Engines & Tobacco

[Captain Erastus]

Sitting at the large ship dock sat the mighty ship of the one and only Captain Erastus. His men repeatably carried large crates into the ship, chuckling and speaking with each other. The Captain was easily spotted. Standing at the height of 6'2, the large Captain donned impressive, blue and white striped clothing along with a large turban. His long beard fell down past his chest. In his hand was a large Churchwarden pipe, which he calmly puffed on as waited patiently for the arrival of [member="Lady Kay"].

The woman was invited in order to add extra defenses as the Captain carried over 10,000 pounds of tobacco, weapons, and crops. The Captain simply adjusted his eyepatch, took a look at his pocket watch and chuckled loudly as he watched his men.

It was a peculiar summons, but given that Kay was very low on credits and didn't want to keep borrowing from her adopted brother, she had to answer. So here she was, entering the docking bay and looking around for the Captain. Seeing a man puffing on a pipe and watching everyone else, he had to be in a position of authority.

"Are you the Captain? I am Kay."

He slowly removed the pipe from his mouth, examining the woman. "Lady Kay, I assume?", He asked, quickly offering his hand. "A pleasure. I am Captain Jeremiah Erastus. Captain of the Mobilis, here.", The Captain burst into laughter, quickly sliding his pipe into his elegant coat. Running a hand through his beard, he nodded slowly. "If you'd like, I shall show you the interior of our ship, Ma'am.".

The Captain nodded to a nearby crew mate, gesturing him for him. The crew mate quickly leaped towards the captain and awaiting orders. "This is Lady Kay. You treat her with as much respect you would give any other ship mate. Now, could you escort her to her cabin?", however the Captain suddenly came to a halt, spinning around to face the woman.

"Unless you have questions, Madame."

She nodded and then shook his hand. "Good to meet you, Captain." And then he laughed and led her towards the ship, assigning a crew member for her. She raised a brow as the Captain called her a few things, switching from Lady, to Ma'am to Madame. Clearly he hadn't a clue on how to address her. "No questions, just a request. Please just call me Kay. I carry no titles..." At least not anymore. Maybe one day, but not now.
