Aye lass who goes there?

so I looks o'er the rail and it be me ole friend Tempest! Huzzah! welcome to the "Watch Dog" have ye given thought to the offer lass?

That I have and do accept your kind offer. Now, that being said, I take it that the ward on this barky is up to snuff and that there are accomodations for myself as well as my Steward. You will need to hoist this medicinal trunk to the deck, but do take care with it, if you will.

If I may, Master Lasseter. I've garnished some dates and pecans from the groves about the Tsunami Kate, and would have them added to the ships stores, if that's agreeable. They'll only go to waste if not shared amongst the crew.

I have some 240 pounds of dates, which may subplant your need for raisens. The pecan's are but a trifle at 76 pounds.

Aye good lady you do come aboard as best I can tell at a most opportune time and accident occured not long ago it seems as though a problem at one of the local establishments made it way out our dock and into the water here where a gunner was burned and nerely made to die. He is resting below and We would certainly liken to have you see to it that the sav we mixed up from a few good cactus pieces is not of a bad sorts? Let me give ya a hand up. Welcome aboard Surgeon dentist and barber, this is Dorian and you know well Sir William, the rest of the crew be off seekin food we haven'y had much luck findin a goodly cook as yet but dare say I can If It need be! I'm jes not the entertainin kind what be needed. Let me give you ahand below.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.

You're welcome. May they be of good use.

(turns to go and stops up short)

Tempest...

(Removes dusty hat)

How glad I am that we have no misgivings in welcoming ladies aboard.

(bows low)

Now...though it may seem vulgar so soon to ask...as you have just come aboard...yet per the Ship Master's request, I am to have a list of all arms brought aboard the Watch Dog.

And I thank you, sir. If you will kindly show the way I would like to get settled in. **To Steward** Depechez-vous, Armand!

Master Lasseter, if I may. The Tsunami has at least one swivel gun, and since her current position as an inn makes a cannon of little use, you are welcome to borrow her against the day that you get another.

**Returning to deck**

Diego...It seems that your scortched gentleman is not as bad off as feared. Most of the damage is superficial. He is resting quietly below and will for a space of time due to the ticture of Laudanum that has been administered. Is there anything of service that I can be of for the moment?
