“That Diedrik would be most enlightening I think, should the opportunity arise,” Zaeryn replies, bowing his head in return.
"So what brings you two on this little expedition into the unknown?" Diedrik asks, "I'm guessing the prospect of strange new discoveries is a tempting lure for intellectuals such as yourselves."
The young Rowaini gentlemen leans back against the railing, seemingly interested to hear what the Altanians have to say.[/sblock]

" And good day to you, Wise One. I am called Gaius, and I cannot remember when last I've heard two people speak the Tongue of my Fathers, although it seems to me you have had help from the Elder Spirits."
* He looks around, confused by the many languages.*
"Sadly, I cannot understand what all the rest is saying. Is there a tongue you all share? I might try to learn some of the basics."
He grins.
"Or everyone else could try to learn Thralg or high Praetorian."
When they are able to comprehend one another, Diedrik seems impressed by the large warrior's response and observation.
"Elder Spirits? Perhaps, I've picked up a few tricks in my travels. I think most, if not all onboard, speak Eldish. If you're up for learning another language I'd recommend it. I'd wager it was well within your ability too, you strike me as being quite keen of mind relative to your brethren," the Rowaini replies honestly.[/sblock]

"Oh, don't worry about me, I've spent much of my recient time away from Rowani as well. I am simply the lady's ... escort is it? Guard? Guide?" He looks over to Vanessa for guidance as to the term she might prefer.
"What ever it is called, I am simply honored to be in her company."
Rystil Arden said:
"Uhh, guide I guess?" Vanessa replies to Kirkesh after considering the options.
Bront said:
"Perhaps partner?" he says, smiling at her and clasping her hand tenderly.
Diedrik smiles understandingly.
"You're a lucky gentleman, Kirkesh. I, however, would wager you are all of those things," he hypothesizes, "Best of wishes, you two. Should you ever be in need let me know, I'm all too happy to help folks from home. Right now though it seems I've some more people to familiarise with. Take care."[/sblock]

"Diedrik-san," Yuriko said with some hesitatation, as if working the idea over in her mind and voice. She bowed slightly to him, acknowledging his respect, but showing herself to consider him an equal. "I thank you for your kind words, Diedrik-san. While I am samurai, I am a humble monk of the Order. However, you speak as though you have some authority on this ship. Are you simply here as an entertainer, or something more?"
Diedrik smiles when addressed as an equal, and inclines his head respectfully, concious of the effort she took to do so.
"Thankyou, Yotsu-san. Considering me your equal honours me greatly," he says, and takes a more casual stance, "To be more exact, I'm here to share the wealth of experience from my travels. I offer a number of useful talents, but in the end I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. I imagine I'll be doing mostly sailor duties during the journey, and make myself useful with other various activities as they apply. Enough about me though, what brings you onto the Hesychia, and a potentially long, boring, and profitless journey?"[/sblock]
