The captain sighed, "I don't want Arnell to get into trouble, I really don't.  So please don't mis..."  she held up a finger and covered her mouth as she hiccup / burped softly.  "Sorry, don't mistake my actions for wanting to punish him.  He's got great handwriting and is a wiz at paperwork.  That's a hard thing to find around here believe it or not.  Sure there's a boat full of muscular and rowdy men and women who show up from the faded lands every day who are willing to strap on a sword, man a wall, or walk the streets to keep peace for a good wage.  But a precious few who can sit at a desk and go over reports and write them up into cohesive wholes for their superiors night after night.   And don't get me wrong, he's quick too, shy but quick.  He's spotted inconsistencies that lead us to find a drug runner down on the docks.  It's why he and I got promoted up here where it's safer."<br/><br/>She shrugs her shoulders and says, "But the fact is that four of my men walked in on him having sex while on duty.  Now, I could have maybe covered that up or made it a light punishment, but they saw me masturbating while I watched.  So the rumors will spread, and spread quickly.  The only thing I can do is get ahead of them with proper reports of the incident... which will include my involvement.  It's not going to be me that reassigns him, but my superiors.  I'm going to be in just as much, if not more, hot water."<br/><br/>She shook her head, "As for making it worth my while, even if I could do something, I doubt you'd be able to make it worth my while."<br/><br/>She mutters quietly under her breath.  It's so soft that Ylene shouldn't be able to hear it, but her keen elven ears pick up, "No one has been able too in years, fucking reason all I ever do is watch anymore."
