Keng looked over her shoulder to see Cyborg at the entrance to her room.
"Apparently getting knocked out by a blunt object while on guard duty at night is worse than getting drunk and having a party." grunted Keng as she shoved a few sketchbooks into her bag. She wasn't doing a very tidy job of packing, but she wasn't too worried. For the most part she really didn't have much to fit into the sac. "I'm being kicked off. I get to look forward to a niiiice, long, relaxing row to the nearest port. I guess that means you're head swabby now. Oh wait no, that's right. You're going to take on powder monkey duties now huh? That leaves just Evie then huh?" she paused to consider this. "Well, good thing Huntress banned rum then, otherwise this ship would be doomed." she half heartedly grinned and half shook her head as she threw the last of her belongings into the bag and closed it up with a sigh.

" Well I don't think that's fair. If you go I'm goin." Cyborg said.

"No Cyborg. This isn't your fault." she sighed again, walking past him and begun to head back above deck. She then paused and looked back at him. "Thanks though. I appreciate the offer. I suppose I might head back to my old werewolf pack or something. That would mean dealing with Kya but... at least I have somewhere to go. I'll be fine."
She smiled softly at him at these last words. "I'll be back one day though. Don't you doubt that.
...
...
We'll, I'll see ya later then. Say bye to everyone for me."
She walked around the corner, taking the steps up the stairs into the now unfittingly bright and cheery sunlight. Her footsteps made almost no sound as she walked over the wooden floor. It was as if she was already gone and was now simply a ghost of the past, leaving it's haunting. The boat was already set up for her. The closer she came to it the more certain she became that she didn't want to climb into it, that she didn't want to be lowered to the water below and slowly watch as the White Weewoo became smaller and smaller until it disappeared over the horizon with no hint of when she'd next see it and her cheery friends aboard.
"Well, this is it." she whispered to herself stepping into the boat with a great attempt to not look the meepits that watched her with their spooky eyes she would normally be happy to see. With one foot in she stopped and looked behind her, trying to take in whatever last details she could. It felt wrong to go without saying goodbye to everyone, but... those eyes were starring at her, waiting to send her off. They weren't exactly hostile, and she doubt they would attack but the way they watched her was more disturbing than she'd ever seen around them. Most of the crew was still asleep. They wouldn't know what had happened for another hour or so, and by then...
Keng shook her head and took her seat in the boat. The ropes and pullies creaked sadly as they swung, the only sound besides the waves to see her off as she picked up the oars and rowed away.

Hunty you made a big mistake and I'm not gonna forget it. Cyborg thought to himself.

(Drat, I missed me opp'rtunity.) "She let what harpen?!?!?! Leptonychotes yelled from his forecastle hammock. He bolted nearly upright and smacked his head against the forebeam when Zalophotario whispered about the events that conspired last night. He shook himself from the smack and checked the beam to ensure it hadn't cracked either.
He got up and went to inspect what part of the holds and quarterdeck had gotten taken. Zalpho hastily gallumphed along side him, soon Gueles and Doodle followed. As he gazed at the mess that was no longer there, he realized that all the bits he had planned to receive in his take were gone! Ned fluttered down and landed on his shoulder just as he had taken all of it in.
Suddenly, he erupted like a volcano, and Ned flew for the crow's nest, fearful for his feathers. "WHERE ER THAT KENG, ZALPHO. YE SHOW ME RIGHT NOW! I'M GOIN' TA KEELHAUL THAT MANGY, FLEA-BITTEN, GOOD FER NAUGHT, LOUT O' A CANID, SWABBY!!!" ((Drat, an' I had such plans fer this event, too.))
Zalpho pointed over the weatherdeck to where the dinghe was just about a speck on the horizon. "Tootle, click, click, chirp chirrup, tch, tch, hawm." He said in his thick Tuskan speech.
Leptony's fists clutched and his body shook like a earthquake tremor was going through his body. He almost stomped his foot hard on the deck but realized he'd put his foot through the planking if he did so; which only made him shake even more with anger.
"Run fer it, he's gonna blow." Gueles the jetsam said with a deadpan voice and rambled over to the leedeck.
"Wait for me!" Doodle exclaimed as she nipped Gueles tail fin to hitch a ride.
They had only just started to run across the quarterdeck when Leptony blew his stack. Poor Zalpho, could only cover his head with his paws on the deck.
"YEEEEAAAARGGGGHHHH! and this began a tirade, if one could call it such. For if it was possible to create a dissertation from curses and foul language in seven different languages on this world and others Lepton had managed to spit it out in Keng's direction. So foul was the speech that the Weewoo's white paint would run and droop if it could at his voice.
He huffed and ranted for about 5 minutes before his temper ebbed over the lost booty. Then, as suddenly as it started, he was calm again and staring out at the dinghe. In spite of all the undisciplined. wreckless, and irresponsible things Keng had done, she was still apart of the crew, even if she was estranged. That conscionable thought plagued Leptony to calm and it wasn't sitting right in the pit of his stomach.
"Doodle." Leptony said with an aire of duty.
The white flotsam dutifully scuttled back across the deck to her human's side. Swinging a salute she blurted out, "Aye, aye Cap... I mean matey!"
It did Leptony's heart good to hear Doodle willing to obey before he'd even laid out the order. "Get t'gether whate'er goodies n' potions ye need an' see Keng ta whate'er port she makes. She'll need company an' someun what can act'ally catch fish."
Doodle hustled back to her room to do as instructed.

" HEY THAT MANGY, FLEA-BITTEN, GOOD FER NAUGHT, LOUT O' A CANID, SWABBY HAPPENS TO BE MY BEST FRIEND ON THIS SHIP, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HER, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME!!!!!" Cyborg yelled as he grabbed his cutlasses, " SO DO YOU WANNA SOLVE THAT PROBLEM HERE AND NOW? CAUSE I"M READY IF YOU ARE!!!!!"

" HEY THAT MANGY, FLEA-BITTEN, GOOD FER NAUGHT, LOUT O' A CANID, SWABBY HAPPENS TO BE MY BEST FRIEND ON THIS SHIP, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HER, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME!!!!!" Cyborg yelled as he grabbed his cutlasses, " SO DO YOU WANNA SOLVE THAT PROBLEM HERE AND NOW? CAUSE I"M READY IF YOU ARE!!!!!" Either Leptony just ignored Cyborg's challenge or didn't hear him amid his own mass of thoughts. That aside, even with the little cutlasses the kougra had, Leptony's armspan was longer than cyborg had; to mention nothing of his noded and knotted armor-like skin. The brutes features had a concerned complection. Keng on her own was a fearful thought to carry. His look of concern broke when little Doodle scuttled back to him. Her cloak, pack and floppy hat all jingled and clanked with everything she was taking, but she was undaunted in her enthusiasm to go on an assignment for Leptony. "I'm all ready to go sir!" Doodle squealed. Zalpho placed a paw on Doodle's melon and poked a digit in his own chest and bellowed up to Leptony "Hoot, tootle, haaaawoom!"Leptony snapped outta his vigil an' looked o'er at Cyborg, then to his indominable crew-pets. "Put yer toys away Borg, tis no sense in venigratin' aye wit' yer misplaced loyalties." He turned his back to the kougra and addressed the flotsam and tuskaninny. "If ye insist upon goin' wit' yer baby sis then so be it. Take care o' one another an' ye pertect that lycan. She'll be nuff trouble wit'out all of the problems she seems ta attract." |

( Leptony, Cyborg's cutlasses are not small, both are a good size, Cyborg has a large armspan because he's a large((not to mention well built)) kougra and his skin isn't noded or knotted armor, it's smooth metal covering only his arms, one leg and a part of his face.)

(I'll give that a fair shake. Avg. Kougra 65cm at the shoulder, modify fer leg hight anthro. on a long body 65cm + 65cm(0.6) = 65cm + 39cm = 104cm; 104cm * 1in./2.54cm * 1ft./12in. = 3.4121 ft. An' ye mentioned he were o'erly tall so I'll recon an extra half height in me imaginin': 3.4121 ft. + 3.4121ft.(0.5) = 3.4121ft. + 1.7061ft. = 5.1182 ft. = 5' 1.5" tall kougra... Er I off anywhere in me fig'rin' yer extreme size fer a kougra? Har, har... I wanna make sure.) With a loud pair of splashes, the two sea neopets were off to follow Keng on her strangely aloof adventure.
Leptony planted both his mits on the railing of the quarterdeck and watched them give pursuit o' Keng. He was keenly aware Cyborg was still behind him and probably still ready to pounce upon him like he was a large bison or scorchio. "Er ye goin' ta just wait there an' stew lad er do ye wanna catch yer last glimpse o' yer bucko afore the h'rizon gobbles her up outta sight?" He said finally to the kougra over his shoulder.

" Ok send a message to Hunty for me, I'm leaving. I'm through with the pirates. There's no reason for me to be here anymore since my only real friend here is gone." Cyborg said as he gathered up his things, including the squirrels and his rum.

" Ok send a message to Hunty for me, I'm leaving. I'm through with the pirates. There's no reason for me to be here anymore since my only real friend here is gone." Cyborg said as he gathered up his things... Leptony listened to the tirade behind him thoughtfully. Still he didn't bother to turn and watch Cyborg perhaps make his own mistake. Though it gave a glimmer of hope in Leptony's mind as he commented dryly to Cyborg. "If Keng was yer on'y friend, then why didn' ye leave wit' her? Er fer that matter, not make more friends?" |

" I wanted to go with her, but she asked me not to so I respected her wishes, like a real friend would. I had other friends on this ship, but after trying to maroon me those friendships ended." Cyborg replied to the nosey pirate.

Leptony finally turned about and placed his elbows against the railing he'd been leaning on. He then wetted a finger and felt for the wind, then looked off in the direction of the storm. But seeing as noone else was about and it appeared that Hunty was below somewhere's, he looked at his feline companion and offered.
"Seems to me we ain't got nuff loot abord now ta make a full share fer anyun' eh? An' it a'so seems ta me that whoe'er robbed us did so in yon storm. Now mayhaps I'm off'n me rocker, but seems ta me if'n they came wit' the storm, mayhaps the left n' foller wit' that maelstrom. So what say we turn the ol' Weewoo aboot an' see if'n we can't find us some thieves?.."
He seemed to have finished what he wanted to say and carefully made his way up to the helm with the intent to take the wheel and turn the vessel smartly.
Just before he reached it, though he turned back to Cyborg to actually finish his thought and give Cyborg a democratic opportunity to agree with him. "Er at the very least we find another poor smuck ta replenish our loses from! Har, har!"
The great brute then paused Cyborg's reply. Of course, Leptony had sort of forgotten about the little rodents standing guard over the helm...

( Anything Cyborg says I don't mean.)
" I don't know about you, you good fer nothin tub o lard, but I'm leaving this ship. Now I suggest you let me leave in peace." Cyborg said as he turned to leave.
