Re: Chapter 2, Phase 2 - Decisions and Departures
Folding his arms across his chest, Lasuri leans back against the railing, and listens to the various talks exchanged around him. If one was to take a guess, one could say the Sea Drake looks... almost pleased. And one would not be far from the truth, either. There is a certain sense of appreciation that wells up in him when he listens to the men and women of the Cobalt Alliance discuss with one another, forging connections and alliances with one another, sharing plans and projects.
One could also wonder why the captain even takes a step back in this moment - and the answer to this question is rooted in many things. The most prominent one, however, is anchored in Lasuri himself, and his role as the Sea Drake; many seek the seas in order to gain fame and fortune, or to make a name for themselves upon its cruel waters. But the Captain has never desired fame or glory. As a youth, he was more muted and plain, always seeming to edge out of notice. Years later, he is now struck in a position of leadership - but to Captain Lasuri Leomaris, the true stars of the Alliance's story are its members, and not him.
And in this moment, it is with a certain sense of pride that he watches the group of people ceasing to be an amalgam of individuals, and slowly but surely grow into an alliance. But now, the time for contemplation had reached its conclusion. It is time for him to step forward again, and have some work done. After all, that is his role, is it not?
"You're welcome to move to the position you with to, Miss Tethia. As I've said to you, you'll find no locked doors with us now." He turns towards the dark haired sailor, speaking as if he had been doing so all along, stepping back into the conversation as if he had never left it. "All you need is Mister Treon's permission, and all will be done. You're used to the Hammerhead and her working, and I know that any help and input your bring is going to be greatly appreciated. It's been a pleasure having you aboard the Dryad... I only hope it's been as much to you as for us." He turns towards Treon then, and smiles. "Take good care of Miss Tethia, Captain.
Stepping away from the railing, he steps forward, peering at both Jadira and Darel. "Well, that settles it then. Miss Thornbloom and Mister Darel will be our temporary communication officers. Given the logistics issues stated here, we'll make sure to plan our courses accordingly, so we can facilitate a good communication between the vessels. That's going to be mine and Mister Treon's responsibility. The rest, Miss Thornbloom and Mister Darel can arrange themselves."
"Allright, is everyone clear on the new objectives? If anybody has questions, it's time to voice them now. Otherwise, we'll start with our preparations, since we've got our work laid out ahead of us."
