City: Trayvahl

(ATTN : Open, Leon)

They arrived on port a few hours ago and her crew had been unloading some ether merchandise from her flying ship. Finishing up the paperwork for the transaction, she finally get out of her quarters. The first thing she notice is Norven using his power to place the merchandise better for the crane to pick it up. They already had wasted enough time with these idiots that she thought it was a good idea on his part. She approach him and says ''My my Norven, you're on top shape ! Keep at it ! ''

Norven only nods and go to the next one.

''YOU WILL CLEAN THIS AGAIN Mr.Aldebaran ! I want it to be so clean that it'll SPARCKLE !! You hear me ? ...'' Said the Quarter master Keith to a younger mate named Aldebaran Realish.

''Y-Yes sir !'' Replied the mate who looked terrified and rushed back to the quarters to clean, Keith running behind him.

Arvaneh start to laugh at the scene and comment ''Quite lively are we ? Rorge, Norven, I leave matters to you while I go complete the transaction. '' Rorge was her boatswain and Norven, her second hand captain. She knew the other mates would be in good hands. Before leaving the ship she approach Norven and says ''By the way, old fellow Hylegg is drunk on the work again. Maybe you should shake him a bit if you know what I mean ? '' Arvaneh said with a wink.

Norven turn to see the sleeping drunken man and suddenly looks very annoyed and go toward him. He punch him hard enough to wake him up. ''Get to work ! I see you sleep because you drank too much again that I'll punch you for real.

''Leooon ! Want to follow this young lady a bit further for a little walk ? '' She called her able bodied sailor with a very sedductive tone.

Norven heard this and his face darken as he turn his look toward Leon that was clearly saying ''You make a move on my captain, you're a dead man.''

[ATTN: Leon, Arvaneh]

As the two merchants move to enter the city, they are stopped by two men that are part of an Ether Hound Unit, as their uniforms make this apparent. They look serious and alert, but they are also relaxed and smiling.

"Good day. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we will need to check your persons for any and all suspicious belongings." The one on the right says, "Please cooperate and we will get you through security as quickly as possible."

[ATTN: Leon, Arvaneh]

The man smiles widely. "Yeah! You're right! You're that merchant friend of hers that she grew up with, right? Sorry, I'm really not good with names at all."

At this last part, he puts out his hand to shake hers in re-introduction with his grin now spiced with a hint of sheepishness, "I'm Jax. Nice to see ya here. We trust you, of course, but we have to check everyone, as standard procedure. Sharkeye is rumored to be around here, if ya didn't know, so watch your goods...and your ship."

[ATTN: Arvaneh, Leon]

The man nods his head with greeting as she gives her name, quick to do the security procedures for her as she suggests any possible assistance with this matter. He ponders, but shrugs at the end with uncertainty.

"I'll half to go up to our second-in-command and see what she'd like to do." He replies, "Our boss isn't in town...he's on 'vacation,' the lazy lout."

He chuckles at his joke towards his unit leader, and his partner raises an eyebrow. Jax probably does not make such jokes about his superior with those that are not somewhat familiar with him, so the man is probably not used to hearing him become so casual on a security detail.

Jax signals with his index and middle fingers, lifting them up with a slight pointing gesture at him, ignoring the raised eyebrow entirely. "Go fetch Mickey. She's up on the Eastern wall. You can take her place until we finish this business. In the meantime, Captain Arvaneh, feel free to head through onto the docks...just be careful."

(ATTN : Pegasus, Leon)

Norven saw Leon coming to the ship and wondered what was up, especially after seeing the expression on his face. This one didn't quite try to make fun of him either like he usually does. Probably the only one with the guts to do that after though.

''What is it ? '' Norven strictly ask, also looking like he was on a rush considering people were messing up with the unloading in the background. Leon explains the situation to him and Norven eye twitch. ''Not that crazy bastard again. Almost threw me of all the people over the rails of the ship while we fought him last time he attacked. I can't believe he survived the shot from Severyn who created an illusion to foul the man. If we were to be attacked here however, counter measures would be more complicated.

Norven thanks Leon and mumble to himself as he move to each member of the crew or leaders for them to pass the message to other ones.

(ATTN : Jax, Other man, Open)

''I see, well let me know if you guys need my help. We'll be staying around for sometime afterall, seeing how the job is being done slowly. '' She firstly replied with a smile toward the lazy leader statement.

When Jax mention that she can pass she reply ''Thank you very much, say hi to Mickey for me.'' She went ahead toward the port area.

-Port Area-

Arriving to her client, she smile at the old man and inform him of her arrival. ''Why hello there Javik, how have you been ? ''

''Why if it isn't Arvaneh ! I assume that the ether arrived safely then ? ''

''Of course ! Taking some time to unload however. But it should be finished in roughly half an hour.

''I see, well it's good to know, I assume you're coming to complete the transaction. Would you like a cup of tea before you leave after ? ''

''Yes I am here to complete the transaction, however I sadly won't be able to stay for a cup of tea this time as I have another cargo to load in right after and must go find my next customer. '' She said with a sad face. After all tea is always nice.

''Busy woman like always right ? '' He said with a smile. ''Well let's complete this transaction quickly then. ''

They then complete their transaction through electronic cash and Arvaneh thanks the man, giving an apology for such a rushed visit. The man does not mind however and thank her for the amazing delivery time and she then heads toward another building to go and try to find her next customer for the next load. A load of agriculture and food.

[ATTN:  OPEN]

Micky is ready to take a break.  The wind exhales violently against her face as she looks out onto distant and vague scenery that she could care less about if the lands were filled with brilliantly large gemstones.  She sighs, her legs have fallen stiff, and she could really use a drink.  

"Ma'am."  Eran's voice is quite familiar, and she is surprised to turn and see that he is here.  He should be at the entrance to the docks for security protocol.  She raises an eyebrow, her hand moving to a hip as she shifts her weight from one foot to another to ease some of the pain that is in her heel.

"What can I do for you, Eran?"  Micky asks politely, trying to keep the intrigue from her tone.  "Have we had any difficulties or complications?"

"Ma'am, Arvaneh is here on her ship."  Eran says, placing his hand over his eyes to shield them from the sun's brilliant light that is pressing down on him.   It is getting closer to setting, now.  "She's offered assistance in the search..."

"I bet she has."  Mickey says with a smirk.  "She hates the bastard by now, I'm sure.  I'll head down there and see what we can do.  Do you mind stationing here for a bit?"

"Not at all, ma'am."  Eran replies, already ready to take watch with provisions on his back.  "I expected as much."

"You can call me Mickey, Eran."  She says with a smile as she moves away.  "How many times do I need to tell you that?"

"Understood, ma'am."  Came the usual, expected response. Mickey shakes her head with a smile, but continues to head down the wall's edge from a security access.  She's quickly transported to the docks area, and reaches the entrance where Jax is located within a mere twenty minutes.  Good time, good time.  

"Jax."  Mickey greets, looking out at the bustling docks as she takes Eran's place in the security entrance and begins to assist in helping Jax push the merchants and such through into the docking area.

"Mickey."  Jax says, smirking.  "Have a good watch?"

"Nah.  Not enough naked, sexy, or muscular men up there, man.  Not near enough."

Jax laughs.

(ATTN : Open)

After several minutes of walking, she finally find her next customer in a warehouse not far from the exit of the port to go in the city, but it was still in the port. She enters it and smile to the man, waiting for him to be free since he was with someone. When he finally is, this one quickly acknowledge Arvaneh.

''It's so good to see you ! I was wondering where you were.'' The man says with much anticipation for the business.

''I'm sorry about that, been a bit delayed unloading the cargo before this, we are almost done however so your merchandise will leave on time. '' She reply, trying to be as reassuring as she could.

''Wonderful ! I would like you to bring food over to the Xan'Tartica city. As you know quality food supply are low and we are sending some there. ''

''Yes I am aware of the situation in this city, although assuming the risks with ether contamination, the price is a bit higher then normal like I mentioned when you first contacted me.''

''Yes, do not worry I prepared the paiement, I'll pay you completely before you go.'' The man explains, smiling.

''Completely ? I thought the business man there would pay the other part ? '' She said with a puzzled look on her face.

''Giving their situation out there, I decided to pay the transportation fee completely to help out. Please give him my best regards when you see him.''

''I see, how generous of you. '' She says with a smile. ''Well shall we complete the transaction then ? ''

''Of course ! Also do note that most product would need to be kept at a fresh temperature, I've heard it wasn't a problem, but just to make sure ! ''

''No problem sir, just guide me through what needs it and what doesn't and we'll tweek our warehouse a bit in consequence of that cargo. ''

''Good good ! '' And so they went on talking some more and before long the transaction was completed and trucks would be heading toward her ship in some time. In fact in about 2 hours.

Arvaneh started to walk back toward the ship, before she saw Leon who seemed to be back around and looking at some crowd. ''I see you seem to be curious about something. '' She said with a smile after she approached him quite closely, but silently to try and startled him. ''I'm going back toward the ship to see where they are at, what about you ? ''

(ATTN : Leon)

Arvaneh grins and smile. ''Don't worry about me dear, my business is more then healthy for me. '' She winks and add ''Although I don't say I won't mind a drink later, but it all depends. Anyhow I'll head tot he ship. Have fun.''

With this she rush toward the ship knowing the next load would come to them in about an hour.

- At the Pegasus dock -

She finally arrive where the Pegasus is docked after passing through the security again and seeing Mickey. Although she couldn't quite speak to the lady since that one was busy, but she still managed to do her a wink so to say.

''Oh I see you molasses are finally done with that load ! Good good !'' Arvaneh exclaimed as she saw trucks leaving with the last of the merchandise. Getting into the ship she see that many of her crew were tired. Even Norven looked like he had actually broke a sweat, but seemed a bit too angry at Hylegg for being drunk on the job. ''I see someone's been drinking when stated not to. ''

''Yeah he did apparently and he's lucky I'm not punching him harder then I did. I'm sure our doctor will know how to be quite evil with him though... right ?.... '' The man said with almost a dark aura surrounding him.

With a laugh Arvaneh replied to that matter ''Indeed he will and you'll be the one bringing him and taking some rest after Norven. I might need your strenght later and so I'd rather have you rest for some time now. ''

''Ooooh.... the sky is blue, the birds are ....are... fluffy ! ... the cards are cool and... so so...on..'' Hylegg sing in a not so convincing manner while he get interupted by hiccups.

A younger girl approach the group, looking very shy and not sure if she should speak out. ''Is gramps okay ?....''

''He is, don't worry dear, he just had a bit too much of alcohol. ''

''O-Oh... okay. '' The younger girl with brown hairs said. Her name was Anksha and she seem fairly close to the old man, thinking of him like a grampa. Arvaneh was almost like her mother considering she adopted her. She still wondered why it was that she took her however. For her ability ? Or for herself ? Anksha was the kind to think further then things sometimes, but still was fairly naive and innocent. All the more reason that Arvaneh had taken her in.

''I'll take this stinking old man to the doctor office. '' Norven said taking the man with one arm only to place him on him right should like he was carrying a bag or some merchandise. ''I'll see you later Captain.''

''Right.'' Arvaneh replied to Norven before turning back to the teenage girl. ''Could you help me along with some other set up the warehouse for the next cargo dear ? I'll let you go rest after since you look pretty tired.

''O-Okay... I'll do my b- AH !'' Anksha's line was interrupted by someone that suddenly appeared behind her.

Arvaneh herself had been quite startled at the sudden appearance of Ricohard Baxter, their rigger. This man was quite fast and always seemed to appear like a ninja, scaring people. ''I take it you want to help to Ricohard ?... Try not to startle the poor Anksha like that ! I wouldn't want my cutie to die of a heart attack now would I ? ''

The man doesn't replied, but nods and look at the teenager in a way that showed he was sorry while he pat her head.

''I-it's okay... '' Anksha said with a small smile.

''You two start to clean a bit the warehouse since we'll be receiving food. I'll send you guys more people. ''

The two nods and head toward the main warehouse.

Arvaneh notice her boatswain going toward Ivan and Severyn. Seemed like the poor Severyn was stucked at listening at Ivan's ideals again. Not that he was really listening in her opinion, but she was still curious to see how that would end up.

''And so my hypothesis is that, our engineers could probably do hover board and then we could probably fly those and make money on gambles of races of those ! At least it's something I thought would be worth gambling on, what do you think ? ....'' Said Ivan, a man who loved gambling and that couldn't be stoped in stories.

Severyn coldly turns and ignore the guy to go toward the quarters.

''Hey !'' Exclaim Ivan, a bit frustrated that the man just ignored him.

It's then that the boatswain, Rorge appear behind him with a cough. ''Ivan, I thought I told you many time to not mention your hobby on the work or slow down others. '' The man looked not so happy.

''Tch. Fine... I'm slowing down others when I'm bringing awesome ideas and no one listen to it. '' Ivan said a bit frustrated.

''I heard it !'' Arvaneh suddenly say out of the blue. ''I'm sorry to ask, but could you two go help out into setting the warehouse for the next cargo and helping loading it as well ? And Ivan I'd be happy to hear more about that project later, even if I doubt we would be able to developp this kind of thing.

Ivan smile and says ''At least our wonderful Captain listens ! Well I'd be glad to help with that, be on my way. ''

Rorge sigh and when Ivan is gone he says ''Why are you covering him ?''

''I'm not, I really think what I said ! '' Arvaneh said acting innocent, raising her hands in the air.

Rorge pouts and reply ''If you say so...'' He then start to leave toward the warehouse as well.

''Oiii Severyn ! ~ '' She called before the man would enter inside the ship. This one turn back at her with a puzzled face and she approach him. ''Mind keeping an eye on the deck for me dear ? ... The kind on the best of your ability kind. '' Arvaneh said with a wink.

Severyn quickly caught on why she was asking this and he nods, going back on the decks.

''Thanks ! '' She said as she entered the ship going toward her two favorite twins, but before she would get there, she remembered that she needed to get to the merchants and ask them about the supplies for the ship itself. Looking with Kumari first may be an idea since she was the cook assistant, but also the manager of ingredients they needed. And so she headed toward the cafeteria of the ship.

(ATTN : Open)

**Sorry for double post, don't really have a choice =)**

Arriving at the cafeteria, she notice that the merchants were there already checking for the stock they would need to buy for the cooks. ''My my, looks like you guys were reading my mind. I like that.'' She said with a smile toward the familly of merchant.

Asuka smiles to the captain. ''Yes we thought of going in the city for some business seeing as it seems we'll stay longer here. And we thought buying the supplies at the same time could be a good idea. '' The woman was a bit old, but still looked young for her 40 years olds.

''Yeah ! We're gonna get food ! '' Zorka said while turning on herself.

Irving shook his head toward his sister. ''You're too cheerful about that, it's just food. Not like it was actual high value item.'' The older brother said with a bit of arrogance and a small grin at the end of his sentence.

Alessio, the father laughed. ''Now now, every items have their value son. Shall we be on our way then ?...''

''Indeed every item have a value, such is the way of the merchant. Oh ! And don't forget the bills. I'll repay you with the company money for the supplies you get for us.'' Arvaneh kindly reminded the father.

''Worries not. '' Alessio replied with a smile. And with that the familly of merchant was leaving.

''They're so helpful to go through that trouble for us. I'll be sure to cook them a amazing meal !'' Kumari exclaimed herself. ''Now now... what should I do now that we're waiting for supplies.... mmmm.... mm....'' The lady seemed quite troubled with not being able to do much at the moment.

''The warehouse team could use some additional help if you would like. Our next load is food and so I'm sure your management skills of how to place the food could be useful. ''

''Right ! Thank you Captain ! I'll go help them right away !'' And just like that Kumari was gone.

Helena smiled and commented ''Well she sure is full of energy ! ''

''Think there will be enough supplies to make a meal for the crew tonight ? I doubt the merchants will be back for the exact time of dinner. ''

''Worry not, it will be fine... of course if my little brother helps me. '' Helena said pinching his cheeks since he was slacking off in a corner like always.

''H-Hey ! You don't have to do that, you just have to ask. '' Flavius exclaimed looking angry.

Arvaneh started to laugh at their brother and sister alike relashionship. ''Well I'll leave you at that. I'm counting on you. '' She left from there and started thinking ''I should go check with the engineers now and then... with the old drunk.... Maybe I could ask Aldebaran some help too... given that he's still alive from his cleaning. '' She nod to herself while being in her thoughts and move on.

**ADDING UP TO THIS POST TO NOT TRIPLE POST**

Finally getting to the section she wanted to go to, she get to her engineers. ''Hello you two. How are things going over here ? ''

''Pretty good !!! Was just about to go see if all the engines are working properly !'' Nalmtia replied cheerfuly.

''I'm fine. '' Rymeru replied, shaking his head like he was trying to figure out something.

''Good good, I just wanted to say that we'll have a shipment of food next and so could you two add to the list the maintenance of the fridge fonction ? I want to make sure it won't give up on us in the middle of the trip. ''

''Count on me !!'' Nalmtia exclaimed as she rushed toward those fonctions right away.

''Hey ! Don't let me do the engine work alone ! '' Rymeru exclaimed, but it was too late, the girl was gone.

''I'm counting on you as well, sorry if I'm interupting you in ... whatever you were making.'' Arvaneh apologized to Rymeru, wondering what that box like item in his hands was.

''It's fine, I'll get back to it later.'' Rymeru said with a sigh.

''Thanks. ''  Arvaneh left their working room and went toward the quarters to see if she could find any additional hands. She approach Keith, the quarter master. ''Hey, I know you were with Aldebaran earlier, have you seen him ? '' She asked, wondering since the younger man wasn't around.

''Tch. I brought him to the doc, he found a way to hurt himself while cleaning. Why ?'' Keith said, looking fairly annoyed.

''I was hoping he could help out with the next load, oh well... mmm...''

''I can help, Captain.'' Raken Achrray said, getting out of one of the room. ''I just finished cleaning the quarters, so I can help.''

Keith nod and said ''You can take her for what you need to do. Want me to go check on our sailling master and see if he's good with tomorrow's route ? '' Keith ask.

''Even if it's not exactly in your fonctions, yes please, it would be appreciated. And Raken, you're more then welcome to join your fellow crewmembers in the warehouse.

Keith nods and leave toward the quarters of the sailling master. And Raken goes toward her next duties in the warehouse.

Arvaneh then went toward the doctor office to see how Aldebaran and the old man were doing.

***

(ATTN : Leon)

- Around the port Market -

The familly of merchant were setting up their shop to sell various goods they weren't able to sell elsewhere. Their prices were really good deals. It's then that the daughter notice Leon passing close to the street where they were doing business.

''Mom, Dad, I'll be back ! '' Zorka said taking the hand of her brother to bring him with her.

''H-Hey ! What are you doing ? '' Irving replied with a tone of surprise.

Asuka shook her head ''Honestly those two...''

''Let them be, Asuka. '' Alessio replied to the mother. ''They will be fine.''

---

''Leoooon !'' Zorka screamed running after him till she finally catch up, her poor brother being draggued behind her.
