Kiht wasn't a good actor. Deception was never her strength. She felt she had accomplished what she wanted though. The Captain Distractin's pride made him reveal that he did indeed have his crew there, and that he knew about at least one other put in place by The Red Wings. Kiht resisted the urge to smirk at this.
She may have been out of her element with the scene, but the situation breaking into a possible fight did not scare her, for that would be her very element. That fact made it so her confidence did not waver. Her body returned to an upright position as the Captain began to respond to the contents of the letter. Contents Kiht did not read before Clio sealed it, and put it in the coat. Hopefully Clio was listening carefully. What the Captain knew, and what he revealed was important.
Kiht's ears twitched at being called a 'Flame Kitten' again. She would show him a Flame Kitten! Her gaze averted for a moment as she made a quick glance to another part of the tavern. She then looked back to the Captain with an unwavering neutral expression. Kiht was perfectly calm now, and it showed.
"I was not made privy to the contents of the letter, or what you did wrong. You see, the higher-ranking officers want to keep most of us ignorant. My orders were to deliver the letter then collect the amount of gil you were payed for a job you swived up on." She said in a professional, but stern, tone.
Tempest hadn't really given Kiht more information than that, so she felt her answer was the only one she could give. Kiht leaned back in her chair then moved her hands to her lap. She let out a bored sigh which was intentional. She wasn't truly letting her guard down. The captain's little switchblade was adorable compared to her mythril hunting knife she had in her coat, but she would not underestimate pirates.
"You sound unconcerned about your enemies Captain, but would it not be better to have a couple less, and still be standing in a position of power?" She paused for a moment and inclined her head slightly. "I am sure you and your crew are capable, but how many foes can you handle really? You should pay your dues, Captain."
