OCC- Darn it! Wish I knew more on how ship's worked.
Silver sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Only one. Follow my orders. And also, though Auggie may be young, she's still first mate and I want you to treat her with respect as if she were me, and follow what she says..... unless she tells yeh to do something stupid." Silver said knowing how Auggie can get sometimes.
Auggie walked into the galley to find a boy fox alien of 12 years. Auggie gasped. She hadn't seen one of her own kind in a long time. Ever since that day she sepperated from her home planet. Silver hadn't told her it was a FOX ALIEN!!! Her ears flicked forward and her eyes grew wide, watching him work. "Urm... Hello." She said timidly, hiding behind her tail. The boy dropped one dish. "Sorry," Auggie said staring at the boy in fasination. "I didn't mean to frieghten you."

"Cap'n," Amber said, "Don't matter how old she be. She's the first mate." The woman grinned and gave Silver a small salute before she asked, "So.. When're we launchin'?"
Tommy's ears shot up like rockets, and he dropped the plate he had been cleaning. He looked at the girl, and then to the mess he made. Kneeling down, he began to clean up his mess.

Silver sighed. "Well, I haven't told Auggie yet, but.... we're headin' to Mamilla, her home planet. To drop her off there. Long story." Silver said, he didn't want to get into detail with a person who he had just meet.
Auggie watched the boy intently as if hypotised. She had never thought she would lay her eyes on another Fox alien. She thought she was the last one left. But if her home planet was still alive, maybe.... "W-What's you're name kid?" Auggie asked in a shy voice, almost as scared as the boy was.

Amber nodded her head. "I see..." She ran her hand through her hair.
Tommy's ears pricked up as he heard her speak. He threw the broken glass in the trash bin, and resumed cleaning. It was a long time before he finally spoke. "....Tommy."

Silver sighed. "Ye might as well get to work on raisin' The Benbow, if ye find Auggie she'll tell yeh what ta do. But don't listen ta everyt'ing she says, she can be a bit.... hyper at times but she's alright." Silver sat down at his desk and apeared to be at work, that was her que to leave.
Auggie stared at the boy in a mixture of fear, intrest, and shock. She aproached him slowly as if a timid rabit would approach a human. She sat on the counter and figeted with her rusty red tail, as she always did when she was nervous. "My name's August." She replied, still amazed there were more fox aliens around then her. "Friends call me Auggie." She watched him clean, almost robotically, her eyes as wide as sausers watching his every move. "Ya- Ya don't need to clean that you know...." she said shyly, brushing her tail.

"Aye, Cap'n," Amber replied. She tipped her hat to him, and then left his cabin to find August and her little cabin boy.
His ears slowly lifted from their pinned position and swiveled at her voice. He paused, turned his head, and looked at her. Really looked at her. She was a red fox, but there was something different about her. His ears flicked as he finally said, "...It's my job." Then, quick as a whistle, his head whipped about and he resumed cleaning.
Since he had rolled up his jacket's sleeves to clean, one could see his arms. Dark red circles around his wrists revealed that he had once been shackled. His arms themselves were wrapped in bandages; some parts red, others dark brown. He didn't seem to notice if she was looking at them or not.

Auggie watched the boy intently. She noticed the red marks on his arms, but she didn't give them a second thought, she was still trying to remember the last time she had saw one of her own kind. When he looked at her, she was drawn to his eyes, she knew that look. She had it in her eyes a long time ago, old memerioes haunted the boy, from his past, he had marks to prove them. Auggie knew the boy's fear, she had lived with it for a long time. Auggie watched the boy clean, silent for awhile, not used to talking to another one of her own kind. "I just came down here to get some food." she said as she dug her left hand into a purp barrel. Her jacket was covering up her right bandanged arm so Tommy didn't see it. She held out a purp to him. "What about you, Tommy? You hungry?"

He swiftly shook his head. The food was drugged. He could sense it. Not saying a word, he finished cleaning the dishes, and stood up. The boy stretched, popping his back and neck. Looking at his work, he shook his head once more, and looked at her again.
She was weird.

Auggie saw the strange look Tommy was giving her. She hid her face behind her tail, a little shy. Knowing how odd she must be acting right now, unlike he wasn't doing the same. "I'm sorry, but..... It's just..... I haven't seen another fox alien before well..... my parents died." She said with a tone of remorse. She took a bite of the purp and looked away, not wanting to get into it. Then after a moments pause, she said, "What about you? You gotta family?"

The boy walked away from her, rag in hand, as he began to wipe down the filthy tables. Then, he said, "My mother died giving birth to me. Father blamed me and threw me in an orphanage... And that's when I was..." His teeth gritted, "Adopted."

Auggie stayed silent. "Oh." She said not quite knowing if it was a good thing, or a bad thing. "I barely remember my parents, they died when I was only three years old." she said brushing her tail nervously. "Pirates." She briefly explained. "After I had no were else to go, The Captain, Silver took me in and raised me as if I was his own daughter. I kinda know what it's like to be adopted. It's scarey."

"Not like my adoption.." Tommy whispered before he paused in his cleaning. He sighed and sat down, fingers running through his dirty blond hair, and amber eyes meeting hers.

Auggie stared at the boys eyes. She could sense the fear. "...What happened?" She asked at length, not realy knowing what to say.

And here his eyes lost their emotions, thoughts, and flickers. They became dark, like a void, and he turned his head away. He continued to clean.

Auggie stared at the boy's eyes aprehesively. She looked away, ahamed and took a bite of the purp she held in her left hand as he resumed cleaning. "Sorry." She mummbled, not looking at him directly. "Didn't mean to sound nosey. It's alright if yeh don't wanta talk about it, but if ya do, I'll listen." She said eating the purp. Auggie held onto the purp with her mouth, as she reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a rusty gold pocket watch, it looked old and worth alot of money, but August was the type of girl who appeared as if she had no money at all. Which seemed odd. Auggie looked at the time and spit out the purp in her mouth into the galley's stove. "BLAST IT!" She jumped off the counter and grabbed her purp from the floor and put it in her jacket pocket, along with her pocket watch. "Twenty minutes late...crew's gonna...the ship...Oh my ga- Silver's gonna murder me.." she muttered frantically as she shoved her stuff into her pockets. Then she clutched onto her right arm, as if in pain. She breathed heavilly. "Calm down.... Calm down, girl, no excitement..." She sighed, calm. She spared a passing glance at the boy as she hurried out of the galley fast she could. "Sorry ta leave yeh Tom, but I gotta raise this 'creaking tub' fast or Silv's gonna have a total hissy fit." Auggie nodded at the boy, and dashed out of the galley, bumping into the same canine she had seen eariler.
