"Gods! I see that in addition to being a professional misanthrope you are also an arcanist, grandfather dwarf. I shall endeavor to prove myself to you and the good Doctor on our joint venture then. And I shall make sure to watch out for sudden clouds above my head!"The manager of Blackreef's Tavern, a dwarven lass with braided blonde locks named Ulsta van Djik, comes by with a rag while making her rounds, a rosy irritated expression on her face. "Now, I don't care if you're older than the whole port of Nassau, Jozef, but I'll not be having me floors made a mess of!" She tosses the rag to the very wet Hugo Van Haan. "Go on, clean yourself up!"[OOC]Gunner Teague - Wisdom (insight), Latvian mercenaries trustworthiness: The Latvian men certainly look and act like battle-hardened mercenaries of the sea: Swearing, drinking, giving the wenches grief, arm wrestling, and boasting of past battles. The leader of the group appears to be the muscle-bound one called Gvido Berzins. Whether or not they are trustworthy, however, remains to be seen.Gunner Teague - Wisdom (insight), Badouin's ideal: There is an intelligence and a depth to Badouin's eyes that convinces Teague the man's motives for taking to the sea are almost spiritual.[/OOC]* * *du Tourbillon smiles faintly when Barrington describes him as an angel, pursing his lips and giving a nod confirming their negotations have come to a natural close. Greater angels, lesser angels. He concedes the concern Katarina has raised about self-defense, agreeing oddly enough with Barrington, "Oui, Messiuer Barrington you are correct. A captain must defend her ship, no matter whose flag the aggressor wears. I find your terms of reassurance, the adding of two extra shares should my proviso be disregarded, to be agreeable. And I shall take into serious consideration your offer of adjusting the constitution, allowing you and your fellow officers to confer on the matter. I wouldn't want you to be distracted by other fish in the sea, of course."Taking a long draw on his cigar, du Tourbillon speaks thru the smoke. "I think we understand each other well and have reached an accord, no? I shall draw up a rough draft of our contract tomorrow and have it sent to you for your review, Madame du Corazon. In the meantime, while you seek out a ship, I am staying at the Colonial Hotel should pressing matters arise." There is no hurry in his voice, and for a moment he watches the storm rumbling in the distance, which seems to be holding just outside of Nassau bay. "Well, shall we rejoin your officers inside for a toast to our joint venture?" He rises and gestures politely for Katarina and Barrington to go first.</blockquote>
