"Well, we ate together a few times when I...oh my god!  What are you doing!" She trails off into shrieks and giggles as he throws he over his shoulder and then a louder shriek as he slaps her.  Breathless with laughter she pounds ineffectually on his back until he puts her down.  Once she got herself together a but she smoothes down her skirts and punches him playfully on the chest.  "You're an awful man Trent.  An awful man.  And its only because I" she continues primly "am such a generous and compassionate person that we're going to have lunch."<br/><br/>Say what you will about the captain, there was more than one airship where a female on board would have a very unpleasant time indeed.  Voyages could be long and most crewmen were male - on a lot of ships it was pretty much felt that any female coming on board would get what she deserved.  Not on Captain Steeltooth's ship though.<br/><br/>Oh sure, there was horseplay and it wasn't the first time she'd been hauled over Trent's shoulder but he'd never even let his hand linger somewhere inappropriate - just a playful spank on the ass then straight back down.  Not that she wanted him to of course - goddamit, why was she conscious about her hair again - it was just that he never had.  That's all she was saying.
