Brian smiles at Captain Barrett. "Ah, most sensible person in a position of Authority I've spoken to since I've come to this city who isn't a bartender." He gather's up Lady Shelly's effects. "If any harm befalls here while I do this courtesy to you Captain. You won't regret it long."
He makes his way bellow Deck. One of the people he saw on the deck seems to be Calvera. A name he has heard of. Might be interesting to speak to him.

I take a second glance at the Heavy since he seems to be coming my way. He's still over dressed, so I know I can take him. But he's coming to see me, I can tell by the way he's walking. He wants to see which of us is tougher. I already know so I dismiss him from my full attention and address Lorelei.

They can now hear other people below decks and if Eivor and Kat can hear them, then they will be heard also even in their cabin. At times like this it is probably best not to talk about important things such as the mission where they can be overheard. She passes the crd back.
"Thank you for showing me that." She motions with her head outside the door. "It sounds like the others are getting to their cabins as we set sail. Do all your ship things have such paper thin walls?"

"This is a lesser class of vessel," Eivor replies. "Do not judge us by this poor example of Amber's seafaring traditions."
She cocks her head and listens. "My cousins do like the sound of their own voices. I'm not sure how much rest we will manage on the voyage."
"Do keep the card. You may need it, if we become separated. While the Golden Circle is supposed to be loyal to Amber and its royalty these days I'm not sure."

Kat makes the card disappear quickly into an inner pocket and takes in the names for later reference.
"Do you know much about these Cousins? Are they friendly to you?" She asks.

Lorelei replies, "All forms of government fail when they become bloated enough to insulate themselves from the effect of their rule. If you speak of just us, mutually beneficial agreement is more than sufficient. If you speak of Amber, I prefer not to become directly involved, as what happens there tends to be reflected in Mother's realm..." .

"I know them little enough," Eivor replies. "If you wish to form an opinion of them I'm sure they will be more than happy to regale you with tales of their adventures."

Katerina considers the Warrior Goddess' words. She obviously did not hold a high opinion of them else she would have said so. Letting them regale her of their adventures was never a bad idea. People she found liked to talk about themselves and it helped them relax in her company. Details were always useful even if they might not seem relevant to the teller.
"Will they be accompanying us on our mission?" She asks more quietly so that it does not carry through the paper thin walls. "I prefer to work in a more closed environment, but it is your mission and I will do what is required of me. The fewer who are involved to my mind, the less chnace the details of the mission will escape to those we investigate."

The Antelope is slow out of her stays. The crew works at a feverish pitch yet look to be distracted by something. It is not difficult to locate the distraction source as their eyes keep wandering from their tasks to Lorelei.
The other ships have gained a great distance on the Antelope, with most heading towards Cabra then the shadow paths beyond while a few head in other directions to places within Amber's own world.
Barrett continues to harangue and shout at the crew like a competitor in the America's Cup race even at such a slow pace. He pauses his yelling as he passes by Calvera and mutters:
"I'll be needing to take them on a South Seas cruise next to burn this distraction out of their systems."

As Barrett begin to pass them, Lorelei reaches out and grabs him lightly by the shoulder. "Captain, I estimate our current speed to be roughly four knots. I have a spell that could bring us up to twelve knots easily; under perfect conditions perhaps as high as twenty. Normally a spell will falter as soon as we cross from one Shadow to another, but this spell is tweaked to continue functioning as long as we are both in an official sea-lane and moving. I had not arranged for passage when we left the peer and offer this serves as compensation. I await you word." .

Brian went above deck after stowing the gear. He scanned the Deck for Shelly however he approached Calvera. "You are Calvera right? While we never have met based on your description I know of you." He nodded politely to him "Brian Cathain."

Barrett nods in appreciation.
"I thank you for the offer, princess, but I'd prefer to keep such a spell in reserve for two reasons. The first is that such a thing will develope bad habits in the crew, make them think that their gold-brickin' can still keep this ship on the move. The second is that we will run into trouble during the journey with either pirates, storms or both assailing us so a little boost in our back pocket should be kept until needed."

A note on the ship: There are only two guest cabins and have been reserved for Eivor and Shelly. The rest of you will need to bunk up with the crew in hammocks unless you can come up with other arrangements....

OOC: What bunk space is closest to the Cabins?
