Asha waved furiously and energetically as Xander watched them walk towards him. The pair was odd, she was so empathetic and he was so dour. Elias wore nothing but black. Emo Goth kid for the win. His hair made Xander smile, it was ingenous way to keep his hair from his face, thought he'd never worn his hair that long before - must be a goth thing. Or an emo thing - added extra protection.
Xander smiled at Asha's greet and tried not to stare too hard at Elias' aura. The man might not understand and take it the wrong way. Still made him sick to his stomach if he looked for too long but Xander wanted to figure it all out. Why did he want to help so badly? It had to be written in those images.
Asha's question drew him from his thoughts and Xander pulled Tobias around him like a shroud. It wasn't home but it was close enough. "The Kelsie is her name and we can leave as soon as the crew has the supplies on board." Xander lead the way to the gang plank that was lowered for their arrival. As he passed by Elias Xander reached out and an a finger underneath a braid with a bright smile on his face. "It's good to see your face."
He let his hand drop but the smile never faded. There had to be some way to make the man smile or at the very least do something other than glower at life. Xander lead the way up the gang plank and met the captain. "Dimitri this is Asha and Elias. Elias here is the one who's doing the navigating. You go where he says."
Dimitri was a big burly man, reminded Xander of a lumberjack but instead on a boat minus the peg leg. A pirate to be sure but he spoke with a heavy russian accent not the burly pirate you'd think from his look. "Whatever you say Tobias. It's Preston's money you are putting in his hands." He nodded towards Elias.
The captain looked at Asha with a smile that probably said he'd like to bed her before talk to her, but he just smiled and Xander couldn't help that tug of protectiveness for the naive girl who'd he'd befriended for no reason what so ever. "A pleasure miss." Dimitri said offering his hand before he turned to Elias with the same hand. "Tell me about our plans." He put an arm around Elias and tugged him towards to captain house and Xander laughed a little but he smiled at Asha and followed in their wake.
