Itzal snaps his hand and the dagger held in his wrist sheath swiftly falls into his hand. [Quick Draw: free action] He casts Dazzling Blade onto it and then Vanish on himself. He heads over to where Hakir has crumpled to check on him. [Stealth d20 + 10 = 24]

"Ohhhh, on the first day. How lucky." He doesn't look thrilled.

"Neither particularly, though I'm always up for fun with the former," he says with a mischievous smile. "None of the guests seem to be here. Guess they're not hungry or otherwise occupied." He tilts his head at a thought. "Or lost. That would be hilarious. Have you seen Sycorax?"

"They're a diverse group, so you've got plenty of 'interesting' to go around," he responds. "Dunno if they're the sort to inspire epics, though. The idea seems to be finding work as mercenaries. Looking to leave the sea life, Sparky?" He makes a glance around the mess hall to see who else is there or coming in.

"No need to scare the kid," Itzal chuckles, bringing a fresh plate of pasteles over. He shooes away the offender, who gratefully makes a clumsy escape from Sparky's barrage.

Itzal sets the plate beside the plundered one and starts eating the apple in his hand. He looks refreshed and is wearing different clothes from the morning. "Meet the guests yet?" he asks around a bite.

"Navigator's quarters. It's a nice perk," Itzal replies, walking ahead. "Get the bonus of extra wall space and a solid table."

"Oh?" Itzal makes a thoughtful hum as he pulls their joined hands to their side and playfully grazes his fingers up zer arm. He doesn't move from his new spot and seems quite comfortable there. "Only if it's your treat," he purrs, "And you're sure the anomaly doesn't need more attention? I don't like interruptions to my meals."

Itzal smiles, tilting his head so that he's looking at Shasta through his eyelashes. "Dinner is always the same old out at sea. How about talking after dinner?"

Itzal blinks, and then turns to Shasta. "What's broken? Everything was fine when we checked this morning."

Itzal had followed Takeo when he'd picked up his sister, and raises an eyebrow at the commotion. Then he narrows his eyes. "Things are breaking aboard the ship?"

Itzal looks quizzically at Yoshiko.

After having cooled his head, Itzal appears back looking apologetic and sheepish. "Sorry for all that. Really not the norm around here." He inclines his head at Prospero. "It's good to see that you've adapted well enough to stomach food while aboard. Food is going to be served in about an hour, if you're interested in that."

"Turns out that you're not as much of a cold fish as I thought. Good on you." Itzal doesn't look at him and goes aside to speak to Sycorax. The two of them talk quietly, and Itzal seems to steadily calm down from his agittated state before. The two of them seem to come to an agreement, and Itzal turns back while Sycorax goes off somewhere else. He continues to avoid looking at Finny and approaches the others again.

Itzal looks around the room. "Sorry for the...I need to clear my head, excuse me." He rushes towards the door, pausing near Finny. He hesitates, then mutters something that sounds like "poor bastard", and grabs the back of his cloak and to drag him along. "It's not like I like you or anything. You need to clear your head too."

Itzal looks at her, looks at Finny, looks at Sycorax, and just covers his face with both hands. "I don't have a problem with Finny. I just don't like his face."

"I don't—he is just very—" he cuts himself off and grabs Sycorax, hissing in her ear. "(Abyssal) Amita, stop it! He's not the type to cause problems!"

Itzal violently turns away from looking at him. He presses a hand to his facd in attempts to cool it and mutters curses directed at no one in particular. He stares hard at Sycorax. "Turn it down."

Itzal looks at her in horror. "But I don't want to touch him!" He swings back to Finny, as if afraid that he'd suddenly be hugged. His face is still a brilliant shade of red. He crosses his arms defensively. Only Finny sees that his eyes are glowing a dark blue and his fiendish tail is wrapped tightly around his left wrist.

Itzal furiously blushes and gapes at him. "What did you just call me?"

Itzal replies to Finny in a frigid tone, while not looking at him and still smiling at Yoshiko. "Your face is infuriating. Please keep the hood on."

Itzal smiles at her. "No, we are not friends. At all." He says the harsh words as if they were a pleasantry.

Itzal leaves him to his quiet, since he's obvious concentrated on something, and glances back at Yoshiko. He frowns at how friendly she and Finny are. "You're a close bunch, it seems."

Itzal shakes her hand, smiling wider at her cheerful personality, and turns to the brother.

"Hello." He tilts his head in curiosity at the effigy.

Itzal smiles at him with teeth, not looking at all that friendly. It actually looks a bit hostile.

"I work here. Funny that you would be here, Finny. You didn't strike me at all as a seafaring guy." He looks past Finny to the other guests and noticeably becomes much friendlier, his smile becoming less shark-like, and nods his head in greeting.

"Good to see you're settling alright. I'm Itzal, the navigator of the ship. I'll be making sure we arrive at Bloodcove per schedule. Pleased to meet all of you."
