The kitsune looked to the side at the words, his cheeks taking on a slight hue of pink at the warm and friendly welcome. "T-thank you, yes I'm the navigator."<br/>His ears perked up as Icarus introduced himself. "It's good to meet you Icarus, yes no bad blood at all, it makes for poor decision making during the chaos of sailing. I'm Namataki by the way, the other I came with is my younger sister Miyaro."<br/><br/>Namataki's ears perked upwards at the mention of going up north and questioning what to expect. His tone of voice changed right away as he became seriously engaged in his work. Taking out a large chart he spread it forth near the wheel. "Well as you know until recently passage to the north was impossible, frankly I would of preferred to head south towards the chain of islands. However it is what it is."<br/><br/>Walking over to the front stern of the ship he took out a few tools and began to mount his sextan. Looking over it for several moments to make sure the alignment was correct. Satisfied with the tool in place he returned to Icarus. "The area is uncharted, honestly I'm not sure what to expect." Looking at his land charts as he made a few notes he continued to speak. "Logic would dictate that if we are traveling north then we can expect to encounter a drastic climate change as we move on, possibly severe wind chill and icing on the balloon. this could strain the engine and even reduce our altitude."<br/><br/>Tilting his head to the side he muttered to himself as he continued to work on the charts while his tails whipped about rapidly. "On the other hand we could be at the lower portion of just one temperate line, it's entirely possible we could end up heading into a more tropical region as well." The fox trailed off out of common and began to speak to himself in Senzarian. After a few more moments he snapped back to reality and shot a glance over at the helmsman. "Oh! Sorry, at anyrate I'm not sure what to expect, however I've flown in several types of climates, if we run into something I think is a problem I will let you know what we need to do right away."<br/><br/>He looked over seeing two more people clammer onto the ship but paid it no mind as he went back to his charts. "I will also be making maps as we explore the new areas along with wind charts, these will prove useful to others who make the journey and might end up putting my name somewhere useful instead of on the wanted list of an angry husband or father."
