"Hey," she regarded Sylvester politely, picking up her head to see Xio approaching, and suppressed an urge to roll her eyes at the other woman's question. "As much as one can," she said with a smirk, slurring her words considerably less now than before. She knew sooner rather than later she was going to have a pounding headache as a hangover set in, but the water would help it suck just a little bit less. If the smells coming from the kitchen were any indication, the food was going to make it suck even less. She hadn't known Daniel could cook so well, and if she did, she would have tried recruiting him to be a crew member on one of her expeditions simply so he could keep the rest of the crew well-fed. She looked over at the bathroom Zulo had locked himself in, starting to become worried. How well could the prince hold his liquor? It had been so long since she drank with him that she couldn't gauge how he was handling.

"Did you behave yourself?" Sylvester asked Xio tauntingly with a wink.
Zulo stumbled out of the bathroom, glad that he didn't end up needing to puke. He walked over to the others and plopped down on a chair with a deep breath. "Good morning, friends," he said as politely as he could manage with how hungover he felt. Calling for Daniel felt a lot more draining than it should have. "Daniel. I need a glass of water."
Sylvester studied Zulo joining them at the table. The royal bird wasn't looking quite so regal after their drunk night. He was still intimidating as ever, though. Always so demanding. Sylvester avoided eye contact while he peeked over at the strange Rito Prince.Comment

The hunter felt her crest ruffle with interest at the tone of Sylvester's comment. She didn't get the chance to retort, or respond to Zaria, as Zulo stumbled out of the facilities. She tilted her head, observing him with amusement as Daniel brought out the requested water. "I see you were introduced to Puinnsean Gealach. I hope Zaffre didn't let you drink my whole stash?"
"No Mistress," Daniel called back from where he was finishing cooking. She grinned. She knew the juice could be hit or miss on whether it affected a species not from Èirinn, and it pleased her to see that she could share it with others could appreciate its qualities. Although it'd have been better if she had actually been partaking while sharing, but she wouldn't begrudge a few glasses.
Once food was served, and Daniel given a sharp look to sit with the group instead of retreating back to the kitchen, she became more business-like. "We're just outside of orbit range, so we haven't been hailed by planetary defense yet. Once we've eaten, I'll take us in and settle us in a space port. After that, I'll want you to take point, Zaria, since I'd imagine you'd have a better idea of how to find our quarry than simply showing his poster and asking around. Daniel, you'll guard the ship of course." He wouldn't want to come planet-side anyways. "I'd recommend you do the same, Zulo. Any of the scud down here find out who, or more precisely, what, you are, and we might have to rescue you from someone hoping for a ransom. But, it's your neck if you want to join us anyways. Same as you, Sylvester. Enough species look like you that you won't be mistaken for an Earthling immediately, but you'll want to stay close so they don't notice you're not exactly an intergalactic villain." It'd be awhile since she'd commanded a larger crew than just herself and one other; the instinct to protect what was hers made her more twitchy than usual, betrayed only by the swishing tail.Phillipians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

"What would they want me for?" Zulo asked sarcastically, though his deadpan expression may have made it hard to tell he wasn't serious. He thought his tourist disguise was pretty convincing, though he had slept in them and now they looked all disheveled. He would be sure to change into something fresh before they headed out. "Don't worry, I can hold my own." He knew Zaria would vouch for his excellence with his weapon. During his training as a boy, he had proven to be a prodigy, and as a teen he'd already put his mettle to use on their piratic exploits. Now he felt thrill of those teenage days again.
"As can I," Sylvester said, assuming his guns would be enough defense. He had heard Xio's warning but didn't fully listen, as his mind was already made up. He would much rather check out the place with his new friends rather than stay inside the ship with Daniel.Last edited by Peeps; 12-09-2020, 07:10 PM.Comment

"He's not too shabby with his spear," Zaria admitted, nodding to Zulo. She personally was handier with a rapier, which she preferred to the awkward length of a spear. She turned to Xio, not keen on taking directions, but willing to bend since she was the crewmate in this situation, rather than the captain. "I'll take the lead; check not the seediest bars, but rather bars that are of medium shadiness, if that makes sense." she patted her belt to check to make sure her sword, which she totally had this whole time, was still on her hip. Pleased to find that it was in its place, she stretched out her arms and nodded to Zulo. "Are you coming with us, or are you going sightseeing?" she joked. "We might be able to use your diplomacy skills if things get hairy, so long as they don't figure out you're blue blooded."Old Age of War stuff here:
