Darill grinned at the offer. “No, thanks. Got one o’ my own just finished and, well, she’s itchin’ to fly herself, so, I’m afraid I’ll have to politely decline.”

The pirate pouted for a split second, slightly disappointed before returning to her kind grin. “Ye don’t mean an airship right? Why not a sea vessel? No better breeze be than a sea breeze!” 

She laughed and shook her head. “A kind enough offer, but the sky’s where I belong. Nothin’ quite as freein’ as an airship. Watch the world go by beneath ya, nothin’ to get in yer way…”

Welcome there!

Ye be needin’ a ship to help get ye places? 

-smiles widely-

Darill grinned at the offer. “No, thanks. Got one o’ my own just finished and, well, she’s itchin’ to fly herself, so, I’m afraid I’ll have to politely decline.”

“The Falcon!” Darill exclaimed as she smashed a bottle of rum against the bow of the airship, officially re-christening it.  This was the first time since the crash that she’d brought the ship into the light of day. This would be its first flight again.  She dismissed the thought of waiting for a full crew and readied her bird for a solo flight around town. Just enough to test her airworthiness, then she would be satisfied.

She grinned and turned towards him. “You interested? How much you know about flyin’ a ship, cuz what I really need right now is a good first mate.”

“Cinna and Baku taught me all they knew. I can fly with the best of them.” A small grin crossed his lips. “Anything I don’t know, I’m quick to learn.”

“Falcon’s the best ship out there, I’ll have you know. You take care o’ her and she’ll take care o’ you, understand? She don’t take too kindly to strangers, but hang in there, she’ll come around…”

“Even if I spent my life thievin’ every day, I’d never rack up enough to buy my own airship. Only reason boss ever had one is ‘cause he had a small army of thieves bringing in plenty of gold and jewels.”

“Well, alright,” she said, throwing her coat on as she stood up. “Guess I’ll just have to find me a crew elsewhere, then…”

“Hold on!” Reaching out he grasped the sleeve of her coat. “Why didn’t you say you were looking for a crew?”

She grinned and turned towards him. “You interested? How much you know about flyin’ a ship, cuz what I really need right now is a good first mate.”

“Nah~ Just figured it was time to be moving along. Couldn’t stay in one place forever.” Despite his effort to stay aloof, there’s a heavy sadness in his eyes. “I’m too adventurous to live a life stealin’ from the same cities over and over.”

She looked him over. He seemed like a decent sort of person… Well, decent enough for a thief.  And she knew what it was like to be stranded in one place all alone. She always had been a sentimental sort.  ”Sounds to me what you need is a ship,” she said quietly as she brought her glass back up to her lips.

Darill quirked a brow as the barmaid brought over two more drinks. “You sure about that?” she asked, taking a gulp from her glass. “I know what ya mean, though… Seems like Lady Luck’s been missin’ fer a while now…”

He nodded and twirled his glass around before pushing it towards the other. “I grew up in a troupe of thieves. This is the first time I’ve been on my own so it’s takin’ some getting used to. Guess they’re the ones who had all the luck.”

She looked at the glass and let it sit, instead shifting her gaze up towards him. “You get kicked out ‘er somethin’? Get caught stealin’ from the cookie jar?”

Zidane grimaced and carefully pushed the glass away. “Not much of a drinker, it’s rare I can afford to, livin’ on my own I need to stay sharp, ya know?”

“Thief’s life sounds dreadful,” she said, motioning for another drink.  ”Give me a pirate’s life any day!”

“Lonely thief life is pretty terrible, but lady luck hasn’t exactly been kind to me lately.” Waves the barmaid down and nods towards the empty glasses as he speaks.

Darill quirked a brow as the barmaid brought over two more drinks. “You sure about that?” she asked, taking a gulp from her glass. “I know what ya mean, though… Seems like Lady Luck’s been missin’ fer a while now…”
