"Sorry... It kind of slipped my mind, actually... I was just so... Simply dazzled by your qualifications that I didn't care that you were female, so.. I was going to just hope that maybe my crew could ignore it," I said with a laugh. I then looked back at her and knew that would be simply impossible... Especially since she was well fit and attractive. It was painfully obvious that she wasn't a normal crew member. You couldn't treat a woman the same on a boat as you did a male... It just wouldn't work that way. Especially not this one. Something tells me she can be vicious.

"Get off the sides of the ship you lousy men!" I yelled to the people crowded around the side of the boat. "Get back to work. I want to be able to pull out of this harbor in five minutes!" I then shook my head as people scurried away from the sides, grumbling to each other and tripping over random object- including people. I then sighed and stepped onto the boat. I stopped and waited for Haze to climb aboard as well. I would introduce her to the crew properly after she got her bags settled down in her bunk.
