After clubbing Stover many many times with his staff, he returned to speak to Lucretia.

"As you would have it luv, though if you were to need any ah... assistance, I would be more than happy to oblige." He said flashing a rougueish wink.

She glares at him and slaps him across the face. "If I would ask anybody for assistance, I would ask Kane... " She said, smiling. She then made her way down to the Captain's cabin.

Kane dodged some of Li's blows, and blocked others with is cantalouped knife, and generally did pretty well for a man who wasn't having a good day. Untill, that is, Li's staff struck the cantaloupe and split it perfectly along the knife. Kane laughed weakly and said "Well gee tha--" and took a stiff jab in the stomach.

On the ground, Kane wispers to himself: "No witty banter when fighting. Right. I got it now." Then he stabs half of the cantaloupe and slowly makes his way below deck.

"well somebody needs to be at the helm. Setting the sails doen't seem too difficult, why don't you do it Li? kane can bugger off, but as a zen master said "A day without work is a day without food" i hope he enjopys his cantalope, because unless i see him helping above deck, I am not fixing him anything. And he doesn't know where I put the fresh water."
He worked his way to the helm and looks east
"Are we headed east?"

She walks out of her cabin in a white French naval uniform. She ties back her hair and sticks it under her coat's collor, so she wouldn't look too much like a woman. She wanted to look as much like a man as she could, which she knew would be a bit difficult. She puts on her captain's hat and makes her way to the monk. She puts a hand on the monk's shoulder and points out to the horizon. "Yup, we're heading east." She then takes her compass out and shows it to the monk. "My grandfather gave me this before he was hung. Here..." She hands him the compass. "I'm sure you know how to use one. Just be carefull with it. I'll let you hang onto it for a while."

"Thank you for this honor. Compasses posses a noteable symbolism in my trade, but such a dear one shall be recieve the best treatment." he puts the compass in his robe. "It is safe with me. Why east? If I may ask. I am told there is nothing east but an endless sea. Allthough in my order we have information that would suggest otherwise."

"No, no, there's stuff in the east all right." Kane reappears at the door to the lower decks, still using his sword as a cane. He walks over to the cantaloupe crate, and pulls out two this time. "These things are pretty good. But the real question here is: what is in the east that I care about? Actually, the real question is where do these things come from? I might need to go there some time."

She rolls her eyes and shows Kane her uniform. "See Kane, look closely. This is a French Naval unifrom. It is one of my favorite ones. Now, why would I be wearing a French uniform and be going east. Hmn, what could be there?" She says a bit sarcastically.

"I asked you what is in the east that I cared about, Slick."

(Wait, isn't America in the way?)

"I am guessing that frenchia, or wherever the French live is in the east. This will be exciting, I have never been to such a place before and I know no monastic protocals of my order that would stop me from going. "
