Sakura watched the two newcomers carefully. Billy of course, was as charming as ever, if you could call that charming, and in a lot of ways, as far as live at sea was concern, he was in fact, charming though a bit bold. She almost smiled at Uta's reaction to the man. Normally, she was always concerned when she hired on female hands, for it was no secret that the Evening Star (and most other ships for that fact) was mostly occupied by men, and the presence of women aboard were few and far between. Though she sorely missed both Kaidy and Xera but she had to admit they had moved on, and the better for them.
"You must be Uta, if memory serves me right." Sakura said pleasantly to the girl. "I'm most glad you were able to make it aboard." She said then turned her attention to Billy. "It's comforting to see another familiar face aboard, I hope you find The Evening Star to your liking." She said politely then was thoughtful for a moment.
"Uta, I'm not sure how familiar you are with a ship. If I'm not mistaken I think you mentioned you did not have much experience in sailing. If that is so, that's ok, not to worry. Depending or your skills you can either be just a regular sailor and join the crew with their chores, they're not complicated mind you. It mainly consists of keeping the ship in an orederly fashion." She said then smiled with a hint of mischief. "Men, I'm sure you've noticed, tend to be a bit... unkept if left to their own devices." She said with a chuckle then turned to Billy. "Not that I mean any offence to it. As for you Mr. Bierce, I of course, know you from Terra but would you be so kind as to remind me of your skills? I'd hate to missplace you when you could be put to better use." She said thoughtfully.

I'm really sorry about my absence, I've been sick, and sick again and then all three of my kids got my sick so I've been horridly busy with a house full of sick little ones. -_- It sucks when there are more kids than adults at home. 3 kids vs. 1 adult seems highly unfair odds to me but oh well. ^_^ And that is why posting has been sloow lately...
