Snippet #1875517

Kaitsu made a small show of getting up for the large man who was to be her partner for the first objective given to them specifically by the Captain. She already thought that he was a good, proud man, one that she could respect.

"Come on. We must see to the Captain's orders." Without making sure the giant of a man was following her, she was sure he wouldn't disobey his captain, that would be dishonorable, Kaitsu began walking briskly, and efficiently with an economy of moment, as she always does, towards the intended cabin.

Within moments she had crossed the ship and knocked on the cabin door and without waiting for more than a second or two, for she had no love for such an unprideful man, she opened the door. The flimsy lock that should have been replaced, it was only a temporary lock that had been overlooked, simply broke without much resistance to the small woman who held more strength than it looked to be possible.

A quick look around revealed to Kaitsu a single bunk, a table and a chair in the small quarters. There are two chests which she assumed, quite correctly, to be the personal belongings of the two inhabitants. The bed is made though there is another blanket almost carelessly tossed on top creating a falsely slovenly look. The man sat on the bed, looking intoxicated still, and the woman at his feet beside him. Kaitsu nearly snarled at such a position, especially as the woman seemed to be favoring her left arm, it sat quite delicately in her lap and her clothes were much too large, and there was a red mark on her cheek that most assuredly wasn't there when they boarded the ship.

"I have been ordered by the Honorable Captain Gareth Fletcher to search these quarters for any substances with which a man might become intoxicated and therefore ignore their promised duties," Kaitsu shot a sharp glare at the man in question, though her voice never wavered from its impossibly bored tone, however if one knew how to listen, cruel amusement could easily be heard, "And confiscate them." Those three words were said so resolutely that there was no way that they could possibly be disputed, especially with such an imposing man in stature as the one behind her. Though what she did not have in stature was made up in the absolutely dangerous way she moved, in the way of a predator. Every move was calculated and composed and contributed to her goal.

Kaitsu began looking immediately, there was no reason to wait and her search easily yielded results. The bottles were not particularly well hidden in the first place. First, the chest closest to her. Four bottles of rum and, it appears, other than the bottles everything was messily tossed into this chest. In the second chest there is yet another bottle of rum, a great deal of parchement, instruments for measuring and calculating. There are some seal skin wraps for protecting the maps from water damage, ink and quills. This chest is much neater and well packed. The bottle appears out of place with the neat and organized way that the rest of the gear is packed. Someone obviously took a great deal of care to protect the ink and quills, as well as the spyglass from transportation damage. In the bottom of the second chest there is also two simple shift dresses and a comb. These things appear to have been folded as small as possible, tucked far down and convered as if being hidden. Another sneer worked itself onto her face.

Searching the rest of the room she found another bottle of rum stashed under the mattress and an empty bottle that is laying on the floor. Kaitsu took great pleasure in snatching these up and holding them seemingly carelessly. And stashed in between the two chests, it looks like someone, not very well of course, was trying to hide it, it being a chain with a cuff large enough for a forearm, or ankle. She had guessed as much from the faint rattle if she heard when she knocked on the door to come and inspect the room. As if it were hastily hidden, poorly at that. And with that, she leaned in the doorway and watched with hawk-like eyes the large carpenter/surgeon deal with the woman.
