Wood and Blades [Claire/Helena]

[Raphael Eneas]

Raphael sat at a table in a cafe near the storefront window. He boredly stirred his tea and took a sip. The man had just left the ship to get a little alone time. Now the man felt like a captain. He had a navigator, first-mate, cook and doctor. Sure, it was only four people besides himself, but it was far better than he imagined. Now, he could probably focus on getting a few skilled fighters on his crew. At first he'd wanted to focus on simply acquiring those who were skilled in things that didn't involve fighting, as anyone could fight well, but now that he had this many he felt he could focus on other things.

The raven haired man contemplated what he might look for. One skilled with guns would probably be ideal. They could be useful on land and sea. Though, The Siren had no canons currently so there wasn't much that they could do when it came to that. A swordsman might also be good. Either way, Raphael needed to find fighters for his crew. How he would go about that was difficult to decide. He could look at fighting rings and the like, but there was no telling if he could find a suitable crew member that way.

It wasn't exactly a pressing matter, so he had plenty of time to think. As he though, Raphael found that he drank all of his tea. Feeling the need fore more he would stand and move to go get some more. The time spent thinking caused him to be absent minded, and the man found himself walking straight into a human being. "My apologies." he'd say, thank goodness it wasn't a waitress with a tray. That could have been messy.

This was such a failiure that it reduced her to tears at one stage and pulling out her large wrenches and destroyed not only a few workbenches but put a decent hole in her wall. The blonde thought for a moment before leaving the place, deciding to leave because if she wasn't there when her father got home she could just blame it on robbers or something similar. A devious plan indeed however she hadn't noticed the large wrench shaped markings in some wood and even a little bit of concrete, when she got home she was definately going to be in some trouble. The blonde looked around town for quite a while taking a peek at each shop as she went by until she had seen a beautiful woman with long black hair enter a cafe or was it a coffee shop? She ran in that direction her heart thumping she was such an exotic beauty. Lewd thoughts had come through her mind and she giggled to herself as she had made it to the shop's doors. The girl entered the shop and looked around not being able to see the beauty she walked around the shop a bit looking for her, not looking in front of herself she bumped into someone. Claire's figgure was found within a white shirt and brown jacket. With this look she had left a few buttons down from the top open giving a somewhat sexy appearance to an otherwise boring outfit. It was like this because she had unbuttoned the shirt upon seeing the mysterious girl. On her legs she wore a pair of shorts that only made it half way down her thighs. On her feet the blonde wore boots, the look of them somehow fitting both the woman's work place and this fairly boring outfit. Around her waist Claire had a tool belt with an assortment of tools in the back pouches. Her hair was up for practical purposes and the usual large assortment of earrings were on her ears. Staring hard at the man in front of her she immediately wanted to hit him and cause a fight for bumping into her however with a second look yet again she had some rather sexual and naughty comments go through her mind. 'He's so hot and rugged!' She thought for a moment before saying anything. "I do believe you should buy a girl a drink before touching her. Her tone playful and obviously suggestive she was hoping that this man would do so and as a result she might go in for a kiss. table made by greyson of ote
