Jo smiled as she danced along with her well played song. Drawing quite a crowd to her, the familiar sound of coins falling to the earth rung in the air falling into a small hat. The song softly ended, and the crowd excitedly clapped for the two of them, Jo lifted herself up from the earth and bowed. She pointed a gloved hand at her mysterious partner acknowledging her help. Jo Smiled brightly as she gathered up the hat brimming with gold, silver and bronze pieces. She then held it out to Kethaera, she quietly jingled it. As if to tell her to take her share. They made quite a team, a silient musician, and a dancer, now all they needed was a singer and a dancing partner for Kethaera. They could form their own traveling band, Jo mentally chuckled at the thought.

Kethaera returned the bow and smiled a bit self-consciously at the applause. Had she been performing for an audience, it would not have caused her a moment's pause, but as she had been dancing for the amusement of it, the attention caught her by surprise.
Noting the out-held hat, Kethaera smiled, "Thank you, but it is your earning by right. I merely came to enjoy the beautiful music. I am new to this city, but I would not mind company for a meal should you find that agreeable. My name is Kethaera."

Jo raised an eyebrow, and then smiled putting the well earned money in her coin purse. She gave Kethaera a small smile, "My name is Jo." She whispered greeting her in return. ''And yes," She drew in a deep breath "I would like some company and a drink. I have already eaten." She coughed harshly covering her lips with a piece of ratty cloth, turning her head away from Kethaera. "You know.." She breathed. 'we make an excellent team.." She pointed out softly, as she put her guitar over her shoulder. ((that's great! now all we need is a singer and a dancing partner for your character!))

Jacob looked up after he had taken a draunt from his drink. He licked his lips, eyeing the new man, then smiled and stood, extending a hand, "Aye, that would be me. What can I do ya for?" He asked, pleased that he would have some good men to take back to the ship.

"The name is Allan Greybrook, sir," he said as he firmly shook the recruiter's hand. "I was sent up this way from a smaller port called Cayonne to see if there was an open spot for a lookout."
After shaking hands, Allan reached took one of the folded sheets from his pocket and handed it to the gentleman standing before him. "These are references from my schooling followed by notes of my past apprenticeship aboard a small vessel by the call of Whitecrest." In the meantime, Allan stood patiently, not obliging himself a seat while the while the recruiter himself still stood.

Jacob looked at the papers, frowning softly as if he was reading, though he had never learned how. "Huh, well it seems you've got some experience, that's always a plus. Why don't you come with these gentlemen and I. The Cap'n gets the final say, but I think you'll have some good luck convincing him." He smiled and handed the papers back.
Just then, one of the other crew members ran in and up to Jacob, "There you are! I've bin lookin all over for you! We're settin sail. Cap'n had some sorta dispute, and we might be headin inta battle with them over there." He tilted his head towards the corner where Aiden was, his voice lowered.
Jacob frowned and rose, briefly glancing in that direction. "Well boys, looks like you might get to meet the captain sooner than I thought. If you are really serious about joining the Dragon Slayer, then I suggest you follow us, quickly. You've got maybe ten minutes to pack up anything you need."

Allan nodded quietly with a small smile as accepted the papers only to have his attention taken by the fellow who had just run in calling for the recruiter. Listening intently, things were obviously amiss, though beyond that it was difficult to tell what it was all about. Shame that it meant that there would be little time to get to know these gents before going aboard.
"It may be quicker for me to go back to the inn for my bag and head straight for the ship than to return here," Allan stated after hearing it all out, trying to work around the unexpected turn of events. "At which dock is the Dragon Slayer at? I'll just meet up with you there."
After getting the location of the Dragon Slayer*, Greybrook hurried off to the inn he had been residing, having picked it for its dockside location. It took him only a moment to grab the duffel bag as his belongings were already packed since that morning. With haste, he made for the Dragon Slayer, arriving at the location he was told to be at.
((*Please ignore this last part if I'm overstepping my boundaries or if a different answer is given to the question. Figured it this way would keep up the pace of the story, rather than slow it down.))

((that was perfectly fine, it'll help get us moving right along))
Jacob quickly told them where the Dragon Slayer was docked, then hurried out to tell the Captain about the new recruits he had found. Hopefully they wouldn't be in such a rush as to leave them behind, but it wasn't his job for the final say.
((all right, moving right along to the Dragon Slayer Thread))

((Please move rp to the Falach Lasair))
Aiden knew for a moment that accepting this woman aboard his ship would be foreboading in many ways. He had Annabelle at his side and yet this woman had a very different connection with him. A connection of blood, kinship. It was as though the captain was given an opportunity to truly relate to someone. While he knew no one could take the place of his Annabelle Lee, he could not bring himself to turn the woman away. It was not often that his kind would present themselves in the open. This was an experience he may never possess again.
Whatever payment she spoke of, the captain was satisfied by her answer. Partially from lust and slightly from the experience she claimed, the man decided she would be a worthy crewmate. In a voice more rough than he used earlier, the man concluded their conversation, "If you prove to be of more work than you're worth, whatever port is nearest will be your destination."
It would have been pleasant to sit and truly converse for awhile about the jobs she could take up aboard the ship, but there were many other matters to attend at the moment. Motioning towards the door, the captain also added, "Please follow me to the ship. Once we come aboard, I will ask that you speak with my second-in-command about finding yourself a cabin. Work will begin in the morning."

Kethaera smiles, "Pleased to meet you Jo. And truth to tell, I recently ate myself, but wished to be courteous. I do rather enjoy your playing. Though I'm not certain as to your talk of a team? I would not care for pulling wagons unless the oxen were lame and there was no other option." She looks a bit perplexed.

Jo gently laughed as she began to ready herself to leave. "I assure you, you wouldn't need to pull any wagons. All you will need to do, is dance and tell curious onlookers that I can not speak. I was thinking of making a traveling band. I would play my guitar, you would dance. We would make quite a bit of money, all we would need to get is a partner to dance with you and a singer."

Kethaera nods, "Ah, I see. You wish to form a fascia. I did not know outsiders would be fascia with famiglia, but it would be nice to work with others to make bello musica."

Jo smiled looking over at her, "Yes, I think it would be like allot of fun. So, do you wish to form a fascia with me?" She gave a nod to a passer by as the wind shifted coarse ruffling her short hair. "I'm sure that we would make bello music together."

Kethaera smiles, amused, "It may be a little early to form a fascia. But I would make bello musica with you and perhaps in time we may be fascia."

Jo looked over at Kethaera and returned her smile. "Good." She replied her eyes sparkled with mischief and joy. Her first allie, in this large city she could only pray that there would be more. Of coarse she still wished to find her father, but that chance would come soon enough. She stretched out her arms lazily, she was tired. "Do you wish to share a room for the night, before we head off?"
