The light shifting of the wolfgirl's cloak had caught the elf's interest as he saw an enticingly generous amount of skin that just barely remained in the realm of being tasteful.  But it was her remark that inspired the wolfish grin that shown a sliver of his pearly teeth.<strong>"Oh, don't get me wrong lass, I could certainly give it a solid attempt, but you clearly underestimate just how much alcohol I have supplied for us on this voyage.  It would be an unforgivable and foreboding travesty should my footing fail me while ascending the loading ramp with the chest in my arms sending both of us crashing into the water below.  If it were me alone, I could certainly find the humor and entertainment in it, but to lose all this booze to the unforgiving ocean before we even pulled away from port would be an appalling loss for the entire crew and could potentially harm their morale.  It is such a risk I dare not take for the sake of flaunting my masculinity in front of a few beautiful ladies such as yourself."</strong>He specifically shot the wolfgirl a playful wink.<strong>"There will be plenty of time for that once we are out at sea."</strong>
