Cheap Thrills

Modesty smiled as Sparrow approached, and then tipped her head in question when she spoke, looking to Gil and back to the Pirate king. She was, of course, herself. She didn’t belong to anyone… except well maybe her mother, but her mother wasn’t here. Sure she liked Gil, maybe even loved him. After all, he was her best friend, and had been for a long time now. “I’m not anyone’s.” She answered, and while the words were assertive, she smiled sweetly the whole time. “Gil is my best friend, and I would miss him too much if we weren’t in the same place. I have gifts, in the hopes you might allow me to join you…” But they were all still wrapped up and so Sparrow couldn’t make an accurate assessment of them!

Her jackalope removed a green bundle from within. “Umm, if you put some of this on the fire and breathe in the smoke it will help everyone relax,” next to come out was a small bundle of mushrooms, “Oh! These ones give visions...” A mixed bundle of dried herbs was next, “You make this one into a tea and it also gives visions, they can be a bit… scarier than the ones you get from the mushrooms though, so I’d have to measure that one out. There is more, but we could be here all day if I go through them all.” She looked to the leader with a smile. “I’m not much of a fighter, yet. But I’d be willing to learn! I promise I won’t be a burden if you let me stay.” Her tail waved hopefully. She supposed she had probably prattled on a bit, but she was young yet and eager to please.

“Speech.”
