<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/6TA8vR9.jpg)</div><strong>Lilith Wynne, Human Infernal Mistress</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Miss Noemi, then..."</strong>Lilith says with a knowing smile,<strong>"And you're right... much to celebrate, for we have cheated Death of four rightfully claimed souls."</strong>she said with a grim satisfaction to her voice as she accepted the chocolate and wine.<br/><br/><strong>"And Mr. Black... there is no need for a watch. Sit... relax... this night is not for stress. There will plenty of that tomorrow and the days ahead."</strong>she motions him back inside the tent, opening the chocolate and wine with seeming practiced ease. An idle hand reached into her haversack and produced a box of some modest size. Opening it was a set of four silver chalice cups, sets of cutlery and plates inserted into padded slots for transportation. It looked as if the 'mess kit' was taken from one of the many ships they had raided over the last few years. Ornate, but not overly so... but likely real silver. Keeping the box open, she motions to the two of them seated at her sides as if servants attending their Empress, so the comparison had been made.<br/><br/><strong>"They say it bad luck to drink a fine wine straight from the bottle."</strong>she says, picking up a silver chalice and pouring the first glass for herself, pouring the wine for either of the two who also picked up a chalice. Once done for pouring she corks the bottle and places it in her haversack. As she sips she listens to Noemi describing her skill-set, her moistened lips and silenced stomach calming her slightly, her idle hands breaking off pieces of chocolate and handing them out between the three of them.<br/><br/><strong>"You carry a symbol of Shoni... I had expected the first of your list, and love can conquer many things... but love is also a very dangerous weapon, as you well know."</strong>she gives her a wicked smile.<strong>"For instance... you'll notice Mr. Black's silence and reluctance to be in your presence..."</strong>she says aloud in what possibly was a most awkward moment.<strong>"Lust and Love can tear down empires, or create them anew. They can crush someone's soul, or steel it to face the harshest storms. Bring a mind such peace... or such distraction that they miss the blade behind the back."</strong>she continues her wicked smile at that.<br/><br/><strong>"The tracking of ships, however, was not something I had attributed to you. Such a skill will come in handy once we're well under way. Mr. Black, would you volunteer your skill sets?"</strong>she paused to allow him the time to speak of himself before completing...<br/><br/><strong>"Besides the most obvious, I was Blackbeard's strategic officer when he required it. I lead troops effectively and efficiently. I can kill a man with my bare hands, befuddle the minds of those who hear my voice, and of course... command the powers of hell, the abyss and the realms beyond. I can shift through space at will, let slip blasts of the elements, and as Mr. Redsky does not know, I can heal the wounds of myself and others. I speak Spanish, French and Queen's English and perhaps most importantly for our little venture..."</strong>she extends a hand and the floating fire-gem descends to her palm, allowing her to place it back into her haversack.<br/><br/><strong>"I've the skills to work, organize and run a ship of the sea. So in reality, Blackbeard has done nothing but promote me to Captain."</strong>she smirks at that, her twisted yet keen mind on display more and more as she spoke. Contrary to how she usually acted aboard the Revenge, where her personality tended to be quiet and brutal, this new Lilith seemed quite apt to talk at length.
