"Hmm...I'd guess that I watch schedule would be useful if we were to use it, though I haven't really set one yet. The crew knows when to stay awake, and we'll need at least two spellcasters, myself included, to man the helm each day, but you need not worry about that, I guess. Would you like to help with the watch order?"

"No, Captain-sama, I would not presume to take such responsibility from you," Yuriko replied. "I must apologize that I am not able to converse in many languages, which would make it very difficult to organize such things. Perhaps the one called Diedrik would be more appropriate. He seems to speak well with the others. I could help him with the watch order, but I think he retired for the evening already."

Yuriko stifled a yawn in the middle of her explanation. She considers herself unworthy of such an honor as helping to organize the watch order for the ship.[/SBLOCK]

"Well, you speak Eldish beautifully, and that's probably enough to communicate with most of the others on the ship, I'd imagine. Perhaps I will ask Diedrik about it later, if you'd prefer--I spoke to him earlier tonight."

"You know, you look very tired, Yuriko. I know it is late, so I hope you aren't staying awake because of me if you need rest."[/SBLOCK]

"You know, you look very tired, Yuriko. I know it is late, so I hope you aren't staying awake because of me if you need rest."

"I do not mind, Captain-sama," Yuriko explained. "I did not want to be remiss in my duties on the first night of my arrival here. If I have no further duties this evening, I would retire, but if you would like for me to watch for a while . . . or to keep you company, I can do that as well."

*Yuriko tried to get a read on how martially competent the Captain was, perhaps what her trade was.*[/SBLOCK]

"Well, I don't want to keep you awake with duties if you are tired, but if you'd like to stay to keep me company, that would be nice too, Yuriko. Oh, and you can just call me Talia...truth be told, I'm not all that used to being a captain, so it still seems stiff to call me by that title instead of my name."

*By Yuriko's estimation, Talia isn't a warrior, and Yuriko's exposure to the ship that took her from Xarata indicates that the one who mans the helm, as Talia is doing now, generally has arcane powers.*

"Very well, Talia-sama," Yuriko replied somewhat stiffly, as though she were getting used to the words. "Thank you for the offer to stay with you for a while, sadly, I should not remain . . . perhaps tomorrow evening if you do not mind. I am somewhat tired, and I am uncertain how long it will take to get to sleep in this different environment. Once I am certain there will be no trouble I will be able to remain here longer with you. If I cannot sleep I will return to 'keep you company.' "

OOC: While I could probably stay, other others are getting itchy, and I want everyone to enjoy your great GMing and storytelling skills! [/SBLOCK]

*Talia nods.*

"Very well then, have a pleasant sleep Yuriko, and I'll see you tomorrow."

[SBLOCK=Diedrik]*Diedrik stays up on the deck, gazing out into Wildspace as he mans the sails and the ship moves on, not yet as tired as the others who have gone to bed thanks to his late wake-up this morning. After a while, he notices Valyssa talking to Mobility over across the deck. A while later, the two of them head belowdecks, leaving Diedrik alone with the other crewmen and big Gaius. Eventually, Diedrik's shift begins to draw to a close, and he starts to think about getting some rest.*[/SBLOCK]

"Very well then, have a pleasant sleep Yuriko, and I'll see you tomorrow."

"Doma, Talia-sama," Yuriko replied, "May the rest of your evening be untroubled."

Yuriko bowed, then back out and exited the room. Once on deck again, she looked around for anything out of the ordinary on one circuit around the deck. Then she went down to her cabin, intent on getting some sleep.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Yuriko]*Yuriko sees Diedrik and other crew members working on the ship and the big Tralg milling about. Looks like nothing out of the ordinary, at least for this ship.*[/SBLOCK]
