Looked like whatever had happened, they had a new friend and it was time to go. Varrick wasted no time in joining the crew the get the ship ready to leave. If it was important enough to leave R and R, it was important enough to do so in a rush.
"So boss, who exactly is our new friend in your...
Well that had been a nice bath, Varrick felt reinvigorated and calm now. That sensation of calm lasted until exactly 27.5 seconds, not long after he had gotten back dressed. As the left the public baths, the tell tale signs of a general panic were to be seen.
"One night.... you guy couldn't...
I love to imagine that while this epic fight is going on, Varrick is just relaxing, completely unaware of what is going on... until the explosions start happening.
In barely few minutes, the situation had turned into a highly complicated and divisive issue and now no one was sure how to proceed.
"Yeah, the armor on our ship is still a problem.... I had a thought about that but that's more a long term thing. I hear skysteel is very light and I think it...
The mention of Fair Folk brought a frown at Varrick's face. Even more than a year later, his hatred for them still burned hot, like the embers of his forge. His hand briefly rested on the blade he always carried with him, one entirely made of cold iron. For a moment, he had difficulty focussing...

"Buh!"
The jump from Varrick indicated that he had not noticed Stalking Tiger approaching.
"Don't sneak on people like that." He calmed down a bit after a few seconds. "I don't mind."
Once their supplies had been arranged, Varrick's stomach began rumbling. He had built a surprising appetite in the time.
"So boss, feel ready to eat our first meal that isn't rations in weeks ?"
Varrick has let Axtis do the talking during negotiations. She was far better at these thnigs than he was, there was no argument there. Instead, he made sure to inspect every supply that was brought, checking the quality and ensuring she knew exactly what she was buying.
He did quietly listen...
Does it really matter that much who is main ? It's not like vows of fidelity are part of the standard Exalted dating scene. Multi point harems that requires charts and maps are more funny anyway.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy, that's what many would consider this town. The fact it called itself Lawless was just... overdoing it. What was the point of calling your town Lawless ? That would be like someone calling himself Killer or Thief.... come to think of it, the crowd he...
