males, Elaine waited for Aurora before heading down herself.<strong>"So...I guess we might as well head down and join those two huh?"</strong>
