Lee laughed a little at Raymus's comment about propelling her tails like a boat propeller. The thought made her curious if she could but kinda doubted it. Raymus seemed to have a special bond that Lee wasn't used to. She could sense through just by talking with him that they really hit it off since the egg event. After throwing a sleazeball out of the door and crying from anxiety, she probably was tired of the event already just by thinking about it alone. The energy he gave off with a bit of support by encouraging her to swim made her smile a little. Though, she had try before, but it ended up badly. Several people including her own brother had to save her skin with her stupid attempts to try.
"Yes, I have tried. Though no one has tried to stop me from trying," she smiled, nervously. Her father never really took her mother seriously that she needed to learn how to swim as well as learning magic. After all this time, swimming lessons wouldn't have hurt at all, DAD! She sighed thinking about it wishing her father wasn't too stubborn on magic either. Either way, she was very glad your father trained her in magic specifically anyways. Without it, she wouldn't be here at all. Raymus mentioned he didn't know either except the backstroke. She thought werewolves knew how to swim. Her face contorted into a irritated one mentioning he wasn't going to save her because of his expensive clothes. Rolling her eyes, that was the typical Blue Pegasus mage. "Typical. Clothes are clothes. Next time, wear something a bit more...worn. I may need some saving some time," she spoke, with a little bit of sarcasm.
The ship was in sight. She grew even more nervous, but Lector had her back. If anything, he would just carry her the whole time if he had to. The little exceed stood beside her with his arms folded with a cocky smile. He was so proud of Lee and looked up to her a lot. A lot of her anxiety was rising up. The kitsune formed her fists into a ball to keep from having a small anxiety attack. Therefore, she was not ready to go on this ship. That may all change if the ship is attacked. When the ship arrived, the whole crew showed up. they were all tall, slender men with a lot of upper arm strength from what she could tell just from their appearance. It reminded her of a whole legal pirate crew the way they were dressed in her opinion, but what did she know about pirates and their outfits. She just wanted something to punch right now.
The captain spoke saying they were going to set said and whoever had a problem was only a setback. Lee remained quiet the whole time. She heard a side comment saying about Raymus and how Blue Pegasus mage males were. She snickered at the side comment giving him a huge grin about his outfit like she had before. There was the urge to poke some fun, but she reminded quiet about it for now. Blue Pegasus was not Lee's first choice of a guild, but it was a good start to make some new connections and friends. Though, her family had a rich history with it and wanted to uphold her heritage. They never pressured her to really to do it, but it was really up to her choice. She pressure herself into it since It was the best option at the time. She liked the guild environment much better than the Rune Knights. After being kicked out of there she really disliked them.
She sighed, sitting down. Lee kept a close eye for any pirates coming upon the horizon. She pictured the classical version of pirates from the comics and books. The pantaloons, swords, and cannon balls looking for jewels and treasure. Money was always a motive for them and adventure from what her nephew had told her the past few times. He was solely convinced that he was going to be a pirate one day. But one thing at a time. She was waiting on something interesting to happen so she could take her mind off everything going on at once. She looked at Raymus with a stare. “Whatever we find we return, okay? The last thing I need is a bounty because you want to do something stupid.” She was reminding him to do the right thing which is what he would do, but she wanted to be clearly.
“Captain, Ship ahead!”
LeeAnn jumped out of her seat a little. Lector sat up and stared at horizon ahead of them. Lee narrowed her eyes to look at a tiny spect ahead. It was too small to see or understand what it the world it was. She turned her head to the werewolf next to her. “You probably have better eyes than I do. Can you see that spect ahead, right about there,” she asked. She suspected if werewolves have better sense of smell, they could clearly have a better sense of sight too? She was guessing a this point since she did not have a telescope of any kind.
