[QUOTE="talien, post: 4006300, member: 3285"] [b]Madness in Freeport - Part 1d: The Sea Lord’s Palace[/b] Vlad caught sight of Thuron and Captain Baldric chatting together at a table. With a nod, he advanced towards them. “Nay dancin’ me boy?” asked Baldric with a crooked grin. “Thar’s plenty o' pretty lasses, ye ought be ou' on th' floor!” Vlad shook his head. “I prefer a battlefield to a dance floor any time.” He took a seat next to them. Thuron smiled, but it was a strained smile. “Youth is truly wasted on the young.” “Ye got that right!” hooted Baldric. He elbowed the ssanu-in-disguise in the ribs. Thuron didn’t look too pleased. Vlad looked over at the Council seats arrayed in the center of the room. “Which seat is yours?” Baldric hushed him. “About that. Listen, lad. I may be havin' overstated me candidacy fer th' Captain’s Council. I thought I had a lock on 't, but now thar’s an e'en greater chance that I might get th' position.” Vlad took a sip of a wine glass that a servant placed in front of him. “How?” “Ye know,” Baldric whispered, “now that one o’ them be gone.” He raised his voice when Thuron looked over. “Nay t' speak ill o' th' dead, praise be Yarris!” Vlad shook his head. “Politics.” “It is said that in politics,” said Thuron, “your enemies can’t hurt you, but your friends can kill you.” Baldric laughed nervously and changed the subject. “This party’s very important fer me, lad. If I’m seen wi' th' right swabbies, 't could help me get th' position. So don’t…ah, me good matey Hector! Come sit wi' us!” A swarthy fellow with a curly, black beard and hair in a red frock coat sat down with them. He had a gold earring in his right ear as well as on each of his fingers. “Baldric me old friend!” He plunked himself down and ordered a drink. “This here be Captain Hector Torian,” said Baldric. “He’s th' captain o' th' Silver Ghost.” “And what do you think of Drac’s lighthouse?” asked Vlad with frank curiosity. Hector took a swig of a mug. “I owe me seat on th' Captain’s Council t' Drac.” He slammed the mug down on the table. “He helped me get th' position twelve voyages ago when he be a nobody. But eyeball th' lad now!” He took in the room’s festivities with the sloshing mug. “You don’t think it’s draining too much money from the government’s coffers?” “Ever' investment requires some cash up front.” Hector slurped again from his mug. “Wi' th' trade th' lighthouse ought t’ generate, we’ll make 't back in nay time!” Thuron crossed his arms. “The blood of the innocent does not wash easily from coins, no matter how many times they change hands.” Baldric shoved a mug in front of Thuron’s face. “This one’s on me,” he said in grim tones. “Yarris knows we both need it.” [/QUOTE]
