"I hope so!" Aria watched the aerial mini-entourage trace across the rosy sky, which imperceptibly darkened with the passing of time, destined in Brightwater to become a dim but not truly dark 'night' which always reminded Aria of the ambiance of a romantic candlelit dinner (perhaps the divine influence of Sune or Sharess). "Especially as he seems richly clad! And here's hoping there are similar worthies socializing at the ship or even doing a bit of appraising or bidding as we speak or soon enough."<br/><br/>She bit her tongue to keep her smile from widening<em>too</em>much when answering, "Ah, hmm, only a brief impression did I get, but since deeds speak for many words, an impression I got. I was rather impressed; even sailing towards a probable pirate ship shows some courage, as raiding and sinking other vessels is just what they do. Though I suppose that would've rather starkly belied its attempts at disguise."<br/><br/>"And if in fact Luneth and Ingus were just hoping for a share of spoils all along, and only sailed out for thought of such, well, I suppose it'd just make them clever, and no baser than my own motives for a certain share of my adventuring, or whose who were along them with me, though I do like to maintain some standards, and find some purpose to it all, when all is said and done."<br/><br/>"I recognized the holy symbol of Valkur, too, one of the Realms' less powerful or prominent deities  - like my own - but popular among the better-hearted seafarers of Luskan, though I regret to mention that the Bitch Queen of the Deep," Aria sniffed, not saying the name Umberlee, "has the far greater share in that pirate port."<br/><br/>"Both fellows seem seemed much more...hmm, rugged than most folk of Brightwater, from what I've seen; more masculine than most of the other menfolk." Almost as if by stage-cue, she saw a dandy of a Tymoran priest traipsing along the far arcade, and she cocked her head meaningfully from him to Rose. "I don't know if you've been there yet, but the men in Sune's quarter are even<em>more</em>amusing....quite handsome a number of them, though, m-hm, and apparently with paladins among their number despite the goddess's chaotic embodiments. Yet outnumbered four-to-one or so by the ladies there, more's the pity. Or not, depending on the lady."<br/><br/>The tiefling sighed wistfully, then her hazel eyes shot to Rose's and she smiled impishly. "Fair's fair, what do<em>you</em>think of those two sailors, lady Longstrider?"
