"Alright down you got then." He said in a surprisingly ploys voice, then again he was at the back of the boat managing the wheel, fighting the currents. The men lowered Elizabeth and the boat down, Ivan hoped this would work, because if not and that boat turned, he would have to jump the boat and leave it attended with an untrustworthy crew. He grimaced, praying to any divine force who would listen to his sorry soul. "Please be careful." He whispered as the little boat hit the water. He may be mad at her, but he didn't wish her to be dead. @JayKuro @SpiritualShrub

Cat smiled as Wynter said it was fine. "Good, cause I was feeling really bad barging in. " She told him honestly. Her Aqua eyes looked back to Samuel as he heard him whisper. "It's not really that hard. Then again I have done it since I was little. "  She told him matter of factly. She them shook her head in annoyance. "I can tell your not a pirate. If you where you would have tried to grab me when I was healing you. I had my experiences. " She said, thinking on the Pirates that had tried to take her through deception. Only one she could remember but it was enough to make her cautious in her work. "Do you have to go back to you ship?" She asked quietly. The girl was like an innocent child. Pure and untamed. She looked at Wynter. "I didn't realize you lived so close to my home. It's hidden in the corals not far from here." She stated, trying to get him to join the conversation. @SirGrey
 
Over the the wide ocean. A small ship can be seen waving along with the oceans waves. "OOOooooooohhhhhh!!! Yar har sailing the sea! Yar har tis the life for me! Soon my siblings will ssseeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" Richard was singing in the top off his lungs over the their family ship's only Crows nest. He was trying to prolong the last note until his annoying singing was cut off by a loud gunshot. "Shut up!" A voice roared before the gunshot. "Aaah! Hey! What's the big idea!?" Richard said angrily as he looked down, only to find Henry and Eric looking back up to him. Henry looking angrily like always. While Eric kept a blunt expression while holding a smoking flintlock pistol. "Keep it down! i don't ye screaming like a scallywag up there!" Henry shouted to Richard. "I'll let you know brother that i! am not screaming. For i'm unleashing my golden voice across the blue ocean." Richard passionately said with a fine tone. Henry growled before speaking "Golden? more like rotten." Henry commented before taking the wheel. "Look Richard, i know you're happy. but you do know Henry had a bad morning right, so please keep it down and do your duty alright." Eric calmly said before heading down the second floor. Richard sighed and took out a telescope. Continuing to look for land.  

A beautiful, but slightly muffled voice came from just beneath the surface of the water, Ria laying in wait. Though at the moment she did not intend to intrance the men aboard, she was tired of having nothing to do, so began to sing, her voice now fully heard as she broke the surface. A song of which the pirates knew well, but some did not know that the sirens had adopted it. Hoisting herself up on a rock, she continued to sing, half of her tail in the water, the rest of her curvaceous form outside.

As the two merpeople were talking to each other, the pirate hunter gathers up the sword and pistol that he threw aside. Looking back towards the aqua-eyed mermaid called Cat, he says back "Well it shows I mean I don't know I would trust someone from the race I was brought up to hate so easily" in a sardonic tone. "Yeah it's why I prefer to hunt them, to be honest," he says his tone now more sarcastic. Looking over to the cave entrance were his rowboat was he responds saying "Do I have to get back to my boat, do you want me to be going" with a sly smile. Looking over to Wynter he asks "Sorry for invading your home fellow if you need me to go I will be one on my merry way". @LilyannaGaming @JayKuro
 
As Henry drives the ship gently. A soft and beautiful voice entered calmly in his ears. Closing his eyes in irritation. He thought that it was Richard singing again. Listening further. He realized that it was too beautiful and feminine to be Richard's. It can't be Elaine's since She never sings or speaks. Even if she did, it still won't sound like her. Henry stopped steering and called Richard "RICHARD!!!" He roared to his brother. Richard was startled by Henry's mighty shout. He even dropped the telescope and managed to catch it. He tried to catch it with his left hand and failed, but his other hand caught it flawlessly. "What is it brother!? Don't ye scare me like that!" Richard responded in time. "Get down here right now!!!" Henry demanded. Richard made a disappointed facial expression while flapping his lips, making a sound of a horse would make. "Coming." Richard replied as he squeezed both ends of the telescope making it smaller and more compact. Richard wore his brown leather work gloves, took the nearest rope that connects to the main deck to him, and slid down. "What." Richard said bluntly. "Go check the sides to see whose singing." Henry commanded. Richard placed his hands on his hips and raised an eyebrow towards Henry. "Singing? What singing?" Richard asked his brother.


After a few minutes the voice has sang another verse. Richard took notice of it. "Oh, that singing. Are you sure that not Elaine's?" Richard asked. "No, that sounds nothing like Elaine's voice." Henry answered in a serious tone. Richard found this pretty odd. And the song of this mysterious singer is not very familiar to him nor to Henry. "I'll go find this mysterious singer Henry. Do not worry." Richard decided to take action and began to scout the left side of the ship. There was no source of the voice. Richard decided to check the other side of the ship. He scrolled his eyes through the rocks next to them. His passed over a skin clad woman. Richard thought that it was normal so his eyes passed her over. Until a few seconds later, he realized that there is a woman singing over a rock in the middle of nowhere. Which was not normal. "Henry! Henry! I found her!" Richard rushed over to Henry. Henry was surprised that he actually found the source of the voice. "Her who's her!?" Henry asked him. "Ugh! The woman singing, look!" Richard grabbed Henry's hand and led him the side he has found the woman. Richard loudly cleared his throat while his right hand pointed to the beautiful girl. Henry was struck by the woman's appearance. "Now i know what you're going to say." Richard interrupted Henry with a mischievous smile on his face. Henry placed his hand over Richard and shushed him before speaking to the beautiful being. "Hello there. Do you need help?" Henry gently yelled. @FireMaiden
 
Cleodora waited patiently on top of the rock, her slender feet only just escaping the growing tide that began to smash against the briny rock surface. It foamed at the top, the churning water topped with a creamy  salt solution. It was beautiful, and she wanted to touch it but her being a mermaid prohibited that whilst she was in human form.


"Careful Cleo," The tiny starfishes whispered in her ear, wiggling their limbs in fright. "We will be still. We can't not. We will stretch our limbs whilst we can," 


"You should, otherwise we could all be caught," The mermaid replied under her breath, looking up to see the captain fussing on deck, turning the boat towards where she was, and then a woman who had grabbed a blanket, presumably to put her in. Cleodora' skin had begun to grow cold, understandably due to the strong winds that were attacking her bare body.  In human form she was reasonably vulnerable to conditions she could usually bear in the water. 


Seeing the boat drop into the water with the woman on it, she grew nervous, her body shaking. It was scary to be so upclose to a human, and she could only wait for the woman to come closer until she could climb into the boat and finally be in the real centre of danger.

Elizabeth was actually a lot less nervous than she thought she'd be. It wasn't like she was thinking of anything to take her mind off what she was doing, the thought of what she was doing being dangerous just didn't really occur to her. She steered the boat carefully to the rock the woman was on, getting as close as she could before looking up at her. "Be carefully getting on. I wouldn't want you to fall into the water since you said you can't swim." She said before smiling at her kindly, holding out her hands ready to help her onto the small boat. The blanket was sitting on her lap, and she was getting cold just looking at the other, her bare body meeting the force of the wind directly. "You're lucky the captain found you when he did, and that it wasn't some other captain... You could've frozen to death, and most captain aren't as nice as ours." She said her voice a bit low, though loud enough for the other to hear.

"it's okay, I really don't mind the company... I actually quite like it..." He said mumbling that last part so that only he could hear. He enjoyed listening to the exchanges of the two, and tilted his head a bit when Cat said she didn't live far from here. It was some interesting news for him, since he didn't know that anyone lived near him. It made him a bit relieved that not everyone hated his guts. He was quite glad that Sam hadn't been a pirate that had tried to take the two of them, as he didn't encounter humans often and he would rather them not be hostile when he met them.

Ria smirked, and turned, her face one of worry. She looked almost scared, terrified even, beofre she sunk inot the water. Gone for a few minutes, thoigh her voice not, she reappeared closer to the ship. "Hello? Yes, I'm just fine," She said, her voice still as alluring. @Vagabond Spectre

Eric took notice that it just went quite up in the decks. Earlier the sound of his brothers shouting were present, now it's just dead silence. Eric went up to the main deck to check on his brethren. "What is going on here?" Eric said as soon as he found the them. Henry and Richard turned their heads towards the voice that called to them. Richard replied to Eric. "Brother! Just in time! We were just observing this fine looking lady over here." Henry looked towards Richard with a blunt facial expression. "Richard. Crank the anchor down. were getting her up here. It's dangerous for her to swim alone. Their could be sharks out there waiting to eat her alive." Henry was mesmerized by the girl's appearance. "Lower thee anchor! Get on the anchor maam!" Henry shouted. Richard shouted what Henry just said. "Lowering the anchor!"


Richard untied the anchor's rope and held it. The anchor was supported by a pulley, all that Richard has to do is to just release the anchor gently. "Stop!"  Eric demanded Richard to stop midway. And Richard obeyed. "What?" Henry asked Eric what was wrong. "I don't feel sure about this Henry." Eric sounded very worried as he said his words. "And why is that?" Henry asked of him. "It's just... Remember the last time we tried to do this. We were almost killed because that victim we rescued was actually a pirate captain! We don't want that to happen again now do we Henry? Pull the anchor up Richard." Eric answered Henry and commanded Richard to pull the anchor up. "Pulling the anchor!" Richard said energetically. "Look, that's the past Eric. What if she's just your regular sea survivor?"  Henry looked at Eric with a sad look on his face. Without command Richard mistook Henry's words as a command and lowered the anchor "Lowering it a little!" Richard lowered the anchor slowly. Eric deeply sighed and replied "Fine whatever brother. I'll go pick up Elaine to see what decision she has in mind." Henry did not want to Elaine to decide, so he commanded Richard to go down and ask the girl for assistance. "Richard, get in the anchor and ask her if she wants anything. I'll take care of the anchor." Richard pouted to Henry "What!? why me!?" Henry was about to speak until Richard realized that Henry can't swim if he falls off. This made him pout a bit more. "Fine. Atleast she won't notice the difference since we all look similar to each other." Richard said with a followed up grunt and rode on the ship's anchor. Henry gently lowered the anchor. Upon reaching the level of the girl. Richard immediately asked "Hello to ye. Do you need thy assistance?" Richard said in a charming tone.    
 
Cleodora watched as the woman began to steer the small boat towards her with extreme precision. It wasn't long before she had traveled right beside the rock, clearly as close as she possibly could. The girl seemed nice enough, kind enough even to have agreed to waving her from the rock. At least there would be another woman on board- ship crews rarely had them. In fact, Cleo hadn't come across any ships with a woman on board before. It was a surprise to her, but perhaps they'd become friends. Perhaps. "Are you the captain?" She asked, quickly returning the smile. This woman really was kind, even if she had been taking orders. Slowly, Cleodora looked around, making sure it was safe and easy to climb into the boat. Lifting one foot, she stepped into the boat elegantly, and the boat shook slightly at the sudden weight. Gripping onto  the woman's hands with a small "Thank you," before carefully slipping in, avoiding all water. The woman helping her had actually turned out to be exceptionally kind. "I didn't expect any women to be on board, but quite frankly I'm relieved...." Cleo began, voice soft and almost melodic, "The boat I was last on was full of crazy people, hence why I was left....stranded," she mumbled, gaze lingering on the pirate before her as she nervously smiled. The waves smashed against the bottom of the boat in an almost dramatic fashion. Listening to what the stranger said about the captain made her smile lightly; that was one question answered anyway- this girl wasn't the captain. "He must be exceptionally lovely, especially to allow me onto his ship. From experience I know many captains would not...And many because I'm deemed useless purely because I'm female but you know how it is, surely." Beautiful eyes dropping to the blanket, she swiftly lifted it, covering her whole body in it until she was decent. "I'm Sorry...I just assumed you brought it for me...And I would've frozen or drowned had you not found me. I am eternally grateful."
