I gave him a once over wondering if he was hairy underneath his clothing.  The blond woman had the nicest bobbed haircut and pretty skin.  I wished I could be as pretty as her.  She seemed to be friendly as well and I looked back at her and met her eyes with a smile.  She was really good friends with uncle Sue as she caressed his arm.  I'd have to ask uncle Sue if they were sleeping together and if I could watch.<br/><br/>I made a curtsy just like I told uncle Sue I would.  My movements were surprisingly graceful and practiced and may have reminded one a bit of Serenity.<strong> "I'm pleased to meet you Keri, Lance and Phil.  My name is Sophie DeLaurents.  I promise not to touch any buttons on the bridge if you will let me come look around.  But if you need any buttons pushed I'd love to push yours." </strong>I turned to Lance and stepped up to him;<strong>"Oh, you are the engineer?  I made really good friends with the engineer on the liner I was on.  I love engine rooms with all the buttons and nobs and big long rods."</strong>I couldn't help but lick my lips a bit as I thought about the rod in that engineroom that took up most of my attention.<br/><br/>I would have talked more but the three I had just met seemed to be in a hurry and uncle Sue too me by the arm again and took me up and into the ship.  I waved good bye to the three and went to meet the rest of the crew.  Girias was another strong one.  I would like him I new.  Richard seemed stern and busy but nice.<br/><br/>I curtsied again to the captain, being sure to lean forward a bit to show off the front of my pretty dress and my chest.  I knew that men liked my chest and I liked that they liked it.<strong> "Pleased to meet you captain.  You have a wonderful ship.  She feels safe and strong and even though she is not as shiny as a nice liner I think she has much more character.  It will be fun!"</strong><br/><br/>Listening to uncle Sue talk to the captain I hoped that he would let me stay a long time or at least until I went back home to aunt Amelia.  Halfway through the conversation I butted in.<strong>"Oh I can clean and sweep and help uncle Sue cook captain. I have the prettiest maid's uniform in my trunk that I can wear while I am worked and a nice apron to keep from getting messy."</strong><br/>
