The tavern at Cerak-AtThul was an absolute mess, drunkards strewn on the floors and passed out on tables. Talia found herself in a corner, and she was picking at her teeth with a fishbone. Toothless Bill was talking to potential recruits to come sail aboard her ship The Salty Bitch, and he was promising treasures and adventures out in the blue sea. Talia’s thoughts were elsewhere, and she thought about all the Kivren she was going to hunt and kill. Their scales were worth quite a bit in the black market, and their hearts were delicacies and sold for fortunes.
“Billy!”
“Aye!”
“How many have we got?”
“Er…” He scratched his chin and grimaced, “We’re havin’ a bit a trouble this time…” He was afraid to make eye contact with her - Talia was known for her temper - “M-Maybe if-if we was to pay a little bit more-”
He stopped speaking as Talia threw an empty flask at his head. Talia spat out the fishbone and scowled at him, “Do I look like I have extra money to give away?! That’s the whole point of getting a better crew, you damn amoeba!”
Toothless Bill looked as if he would shit himself, and promptly shut up. Talia growled in frustration, glancing up to look at the prospects they could recruit from the tavern. Most of them looked too old, too drunk, too stupid or just plain wretched.
