Thread: Open Skies, Smoking Guns(Myself x F R O S T)

Mercury's shirt was certainty a good look for the neko, and was going to raise all sorts of amusing questions once they had to deal with other crew. That fun of course was for later. The Dragon still couldn't help but appreciate the tightness of that shirt on her body, especially with her more than ample bust straining against it and nipples straining against fabric MEANT to leave little to the imagination. It worked well on her despite being designed for him, and who knows, with the way she looked he was just that much more tempted to not reclaim it... Plus, he could almost sense the excitement from her, which he ignored for now. The Dragon just loved to tease. He was also pleased with his performance with the door. Now, it would be worth noting that another dragon would have likely sent the entire door sailing into the room off the hinges with a strike like he delivered, but two kicks to a pretty sturdy door was enough to satisfy the drake for now. Once the captain had been dealt with Mercury turned to his partner, raising a thin silver brow when she spoke, bemoaning her lack of a chance to loot and noting that it may be best to report to the leaders of the boarding party. The Dragon's response was a shrug, pulling the least expensive looking sheet from the bed and using it to actually hogtie and gag the merchant captain to ensure that their looting and his presentation would go uninterrupted. The Merchant captain, still blubbering over the rather nasty break in his arm received an admonishment from the dragon, who teasingly crouched next to him and scolded him for pointing a gun at a dragon before finally standing up and addressing the Neko. Yeah, I guess you have a point, best get up to the top and check on them before the crew executes either of them or the Captain drags your little elf off for interrogation His eyes wandered over the room and a feisty smile struck his face. Buut... the night is still young. With the captain hogtied Merc stepped out and reached out his hand, running one of his talons over the desk's fine wood, admiring how it resisted even the pointed tip of his claw. Even if they missed out on most of the looting, the loot wouldn't be shared on an every man for himself basis, the captain would distribute the majority of it. Mercury however had a personal interest in some of the items inside this chamber. Well, we -are- in the merchant captain's quarters, I don't see any harm in doing just a bit of looting on our way out... Mercury said nonchalantly, it was unlikely he stored his entire wealth in this room, but smaller items that couldn't be trusted to the crew to secure could easily have been stowed in a chest or safe inside this very room unless he was a sort to keep a treasury onboard the ship, and that would be guarded by a door even Merc couldn't break down. There shouldn't be any harm in taking a whack at it either, especially if there was gold or jewels to add to his collection. The Dragon began to investigate the desk, pulling out drawers and checking with sharp talons inside for any false panels or special spots There is going to be a safe somewhere, and I am sure a man like this would keep... at... least... Kangraah The last word was in draconic, and exclamation of pleasure, roughly the equivalent of Bingo There were actually quite a few somewhat valuable items in the drawers, gilded letter openers, writing equipment, but when Mercury't talons touched cloth he quickly grabbed it and pulled a fist-sized bag from underneath. A swift squeeze gave the telltale clink of coins and something else, which the Dragon examined with uprising dexterity, opening and examining the silvered coins inside with a grin. The Neko had likely known mercury long enough to know that the Dragon appreciated shiny things, the shinier the better from valueless glass baubles to priceless mithril coins which he adored, Mithril shone much like his own scales. He also extracted a large, dark ruby from the bag about the size of a human's eye across, which he tossed to her. He also extracted a large silvery coin from the bag his own prize and tucked it away into his Kama. He would search through the bag at his own pleasure later, but most of it would likely be added to his horde under his room or added to the overall loot from the raid. There is bound to be more, a safe or chest... But we can find them later The Dragon walked over to the human and picked him up, throwing him over his shoulder and carrying him out, gesturing to the neko and also picking up the gun that the man had dropped to give to her, using his dexterous tail to do so. It was an over-under design, not as fancy as the officer's pistol but a good holdout weapon capable of firing two small rounds, perfect for self defense. The trip to the upper decks would be easy with the soldiers dead or captured, their weapons added to the pirate ship's own armory and their goods being loaded to be sorted out soon. Likely one of the boarders had already signaled for the ship to approach so the spoils and captives could be loaded on board. When he did finally emerge from below decks he smiled, relishing being outside yet again and having the sun warm his silvery scales. He would stretch and smile, walking over to where the captives had been rounded up before unceremoniously dumping the body of the merchant captain into the middle of them, looking for the blonde and the elf, smiling when he did see them, sitting by eachother and cooperating, looking even less frazzled than the greencoats they had captured. The elven mercenary of course avoided eye contact and blushed slightly upon seeing the neko when she emerged behind Mercury but otherwise said nothing. Got the Captain, and the Officer... Call the good captain! Merc shouted, not really caring if she had already been contacted, more declaring that it was HIM that won the game and the challenge set forth before glancing at the blonde. The neko had mentioned that he might have some special say with the captives... well, if they were willing to join them and didn't smell like they would try anything stupid the captain might let them join up... they both had been captured without much in the way of injury after all, and the Captain herself might be interested to see that they had such an exotic specimen of an elf with them.
