    Dorian scoffed, his voice hauntingly rolling from Suri's mouth. "You sink the ship and Noah dies with it." He said coolly. "Which accomplishes nothing for neither of us. Instead, I offer an exchange. You've been kind enough to bring my dear sister so far. Return her to me, and I'll release your...

    A small gasp escaped Surraya as the mast of the Raze violently exploded, showering the docks with shattered debris. In just a matter of seconds, the crew of the Maw had crippled the docked ship. Hope flicked in her chest as she stepped forward, tightly gripping the railing. "Impressive." She...

    She took a deep breath to settle her nerves, tightening her grip on the railing as she stared out towards Lament. A sense of foreboding hung over her, like something horrible was going to happen. To be fair, something was about to happen. The Maw descended upon the port like a leviathan from...

    Surraya followed Naser out onto the deck, slipping past him as he called out the commands to ready the ship. Anxiety fluttered in her stomach, not from the prospect of burning Lament to the ground, but with worry about what news Arc would bring. Vex moved to greet Suri with a warm hung and a...

    The pair spent the next little while in meandering conversation and comfortable silence. Surraya enjoyed listening to Naser's tales, whenever he had one to share. She'd been about to ask him another question, to prompt him into another story, when there was a firm knock at the door. One of...

    "No wonder he was vague on the details... knowing Noah, he feels like he failed." She said, shaking her head. The story rang true. Noah was quick to step in when he thought someone else needed help. He was a pirate, but one with honor and compassion. It's why he'd agreed to keep Surraya on his...

    A sad, understanding smile touched Suri's lips at Naser's response. She knew that it was true, Noah wasn't one to give up so easily. All she could do was hope the stubborn bastard didn't die if it came down to that. His freedom could very well rely on his ability to let her go. She crossed one...

    Suri dipped her head in agreement, a faint smile touching her lips. "Noah's a good man and a great Captain. We make a surprisingly good team. He's a rare find for people like us." She mirrored Naser's posture, leaning back in her chair as she ran a hand through her dark curls. Her smile...

    "You've taught him well in most things, Naser." Suri corrected, holding the Pirate Lord's gaze with an earnest smile. "You did right by him, and you do right by your crew. That's more than most can say in this world. Don't be so hard on yourself." She leaned forward, starting to separate out...

    "Not surprisin' that a Pirate of your renown would make a few enemies." She teased him gently. Suri played her last stone and leaned back to look down at the board with a warm smile on her lips. A tactician would have likely wanted to pull his hair out at the game, but she was quite pleased...

    "I grew up in Teth, actually." She said with a small smile, laying down her stones while she spoke. Gradually a vague image of crashing waves was starting to take life. It was a rough design, given the media she was using, but discernable nonetheless. "Always been around ships and the water...

    "Everything in balance." She murmured, continuing on with her casual plays. Suri didn't seem to be placing strategically, instead a small pattern was beginning to emerge in the layout of her stones -- she was creating something closer to art than claiming territory. She tutted quietly under...

    She smiled at his response, then lowered her eyes back down to the board. Naser's plays seemed for more methodical and meticulous than her own -- that wasn't to say she didn't have a plan. The soft click of stones being played filled the silence for a few minutes, Suri perfectly comfortable with...

    Suri swept her dark eyes over the board and she smiled at the story. She enjoyed listening to Naser speak, his deep voice seemed to rumble to thunder from a distant storm on the horizon. It was calming, but also bespoke of the danger ahead if you weren't careful. She reached out and took the...

    "Haven't played Stones in awhile." She remarked as she went to fetch the board and container from the cabinet. The game was set out on the table and she took a seat opposite the old pirate. "Do you prefer black or white?" She asked him with a grin, waiting to see which color of stones he'd choose.
