"There are many out there. A world of people like us that are unknown to society. Many you would not know unless they said something." He stated. "It's just some are more rare then others, such as the halflings. Vampires and Werewolves are more common, mostly because they are the ones most able to pass ourselves off as human." Sebastian stated.

"I'm surprised they're so friendly to each other" she said, thinking now about his men on his ship "From my knowledge even the same species can have hatreds. Then again thats true for humans as well" she said "I've actually never even met a full blooded Lycan other than my father. Mostly because they're quite likely to kill me on sight for being half human"

"They have learned to rely on each other. They have their arguments, as many families do, but they realize the advantage of the connection." He stated, looking towards her once more. "Most of them I found in bad situations, so they have a common ground of keeping themselves in a better situation."

"Maybe it's just the Lycan kind that are so hateful" she mused closing her eyes fighting back the instincts to turn again clenching her fist "I should help lift the mast. The longer we sit here the greater our chances of another pirate attack"

Sebastian nodded once. "The next chance we get, I would like for you to meet the crew of the Nightmare." He said, looking towards her as he stood and moved to help her and the others with getting things back in order so that they could get moving once more.

Amelia stepped out onto the deck and removed her coat, shifting immediately as she did. She looked down at the men, feeling exposed and self-conscious in this form, feeling like she'd rather walk on deck naked than like this. She ignored it as best she could as she moved and took hold of the mast once the men were ready. Once she had lifted it and was holding it in place they would have to move fast to build supports and steady it enough that it could withstand the stress of the wind holding it. It was, at best, only going to last a couple days so they would have to make port again soon and have the ship properly and fully repaired.

None of the men seemed to be bothered by her shift in form and got to work quickly.
Sebastian directed the repairs quickly before glancing over towards Samuel. "Take it easy into port." He told him. "We are going to have to get this fixed properly. Unfortunately it is going to affect our ability to get there on time." He shook his head slightly. "Not much can be done unfortunately."

Amelia move back to her coat, the shift back seeming even harder than it had been the first time and once it was done she held her head, obviously in some pain. but she got up and looked out at the men still tense and uncertain

"Get some rest, missy." Samuel said as he came over. "We can get it from here."
The men seemed concerned for her when they saw her in pain. "Aye." They agreed, a few smiling towards her.
Sebastian looked towards Amelia and nodded once. "Family cares for each other."
"Aye." was the unified sound that spread across the ship in response to the fact that they agreed family took care of each other. Though a few were nervous, they knew that she had never done anything to harm them and that things had been running well since her arrival. They viewed her as family and saw no reason for her to be afraid to be there.

Amelia looked at them and simply nodded wanting nothing more right now than to withdraw to her room, which she locked behind herself. She wrapped herself in her coat as usually and laid back on the bed not falling asleep though but rather laying awake fearful and nervous.

A few days on found the ship pulling into port and Sebastian moving to talk with men to get the ship repaired. He knew they would be down for a few days so gave the men their pay so that they could take some shore leave during the time the repairs were happening.

Amelia kept with her duties but she was quieter and more reserved than before, still trying to get a feel for things knowing that what she was was going to change how they treated her in some ways whether they were aware of it or not.
As she stepped of the ship she closed her eyes for a moment, looking back. She secretly had brought the most important item or two that she possessed so that, just in case someone said anything, she could easily make a get away. She nodded to Sebastian as she stepped of the ship then froze for a second.
Walking along the road was a very old man who was clearly blind. His face was wrinkled and his legs wobbled. Someone bumped into him and he started to topple but Amelia was across the area quick and caught him
"Watch where you;re going!" she snapped to the person who bumped into the man, though they were already long gone
"That voice" the old man's voice was frail and cracking as he turned her head towards her a little "If i didn;t know any better I'd say that was sweet little Amelia"
A small smile crossed Amelia's lips at the man's recognition "Not so little anymore, Old man" she said, her voice full of fondness as she looked at him
"You sounds just the same" he said with a smile crossing his lips "Just as the day you left" his legs caved under him and she held him up. She contemplated what picking him up would reveal about her to the people around, though as she looked at this man she knew that she;d reveal herself to the whole town to help him if she had to

Sebastian glanced over towards the two when he heard what was going on. He raised a brow as he thanked the man and dropped a coin purse in his hand before moving over. "Amelia." He said in greeting. "You forgot to collect your pay." He stated, bowing to he older man as he spoke. He held out her pay to her with a genuine smile.

"Pay...." The old man smiled a little, Amelia now completely supporting his weight on her shoulder "little Amelia...still sailing are we? And here you used to hate the sea and ships"
Amelia lead him to sit "i went on the ships because of you" she said softly "you taught me not to let fear win. Remember your words? Look fear in eyes,grab it by the balls and squeeze till it's dust"
One of the men from their ship that was walking past flinched at that analogy
Amelia took the money from Sebastian and looked at him "Help me carry him somewhere would you?" she asked. She wasn;t sure where they could bring the man but she didn;t like that he was sitting there in the streets when he should be lying down

Sebastian bowed his head slightly in greeting to the man before looking towards Amelia. He gained permission from the older gentleman before he carefully lifted him up and followed after Amelia. It didn't surprise any to see him lift the man so easily, especially with him having just come in off of a ship. It was expected that he could lift an older man easier then what another could as he was used to lifting heavy bags of gunpowder and such, despite the fact that Sebastian was a vampire and easily able to lift almost twice his weight as a result.
Once they were safely situated and the man more comfortable, Sebastian looked towards Amelia. "Is there anything else I may be of service with?" He asked her. "If not...I have some business I should get finished before we are to set sail again."
