<br/>Their teleportation aboard, which Aria thought a delightful idea, earned a ring of startled gasps by the well-heeled mortals and celestials into whose midst they appeared. Then some fellow amongst the crowd made a remark identifying Rose and Aria as those who'd 'salvaged' the ship - Aria didn't recognize him, but perhaps he'd spotted them from the boardwalk earlier, or word had gotten around - and several others replied with murmurs and scattered applause. An adolescent boy on board took the opportunity to throw about yet another few flyers.<br/><br/>"Huh," Aria remarked at this last to Rose, "Quite a marketing event, two two marines are earning their shares." She gave Rose a playful stroke at the base of her spine, a brief tugging or flicking motion which would've 'snapped' Rose's pantyline if she had had one under the dress - a knowing and mischievous reference to the fact that Aria had noted back at the room that her companion<em>wasn't</em>.<br/><br/>They'd mingled for but a minute when, a far more masculine hand took hold about Rose's waist entirely from behind. Luneth whispered into Rose's ear, practically nibbling it as his way of welcoming Rose back, "Was below, showing some pegasus-riding richcloak the integrity of the hull - and regaling him with the<em>lack</em>of integrity of the former 'owner's. I've not shown the captain's cabin though. I've been keeping the key here for a rather more meaningful sort of special tour, my tigerlilly."<br/><br/>Aria glanced at Rose and smiled knowingly, also taking a moment to admire the mariner's hair now marshaled back into a ponytail, and his highwayman's outfit of a white ruffled shirt (somewhat conspicuously open to afford a veeing glimpse of a rather nicely rippling chest, the tiefling noticed), black jacket about it, and equestrian thigh-boots.<br/><br/>The tiefling herself was engaging a few other ruffle-shirted worthies with a tale of the pirate battle; she figured maybe it'd help sell the ship, to the sort of men who would delight in telling their chums they commanded a genuine former pirate ship; she could also see the knowledge backfiring but it seemed word had gotten around.
