 ::It was true, the good Captain Smythe walked about pretty much as she pleased. Part of it was her youth, part of it was the family name, regarded nearly as royalty in most ports of call from the New World to the Ivory Coast. With all that though, she wasn't naive. Jaden rarely went about in a new port without a mate or two. But this time, the business at hand mandated that she come alone. Sort of... Morley didn't get to where he was without some keen powers of observation, eventually,he would likely notice a few mates, new to the place. A tall Swede examining some pipes at one of the merchants tables, closest to the front entrance. Near the back, where always there seemed to be a dice game going on, was a wirey Spaniard, keen dark eyes watching. Always watching, with evil looking twin blades dangling at from his belt. Not even pretending to be interested as he threw down his coin. Then there was stocky cue ball head, hoops in ears and nose, engrossed in some sort of conversation with matronly wench near the side door by the kitchens.

Seated across from Ben, she noted his eyes were no where near her face so she allowed her self the luxury of an eye roll when the slaver had the balls to sit next to her. A flash of silver under the table, and a thin, needle sharp blade danced under and over her left hand, to rest easily on her thigh. Raising the bottle to her mouth, she muttered out the side::
no bettah pig fer stickin den a slavah pig
::Not missing a beat she smirked slightly as the scumbag slithered off as quick as he'd appeared. Now she could turn fully to the situation at hand. Catching his eyes again a the V of her neckline, drew another smug smirk but when she looked up at him, the expression had changed to something far more innocent.::
Well dat mighteh kind o'Mistah Morley, 'elpin ye and yer Pa. Ah 'eared tell 'e a right generous sort ::flick of the bluegreens to the crafty fellow, wondering just what he was up to now:: fer one in 'is position,dat is. So ye says yer movin 'ere den? Got a place all picked out do ye, 'er jest stayin in a local Inn?
::quickly she slid the small blade away before she got the urge to flick it at him for not listening. One good thing about the bloody thieves she'd associated with. They taught you patience. She used it now::
As Ah said...::lick of the lips:: Ben. Ah 'as me own ship, de Osprey, 'ere in port. Cap'n Ah is. ::She leaned forward again, shoving the bottle his way:: Mebbe, if'n its too noisey in dis 'ere place, we ken go somewheres else, quietah ta talk. Mebbe ye ken show me abou', dis bein me first time 'ere in Westwind? Aftah yer business be done o'course ::with a saucey little wink, she tossed her hair and leaned back, bringing the assets he most admired into prominence once again::
