Khy'eras

It was quite satisfactory that he had secured the rest of his whiskey from under her nose, so he was smirking as he headed down to his cabin. As everyone dropped into a chair, he poured them all a glass and slid each of the other's theirs. And of course Cirice had to give a quip for a toast. He snor...

She was demented. Talking to him as if he had never run down a ship before. He really did make a fucking mistake in letting her come along on this voyage. "I'll remind you, Captain, that this is not our first hunt. No need to tell me we have to catch up with them. For now their sails are folded...

From the Heartbroken Sock Inn, a sudden burst of shouting can be heard - moments later, the door crashes open, a burly man barreling through and keeping his eyes pointed downwards, hands out as if chasing something. As he seems to realize his target lost in a crowd outside, he turns to face the door...

Momentarily taken aback - my, here was a pretty face - Khier laughs a bit, and slips a handful of coins from the freshly-stolen wallet, passing them over with a devious smile. "Perhaps a few more, and I'd buy myself a kiss, hm? It could be worth going without a coat for," he chuckles - as ...

It had been maybe three hours since Darius had first claimed his table, and he hadn't yet gotten tired of watching. The clientele of this strange place was constantly shifting, people of all kinds entering and exiting as time went by. He was pretty sure that he'd seen more people in the last three h...

Apparently he was just as bad at being subtle as everyone always said. Stick to what you're good at Darius, his mother's voice rang in his head, Duplicity isn't in your...

Darius watched as she turned and stormed away, feeling a sympathetic ache of his own. He'd thought she was holding back some sort of private pain. He'd been wrong. The expression on her face as she'd looked at him before leaving had been one of sheer agony. Something was very wrong, of that he was s...

"I'm not surprised you haven't seen many like me." Darius replied, leaning back on his hands, a posture taken as much to show no aggressive intent on his part as for comfort. The fact that she hadn't immediately attacked him was a good sign, but there was still pain there, and any creatur...
