"All due respect, Sir, but why don't we keep even the outline from them? No sense in letting them think our attention away from them, or giving them reason to think we're off guard and susceptable to possible 'threats'." He put enough emphasis in the reasoning to try to point out because of the 'threat' he'd spoken of before, without actually mentioning it in front of Naburine. He didn't know how far the Commodore trusted the girl, but Bors didn't. Least of all he didn't want her to talk to the prisoners if that fool Pirate girl hadn't moved out yet.

Antony clenched his fists and took a calming breath. After a few moments her turned toward Bors with an icy expression. "It is my duty to let them know, sailor." He glanced at Naburine and decided to but the rumor to test. "Now, I've no doubt that the rest of the crew is curious as to what is going on. I elect you to go inform them. Maybe the prospect of another fight will calm them and reduce the ominous cloud of mutiney that seems to be hanging over us."

Naburine's eyes had narrowed when Bors got near, but she kept her mouth shut until he and the commodore were finished. "Mutiny? Who said anything about that? I haven't heard anything from the crew..." Naburine shrugged and saluted her senior. "I will go check on the prisoners and inform them about what is going on, sir, and then I will address the crew." With that, she walked to the hold's door, not even looking at Bors.

Sitting here was terrible.. If she left, she'd be accused for sure.. if she stayed, he might return, or they might accuse her anyway. Fiona stood up, pacing in the cell by now. "What?" she asked Amy after a while, uncomfortable with the looks she was recieving.

"Nothing really." Amy replied as she continued to look at Fiona. "You just seem worried and uncomfortable that's all. Is there somethng you wanted to get off your chest?" She looked at her pontedly again. "I find that when I'm backed into a corner it usually helps to talk about it. Or enlist in the aide of others."

Naburine sumbled on something soft in the darkness. Bloody guards... did they ever light the lanterns? Finding the one hanging on the wall, she lit the oil within with a match and looked down. She nearly lost her supper at the sight below her. Bloody guards was right. Two guards were dead at her feet, laying in pools of their own blood. "Commodore!" She yelled at the top of her lungs in her most authorative voice, beckoning to her senior rank who was still on deck. She then lifted the lantern and beheld the open door to the cell. That Fiona hag was standing there, confronting the terribly-clothed woman about something. Doing a quick count, Naburine noticed, with some confusion, that all of the female prisoners were still in the cell. "Oi! What the bloody heck is going on? I expect answers now!" Usually she would pull out a dagger and threaten people, but something held her back. This situation did not make sense at all, and she wanted some sort of answer before doing anything rash.

Amy looked over to Naburine casually. "Well, our guards are dead and our cell seemed to have been mysteriously unlocked through the use of force." She said it all in a bored tone. "You should probably fix one of them. we might escape if you dont."
Antony heard Naburine call and glared at Bors before he made his way down to the prison cells. He stiffened when he saw the scene. "What in the nine...Naburine what has gone on here?"

Naburine glared at the cheeky woman and then turned to her senior. "I cannot be sure, sir. All I know is that these guards were killed by knife point. The thing is, how on earth did the cell door open. And, if any of them did do this, why aren't they gone?"

(( Sorry, but.. Before, fiona had taken the knife and hidden it on her person, so it's not in the wall anymore.. just a bloody crack where it was.))
((Fixed it. Sorry. ~Dark))
Fiona turned as Commodoore whatshisface and that woman walked in. "Lot of good your guards did. We could have had all our throats slit an' none'd be the wiser til morning. Hope you got more competant people than that watchin' your cabin," Fiona remarked with truthful agitation in her voice. She didn't like this one bit, but perhaps playing with fire was the only way to avoid being burned.

Bors silently hissed behind his teeth as the pair offed into the dark, obviously intent on doing the exact opposite of what he wanted. He knew he should've dealt with that Naburine woman before anything else, but it was all too late to start something now. His only hope now was the crew. The thoughts of mutiny he'd instilled in their heads was now genuine, and none would rightly remember where they had started. He only hoped that that truth he'd revealed to commodore gave him more sway than that bloody stubborn pirate. He twirled a knife absently in one hand, as he did often when he was forced to wait.

Antony's eyes narrowed as he took it all in. "Yes," he mumbled to himself. "Why didn't they leave if they were the ones who did it?" This was getting very frustrating. he was being bombarded from all sides it seemed. He did not know what to believe anymore. "There is definately foul play going on here. Now the question is, who is it comming from?"

Naburine turned to the pirate woman. "You... Fiona, aye? Since you seem so fond of cheek talk, would you mind terribly giving us your side of what I am sure is a very interesting story?"

Rats.. reverse psychology fails again. What a stupid concept that was. "I didn't kill nobody if that's wot yer after. I woke up 'n' already found'm dead," she said truthfully, though it was in fact their dying noises that woke her in the first place.

Naburine studied the woman as she spoke with an extremely critical eye. After a brief pause, she looked at the commodore. "Though it is a tale that usually would be considered a lie, she seems honest enough. This makes no sense to me..." She turned back to Fiona. "Alirght, so did anyone else in your cell do it?" She doubted it, because she knew she had taken all of thier weapons, and the captain was the only one that Naburine saw as competant enough to kill the guards.

"Well I did not do it." Amy replied firmly. "So dont even think about it. But, you're an elf. How could you have not heard something?" The blonde girl tried to wheedle something out of Fiona. She wanted to know who did it as well.
