Orion listened intently to what the guard, sorry the first mate said. He also noticed that the others where boarding without commenting in any material way.<br/><br/>He smiled, “Well I think I speak for the others in accepting that you will sail the ship whilst we do our best to stay out of the way.” That dealt with he turned to face Sian and bows, “I am Orion, a minor mage and a seeker of magical knowledge.”<br/><br/>Orion winked, “As for what we will be facing that I guess will be half the fun because there seems to be a lack of information about where we are going. However I always console myself with the thought the bigger they are, the more interesting things they guard.<br/>Now I would suggest that we board the ship as I seem to recall that sailors are always concerned about catching the tide.”<br/><br/>He inclined his head in a respectful bow and then boarded the ship heading for the men’s area. Once there he selected an unoccupied spot and put away his belongings. Once that was done he headed up to the deck to lean against the railing, where no doubt the others would gather. He was quite looking forward to getting to know them.<br/>
