As the four came finaly to the docks that shielded the ship from the onslaught of waves upon the open sea, Zedo stared in wonder, surely she had stollen this ship from someone, it seemed a fine ship.  Large enough that a crew of three, even with physical aid of the captain herself would be tasked to raise the sails to the mast head.  But he knew that it could be done, and if noone else arrived to answer her quest for a new crew, then so be it, Drakkan, Jack and Zedo would make sail at first light.<br/><br/>Jack had walked in silence behind them, probably due to his youthful age out of respect for ones who already knew the sea, his choice valid in Zedo's eyes.  It took Zedo off guard when upon reaching the plankway, he jabbered "it's lovely", and ran aboard...off to investigate  for sure.<br/><br/>Drakkan also went aboard, surveying the new ship briefly and then going below, almost as if in a rush to not be seen...also not a worry...they each had a past, and so long as it did not interfear with the present or future, it was proper to allow it...since he was to be first mate, his task was simply to lead what crew there was to do the captain's bidding.<br/><br/>He stood as she explained the arrangements of the berthing availability, seemingly not only a stout ship, more sleek in so many ways than the Zeus he had served on with his father, but one with more accomodations as well...he smiled, his pearly white teeth seeming to glimmer in the darkenss of the evening light.<br/><br/>Turning to face her he again requested a time of privacy...one which would avail him to necessary information as to the destination, the plunder expected, and...the need of more crew members, for it would be difficult for only four to sail the open seas in such a ship.  Another reason in his mind crept slowly through him, this new captain herself...what was she willing to give up of herself to earn his loyalty and labor?  He spoke softly as the glimmer of her eyes took in his image..."Captain, as I have requested, may we have a time in the privacy of your cabin to discuss what is to happen with the ship, the crew, and if you are willing...to openly discuss the expectations you and I each have in our newfound bond as captain and mate?"
