Vane and Arslan reached the port, as both of them climbed into the deck of the ship, while carrying barrels of gunpowder and the guns what survived the previous attack
as they climbed they were welcomed by Ivy and Dane already arriving before them
Dane waved his hand, while Ivy was cleaning her daggers from a poor soul blood, with a piece of fabric.
Vane spoke first
"How long have you two been waiting for?"
Ivy shrugged her eyes landing on Arslan, before they returning to Vane
"Few minutes".
Arslan just winked towards her, but she gave him a glare, maybe she had a bad day
"That's our newest member, Arslan and the Parrot..Burq".
Ivy nodded her head, knowing better than to disagree with the vice captin decision
Vane and Arslan placed the Barrels and guns away
Ivy groaned before saying in an annoyed tone
"Where's madame cook? im hungry"
Vane looked at her
"You mean Juliet?"
Ivy scoffed and shook her head
"Who else can cook here?"
Arslan smiled before chiming in"
"If the cute girl is hungry, i can cook for her"
A loud crack was heard...
there it was, Ivy's dagger hit the wall behind Arslan, only centimeters away from taking his life
Even Vane seemed taken aback
Arslan laughed nervously
"You know i can handle a 'no' right? no need to kill me for trying to hit on yo-"
another knife was shot towards him, but he managed to dodge, this one was from Dane
"Okay, i get it! sorry!"
***
In the busy streets of the city Eve and Ray still got thier cloaks on, hiding thier presence, while Juliet walking next to them, she had discarded her cloak some time ago
after all there wasn't a bounty on her like the others
She got with them inside what seemed a clothes store, before she took a bandana, and a white shirt with buttons on its collar
"This would fit Vane so good"
Eve and Ray exchanged a knowing grin, sly and devilish
"Oh, right, im sure he'd also like a new dress on you"
Eve said clearly amused
"Eve is totally right, Juliet"
Juliet blushed knowing she got caught
"What gave that away?.."
Ray chuckled as he replied:
"You've been talking about Vane ever since we parted, lovebirds nowadays"
Juliet just looked away hiding her embarrassment
'Damnit'
Eve shrugged before continuing
"let's find something for you, also a gift for Vane from you...doesn't sound bad"
Juliet nodded before trying some dresses, before settling down with a cyan dress, that had yellow jasmine flowers, perfectly weaved on it's fabric.
Also the other two had changed from thier old clothes into more modren once
Eve changed her ragged shirt into one that fits her size, and a different long jacket this one black
while Ray changed into a dark version of a poet shirt and more comfortable pants.
***
as the three arrived back to the port, they found Ivy, Dane, Arslan and Vane just working over the artificial canons setting them on the deck
Eve was the first one to clear her throat getting thier attention
Vane placed the hammer down
"Welcome back"
Eve smiled as she pushed Juliet towards him, making her blushing immensely
"H..here a gift!"
She said in a hurried tone, clearly unable to contain eye contact.
Vane just took the new shirt she bought for him
"Oh..thanks Juliet i appreciate"
he said bluntly, obviously oblivious to her feelings.
Arslan smacked the back of Vane's head
'how could he be so blind! a drop dead gorgeous woman is in love with him!'
Vane looked at Arslan
"Bastard what was that for?!?"
Vane yelled at Arslan as he rubbed the back of his head
Eve raised a brow
"Mind addressing the new guy first, Vane?"
Vane had explained everything to her, ever since entering the hut
also Eve welcomed the new guy Arslan warmly
"You are welcomed, just don't mess with that moody woman, right there"
she pointed at Ivy wich made an annoyed face
Arslan chuckled clearly intimidated by Ivy
"I already learnt that the hard way"
Ivy walked to Juliet and gave her a silver medal
"For me?"
Juliet was taken aback, as Ivy nodded
"I'm..hungry".
of course, that's why she was kind towards Juliet
Juliet pouted
"No food, untill you promise to be nice to everyone else"
Ivy was taken aback, she grumbled:
"I promise to be nice"
Juliet smiled
"Then we're having Jambalaya!".
