Accidents and Purposes

[Juli]

Shuffling through her things as Sean spoke, Juli eventually withdrew her purse. Taking out a few coins, she handed them over before looking at the rest of the contents. A few more coins and a bill or two... You wouldn’t have been able to tell Juli was a noblewoman by looking at that. Plus, if they had to pay money of some kind... they were in trouble, weren’t they?

Juli thought for a moment, “I guess...well, I was probably going to leave eventually; I really don’t have much reason to stay.”

She realized something and slapped herself on the forehead, embarrassed at herself. “How can I...Agh! I’m Juli,” She introduced herself, stretching out her hand. “And my friend here is Eddy,” she added with a smile.

[Sean]

Judging from her struggle to find much money in her purse, Sean came to the conclusion that maybe the mermaid was not financially wealthy. In that case it was probably for the best that she should leave before Musker begins his searching party in the morning. “I guess...well, I was probably going to leave eventually; I really don’t have much reason to stay.” Well that's good news, then maybe it would be easier to convince the mermaid to come with him instead of lingering in this city, for her capture to come next morning.

Before Sean could continue, he found himself in an introduction with Juli. Oh right? He had forgotten about that too, where was his manners? Well after all, he didn't want to seem too impatient right now. Sean put his hand forward and interlocked his hand with Juli's. "Pleased to meet you Juli, I'm Sean" Sean gave a smile, yet behind it was anxiousness to convince Juli to leave with him before sunrise. "And it's a pleasure to meet you too Eddy" He gave a nod at the umima, since he couldn't do any human interactions with the umima. Besides if he tried, he had that feeling he would leave without a hand.Sean attempted to keep him smile, though he couldn't help but lose it while he spoke in a more serious and nerve racking context. "Well Juli. I didn't quite fix everything there. Let's just say that we now owe the marines a lot of money to keep our freedom. And if we don't pay by tomorrow morning. Then we will probably be sent straight to a marine prison." Sean hesitated, he didn't know quite how to put this next line. he had to make things look as optimistic as he can now. He stepped closer to Juli, so he could talk silently without his words dropping on unwanted visitors. His last attempt was to give a somewhat charismatic smile, which turned out to be a pretty nervous charismatic expression. "On the bright side, I know a ship we could take to leave. Though it's not exactly mine." He put that rather bluntly, but now there was no time to put the situation any lighter, or to gradually evaluate the problem. Now was the time to plan the escape.

[Juli]

Juli visibly slumped as Sean explained the issue with the money; she had none, and neither did he... And if they didn’t pay, they’d just be sent to jail anyway.

She tried to come up with ideas for quick money making, but Sean interrupted her train of thought, "On the bright side, I know a ship we could take to leave. Though it's not exactly mine." It didn’t take Juli more than a moment to get the implications. She blinked for a moment; she had never stolen something in her life...

Looking around in paranoia, she waved for Eddy to move closer and said, “Let’s talk about this somewhere else.” Eddy approached and Juli climbed on top of him. Once situated, she began to walk, expecting Sean to follow.

After a little bit, they had moved to a more deserted section of town. Juli asked, “Okay, I’m listening...” If it was stealing, Juli really didn’t know how she was going to respond...

[Sean]

Sean too shared Juli's paranoia, occasionally he would turn his head from left to right, observing the environment to see if anyone was overhearing. “Let’s talk about this somewhere else.” "Good idea." Sean replied. He watched as Juli mounted on Eddy. The creature she had seemed to be rather strong and aggressive, perhaps he too would prove a useful ally if the plan was going to invite Juli and Eddy. Sean followed close behind Juli, who was mounted on Eddy. Perhaps it was a bit too far and radical for Sean to ask Juli to help him quite blatantly commit a crime. Then again, being a pirate, he couldn't make it places without the assistance of others.

Eventually, they relocated to a more sparsely populated area. Few people seemed to be around, it was much safer now. No matter of what Juli decides, Sean would respect her choice. Of course, they had to get out of here before sun rise, it was not common that many people were going to commit a crime to escape. It was time for Sean to be honest now. "Ok Juli. I would like to steal a selected ship I've been targeting for a long time now." One again paranoia got the better of him and he examined the area around him some more before continuing, now speaking in a low toned voice. "I am a pirate! And before you reject the idea of assisting me in stealing a ship for our escape. At least hear out the plan..." After that he started whispering, much too silent for anyone to hear other then Juli. For Sean's plan was much too important and could not risk falling upon any other ears other than himself and Juli. Already Sean had begun to develop some trust in her...

((Shall we end it here now or would you like to continue some more?))
