[Sakura D'aron]

Sakura smiled brightly as she listened to Billy. She could certainly understand his staying away from being an officer or any such sort. She herself didn't exactly like being in a leading position. Had it not been for Dzrg naming her captain of the Black Dolphin so long ago, she would've been more than perfectly happy being just a regular sailor. But alas, things did not always go the way she wanted, and now here she was, not only a pirate, but a captain to boot. She didn't exactly consider herself lucky in her position. But Dzrg had meant well (as far as she was concern), and like Billy, he'd been happier not being in direct control of a ship, though he'd proven to be very helpful none-the-less. Espeicially when it came to killing dreadful captains...

"The Fo'castle for you it is then Billy. I know I can trust you to keep yourself busy and useful." She said with a smile though she had very much noticed the belaying pins he carried. While she knew they could be very useful, she had come to dislike them since her time aboard the Black Dolphin. She could still clearly remember Redbeard and how severely injured he ended up. She only hoped Billy would not use them in such a bloody way.

Sakura then turned to Uta and studied her with an arched brow for a moment. The girl was not helpless after all. "I'm very pleased to hear you have some experience with a blade. It means you can defend yourself more likely than not, if need be." She said with a smile.

"And while I hope there won't be need for blades in this particular expedition, I'm sure there will likely be. Now, I'm not sure where exactly you'd like to work Uta. If you've any skill with cooking, you could work with our cook Cutty... err... Nigel Cutty as we call him." She said with a chuckle. "Or you can go and work with Sam, Jim and Ian, they're regular sailors, they particularly enjoy deck duty. They're the only three that actually ENJOY cleaning." She said with a small laugh. "Or if there's any other position you think would suit you better let me know and I'll do my best to accomodate you."

Victor had been standing by Sak's side silently listening. "I'd like to give you a word of advise to da both of ya..." He now said in a calm voice. "While most of our regular crew and usually civilized men, and dun much bother n'one else, there is one or two that particularly enjoy making people's lives misserable. One such person to be weary of is our Elmer. He's quite the sour ol' dog and he may not take well to your... friendly personallity Billy Bob, and Miss Uta, being a lady and all, he'll prol'y bother you sooner than later. While our Captain preffers no violens while we're aboard the ship, she does understand the needed use of force when it comes to defending yourselves. And of course, should our little weasel bother you, he'll be punished of course. So you've only to tell use." He said clearly then turned to Sak. "Didn't mean to interrupt you Azul but they should be aware of such trouble makers, especially Uta here. You know how Elmer bothered our Xera and Kaidy..." He said then nodded. "Well, if y'all excuse me, I've got errands to do and what not." And with tha he walked away from them.

Sakura sighed looking at Billy and Uta. "He's right you know? Elmer is well... a bitter creature to say the least. He's also quite opposed to having females aboard... let alone to Captain a ship. And I can tell you from experience he's got a mean fist." She said with a cold smile. "Anyhow, we shouldn't waste too much time dallying around and such. Billy, I'm sure we'll get plenty of action so you shall not be bored for too long a suspect. For if we find no treasure the boys here will make sure we don't return empty handed. And if that means relieving a few merchant ships of their burden well then so be it." She said with a chuckle then turned to Uta. "Now Uta, where would you like to work?"
