"It's good to be back in the Royal City after so long, even if all the merchants here are lying scum!"
Nik thought to himself as he strode through the streets looking through the wares hoping to find something that might interest him.

Jaklyn and her daughter were going about the royal city, not openly, but in a sort of disguise. Pirates were still unwelcome here, and now they knew Jaklyn's face, and had long known the identity of her daughter. As Jaklyn moved through the streets, her senses alert, she didn't see Nik. However, her daughter did. "Mom, isn't that the pirate that was is in the castle when you came to get me? His dad's still in the dungeon?"

Nik perused the goods with an eye of scrutiny. He turned to the merchant at the table he was standing next to and said
"How much for two crates of Sky Steel?" he brought out a small bag made of an old Dragon skin, it was bulging with gems and coins.

Jaklyn watched Nik carefully after her daughter had mentioned him. As she approached him, she leaned up to his ear and whispered. "Got a quite a bit of money there....don'tcha Captain?" She said the last part low, not wanting to have a Guardsman overhear and cause trouble.

"What? Oh, you mean this? This is nothin. Got this on me last trip, got me a new ship and a new crew, some new duds, and some extravagant new weaponry." He said just as quietly, slightly yet defensively holding his hand very close to the bag.

Jaklyn overlooked his remarks about a new ship and a new crew Since when does he sail with a crew? And a new ship? What?. Instead, she turned to defensive almost anger when she saw him guarding the bag. Raising her eyebrows and giving him a dirty look, her voice was cold when she spoke. "Do you think I'd steal from you?"

"Ye really take me for that kinda person?" he said looking hurt. "No, I wouldn't think ye'd steal from me but who's to say some pick pocket wouldn't try to take it while I had me attention on you?" He turned to the merchant. "Ye gonna answer a pirate or does 'e have to shoot ye first?" he said with mild humor and anger.

"Be careful." She mummered. "Pirates are espicailly unliked lately. " She still wondered about the fact that he got a new ship.

"HA, Pirates not welcomed in the Royal City, THAT'S a surprise let me tell you." he said as loudly as possible. "Well then, if any guardsman here does not accepts my presence in the city and BUYING my goods then they can challenge me here and now." he said rebelting his money pouch..."Apparently shop keepers here aren't too friendly....well I'll be on me way to find a merchant to actually sell me what I need." He said turning slowly and walking down the crowded path.

"Since when have you got a new ship?" Jaklyn asked, then looked around as if searching for someone.
"Sarah, where are Myra and her child?" She asked softly, speaking to her daughter. Sarah turned, searching the crowd. "I'll go find them."

He turned his head slightly, "On me last voyage if ye must know." he turned around suddenly hearing a clatter of metal. "Oh, the calvary is on it's way, Jaklyn, ye'd better come wit me if ye'd like to escape." he said with a smile on his face and an expression in his eyes that could scare even the most wild beast.

"But you were so proud of the dawn treader. It's hard to think of you without her." She mumbled, losing her cool for a moment as she looked around, hoping to quickly locate her daughter and the young tavern maid. When they found them, Myra turned and smiled at Nik. "Nice to see you again." Jaklyn interrupted her. "We've got to go."

"Aye, she was a good ship...but my new one is better." he said sauntering backwords. "Good to see you Myra....heard you got married. You don't want to go and miss out on all the fun do you?" He asked with a wicked glint in his eye.

Myra smiled at him softly. "I never actually married Z." She held her child close to her chest.
Jaklyn cocked her head at him. "And what's this about sailing with a crew? You used to wonder why I did, because you feared mutiny."
