Wow... the daughter looked like some old comic she'd read.  Such an innocent girl, a shame really.  Mother though was a bit better at it, but her voice was still a bit shaky...<br/><br/>"You are absolutely right, there is no<em>need</em>for violence, as long as you continue to cooperate." she said, and made a point to put her pistol away, then put the other one into the spring-sheath, which took a couple of seconds "Behave, don't cause me problems, you'll never see those again... okay?  And behave yourself marine!"<br/><br/>She made it a point to shoot the marine a glare, reminding her of what the ship rules were on that matter.  That and because they were hostages; a slightly different thing than what they were used to doing.  Couldn't just use them as fucktoys this time.<br/><br/>"Now, if you'll pardon me for a moment..." she said, and turned to activate the comm system and loudspeaker again "Alright good knights, this is the Captain of the Virtuous Maiden, and if you want your Matron and the lovely Mistress back I suggest you convince the Majordomo to provide me with four-thousand gold worth of gems. gold, and platinum, no House markings.  You have a week from today, and we'll meet south of Hatheril.  I suggest you all start hauling serious ass to get this message sent; wouldn't want anything to happen to the Matron or her lovely daughter, do you?  Now, we'll be off now, good bye loves!"<br/><br/>And with that the gal at the helm would know to get them the hell out of there.  Once she felt the ship lurch into motion, it was time to address the ladies again...<br/><br/>"See?  No violence." she said with a smile, gesturing in a sweeping motion with her arms "Welcome to your new home for at least a week, maybe more.  Would be a shame to have to kill you if you make this difficult.  You<em>won't</em>be making this difficult on me now, will you?"
