With a grateful smile Aespe took the proffered roll. These hadn't been common on their home world and Aespe found she was rather partial to them, soft and warm as they were. Pulling it in half she stuffed one half in her mouth and the other half in her pocket for when lunch crept up on her. At least one of them had been successful. Aespe bit down on the urge to ruffle her twin's hair playfully. This was serious business. The two had each other and their wits to see them through. Of course that meant they were free of overseers and diving for silk, their fingers bleeding. As if just thinking this made her fingers ache Aespe hid her scarred fingers, folding her her arms across her scant chest. "Least one of us knows their business," Aespe said with a nod to Bri. She answered Bri's suspicions, confirming, "He didn' say much." She gave a disgusted shake to her head, setting wispy red strands free to cling to her neck and forehead. Aespe wasn't so sanguine on just perusing the shore, however. "I think we oughtta pick up a few things, make us more attractive to 'ave around," Aespe suggested, gray green eyes perusing the market as if she saw something else entirely. There were things that should make them at home on the water even if the pirates didn't accept their newest recruits gladly. "Still, the shore's a good place ta start," Aespe sounded settled on that suggested action at least. With a look at the nobility about Aespe drew back even further. She could trust Bri, but not those others. Her eyes seemed saurian in their quick, cold appraisal. She drew in a breath, not liking the next part of her plan, since it sent Bri into possible danger alone in a capacity she was less used to, "We should split awhile and remeet at the cove we first arrived in... You spy on others, maybe talk to some an' see what ye can learn. I'll talk to some others, so we aren't seen together. One don' make the meet in 'leven days an' we'll need ta look for t'other. Deal?" Bri might have suggestions of her own and Aespe listened, because Bri really didn't say much unless it was important. Yet Aespe didn't want to attract attention and they desperately needed to know more as well as have the opportunity to gather more supplies. The two made a good team and ought to be able to get what they needed in eleven days. If not, it was a self-imposed deadline. The true deadline was how long it took someone to realize they ought to be working and that supplies seemed to vanish when they were about. "Food, water, dinghy, map and compass," Aespe ticked off, "As well as info." It was a tall order, but she hoped they could fill it. She didn't care to spend life locked on land with a nauseous feeling in the pit of her stomach from the ground's refusal to give way or heave at various steps.  |
