[QUOTE="Queenie, post: 7080501, member: 8058"] Katerina slowly pet the monkey on her shoulder as she thoughtfully considered the man next to her. She had barely known him what - a day - and here he was proving that his senses were keen. She'd been keeping a lot of her intuitions to herself, not knowing who yet to trust. Her trust was extremely difficult to earn in the best of cases and this thrown together crew was [i]far[/i] from “the best.” Yet… There was, of course, her protector and guardian, her Opa, Old Zef. She trusted him with her life. Because she had known him literally her entire life, he'd been there for her birth. The girl, Nia Steeleyes, the sea witch. Katerina couldn't put her finger on it, but there was something peculiar there she couldn’t put words to. Something drew her to the woman. Kat was leery that it was some sort of voodoo but her instincts told her it was something else yet to be revealed… Both Flynn and Etienne were completely new to her. Flynn was known to Zef, and therefore mostly given a pass by Kat. She didn't[I] trust[/I] him persay but she didn't not trust him... Etienne was still unproven. Kat knew if this excursion was to succeed she would need to have a small group of dedicated people she could rely on to make decisions in her stead, when she couldn’t, when she wasn’t there or available or just to help her make the choices that would affect all their lives. This was going to be critical to their success and she constantly kept her eyes open for the moments that her crew would prove they could handle the pressure just as she was certain they were judging her every move as well. Blaise had so far proven himself in battle, had shown his keen eye and wit and proven his bravery in standing up to Blackbeard the Pirate.
