Snippet #1319307

Willow breathed out an exasperated sigh just as she finished her long speech, and William frowned at the end. For a moment, she was worried he'd disagree, and have the ship sail elsewhere. It was only when the navigator spoke up, did she breath again.

"What the lady says makes sense, sir." William nodded to the man and his faced showed some thought in his eyes. "Alright then. We sail for Havana. Mr. Jones, please inform Mr. Thomas that we are to sail immediately and then get me a course."
"Yes sir." The navigator saluted them, gathered his charts and left the room, leaving the captain and Willow alone. In moments, the ship began to pull out of the harbor it's navigator plotting her course right now.

The Captain sat behind his desk, and motioned for Willow to sit opposite him.
"Now that we are underway, would you be willing to explain me what exactly is the purpose of you joining us and what exactly the Admiralty has planned. for you to do."
Willow smiled oddly, and looked at the ceiling. Sighing, she looked back down at the captain and spoke up.

"Captain, I am one of those 'No rules' people, a bounty hunter, as a profession. Some of my 'no rules' activities have had His Majesty's army out to get me for, quite some time now. I was actually to catch a ship to Italy tomorrow, but some of the kings men got to me first. Long story short, they are 'hiring' me to find the kings daughter. Why? 'cause I'm the best at what I do." She paused and took a break...thinking over her words a bit, and resumed.

"They're forcing me to do this, but if I succeed..." her eyes glazed over for a second. She finished up, skipping a bit ahead. "I don't know why they had me assigned to this ship. Maybe they don't want me to succeed. Maybe they think you're really good. Either way, we've got a journey ahead of us."

Her long speech finished, she sat back and breathed out. She eyed out the window, her eyes scanning for Elric.
