"You know, I can respect that, the professionalism.  But trust me when I say you'll love the rest of the crew, and you'll probably have no qualms with them." she said, and a brow raised as she brings up the barnacle scraping "Only if we hit a flying barnacle.  Obviously you've been on a sea ship.  This won't be too hard of a transition then."<br/><br/>The last part of course was... enticing.  Yes, Doxi was going to enjoy having the dwarf around.  But what to have her do, what to have her do...?<br/><br/>"Well, for now just arrange for that runner to go tell your employer's your done, and come back here.  Have a look around, pick out a cot or a hammock that isn't taken already - I'm the only one with a full room to myself on this ship - and feel free to speak with anyone of the crew, but no sex, not until I have you first.  The paladin you saw leaving is going to be joining too since I have the budget for it, and both of you will likely be working together as marines.  And no, neither one of you will outrank the other, I promise you that."<br/><br/>Once the dwarf was dismissed to her own free time, until Cassie got back anyway, Doxie would take a seat at the map table and prop her legs up, closing her eyes and relaxing.  Decided she was going to put her mind to work on how to initiate both of her new marines at the same time... lots of ideas on how to do that too...
