Since then, Hanxi spent two decades as an adventurer, body guard, mercenary, and caravan guard abroad--not motivated by money, but the hopes that he would find clues of the whereabouts of Lim Toh Khiam.

Recently, Hanxi overheard rumours of a powerful pirate of exceptional skill, luck and knowledge, who needed a crew. There was no confirmation from this land’s kind if this captain was a privateer but Hanxi was desperate. He did not pay much attention to the two Dwarves in the area or the other adventurous-looking types, but he headed aboard the rather fashionable ship.

Hanxi, wearing the characteristic internationally-mixed armour of Beihai:

"I'm sure you could do much better than this ship, too," Havoc says gently. Belatedly, she remembers that this ship is supposed to be haunted, and gives the taffrail some apologetic pats. "Just what with its state, an' all. The honorable Captain has been, ah, hospitablized for the past three days, master dwarf." She opens her jacket, revealing her side to be heavily bandaged. "I happened to be in on account of a misunderstanding with a goblin and his knife. We got along. The Captain and I, not, ah, not the goblin."

Annie just listened to the conversation between Havoc and the Mountain dwarf. She was grateful that he wasn’t trying to steal this ship and was shocked that he waited three days for the Captain to arrive here. She was feeling more comfortable on going on this adventure. She looked at the Mountain dwarf and said,”My name is Annie. What is yours?” She knew there was more things to learn about fighting so she hoped that the crew of this ship will teach her to new ways to fight. -Dances-

" Three days? He's been in that hospital for three weeks! Every tavern in town has talked about nothing but since he showed up, I've been trying ta' get in there and talk ta' the man for two! " Hraldmir replied with a hint of exasperation, frowning at the wrong information the odd human gave. The injury looked real enough, but judging by his recollection he'd either heard wrong or he'd taken a hit to the head from that goblin as well. Bloody goblins, couldn't trust the dirty little vermin. Almost as bad as orcs.

Then the elf spoke up again, though rather than reply to his sarcasm she dove right into introducing herself instead. He narrowed his eyes at her slightly, trying to gain a little insight into what her thought process was supposed to be. The more she spoke the younger she seemed, and given how slowly elves matured he wouldn't be surprised if the girl hadn't even reached her 50th year.

" My name is Hraldmir. Tell me lass, just how many winters have you seen? " I am Inferi.

Finally. Finally they would be off, back to sea rather than sitting here and waiting for the rot of the civilized world to creep up and cover them. It wasn’t even a surprise that he had somehow managed to find new crew members despite being stuck on a deathbed since arrival, as somehow those things always managed to work themselves out. Crewing a ship by himself was not as hard when the ship was slightly alive, but it still felt better to have more than a single living being onboard.

Rousing herself from her home within the main mast, the spirit stepped out and onto the deck, her inaudible footsteps touching just slightly above the planks themselves as she slowly and gracefully made her way towards the bow. At this point in time, there was nobody on board, for her communicae from the captain had been received before those near the ship had made their way there. They would arrive shortly, but not before she was able to situate herself on the bow and pull a spectral lyre from the air beside her.

Being dead had its perks, she had to admit. Any of the instruments she would have had to keep near her in life were eternally available in death, and although it was both a blessing and a curse her music and song stretched through more space than it could have before she had passed beyond the veil. There was no need for sustenance either, although she did miss the many feelings that a living body could experience. Being part of the ship was different than being alive.

Humming softly to herself, legs hanging off the side of the ship as she stared out into the ocean, her fingers began dancing across the strings of the instrument she held. It was gentle, barely enough to make noise, but once anyone was on the ship it was possible that they might hear it faintly. She had been aware of everyone from the moment they got close, but had, for at least the moment, chosen not to get involved with their affairs. The captain had said others were coming, after all. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

"Three weeks?" Havoc blinks. "Oh, well, they moved me around a lot in the hospital, so I only became neighbors with him three days ago. Seems I talked too much for the other patients. Oh, yes, the nurse said not a ghost's whisper could slip betwixt my prattle." She looks between the two, then notices the fourth arrival. "Say! Well, aren't they well-armed!"

She waves down at Hanxi. "That's one nice sword, Uncle!"

Annie was surprised that the captain was in the hospital for three weeks and every tavern in town has talked about nothing since he showed up. She replied in a calm voice,”Nice to meet you Hraldmir. I saw 14 years of winter. I know how to survive the winter and anything else. Why do you ask?” -Dances-

Hraldmir's frown deepened as he got his answer, eyes shifting between the human and the elf - the former making something of a half-hearted attempt to speak up for the girl, though by the look on his face it didn't exactly come across as the most convincing. He regarded Annie again, perceptive gaze looking over her weapons with a critical eye - nothing special, probably the work of a human village blacksmith, would never stand up to good dwarven make - though very few weapons could. There was a reason his people were renowned for their craftsmanship.

For a child the elf was abnormally well built, calloused hands suggesting she'd held a weapon for a long time - but not necessarily used it. He shook his head, eyes twitching to the human as he replied.

" You know as well as I elves don't mature nearly as fast as you humans do, " He grunted, a weary eye passing over the sword on the human's back again. His eyes returned to Annie. " She's little more than a toddler ta' her own people. We dwarves aren't as long-lived as the elven folk, but traditionally we're not even adults 'til fifty. " He paused, thinking. " To a human it'd be the equivalent of sending a four year old ta' the frontlines of war. "

Hraldmir crossed his thick arms, critical eye remaining on Annie. " This ship isn't one bound for your dreams of being a hero in some far off land, lass. You'd sooner be told ta' cut down innocent folk for their gold than save them. That the kind of adventure you want? " I am Inferi.
