After alerting Siha as directed; Skittles swooped out the kitchen door and landed lightly on Youkio's shoulder. "We're good boss, they started their meetin..." He cawed quietly in order to avoid being overhead from the rest of the kitchen.
Youkio gave a short nod in reply. "Good, head back out an give the signal if shit heads south." Waving the parrot off his shoulder as it flew back into the kitchen to hide amongst the rafters.
Once his bird was gone; Youkio returned to bouncing from one foot to the other, tail swaying with his movements. His worry only increasing as Tempest had now made her presence known. He felt she was taking a damn risky move but she wouldn't hear any of his arguing on the matter. Though normally he found her stubbornness an likeable trait; it was a rather large thorn in his side on this instance. He grumbled under his breath about her not just letting him be the go between and the absurdity of it all, but still remained at his post for the time being.
Cliodhna inclined her head towards the small pirate, dark lips curved into a soft smirk. Her elbow propped on the table, fingers idly curling a lock of her blond hair "You'll have to excuse my companions. Though they aren't strangers to fighting; necessary steps concerning the "underbelly of society" tends to leave a poor taste in their mouths." Offering the Captain a hint of a giggle with her apology.
Inwardly she was cringing slightly. This was going to be a matter handled delicately; threats and hard truths about their position could only encourage him to sew his mouth shut on the matter, despite the rather hefty bag of gil Cliodhna was willing to toss in his direction. After all; they lived the life with threats and backstabbing being the norm, what's a few more amongst hundreds?
"Regardless, our attempts to bring you out for a chat have been a success and I'd like to get us off on the proper foot; I go by the name Tempest, my fairer friend is called Moon Lily and the one you've been so charmingly calling "flame kitten" is Kihm as she stated," Cliodhna paused a moment. "Her earlier stumbling was merely due to being a bit uncomfortable in her uniform and role she had to play, as it were." Placing her palms together in front of her lips with splayed fingers, she regarded him once more with a hint of brightness to her eyes. "And since we didn't exactly catch your name at our last encounter what do you go by?"
Keeping rapt attention at his displayed movements she noticed as he talked; there was a slightly lingering glance in the direction of the Elezan. Without braking her gaze away from the table; Cliodhna gracefully folded her hands in front of her face and bit her bottom lip. By this point, Youkio's bird should be in position and catch her slight tell that meant to stay sharp.
"I thank you for the praises, you seem to be someone well versed in the spirit of theater and I shall regard your opinion highly." Dropping her hands, she once more folded them simply on the table as she leaned forwards a little towards the Captain. "Some would say a damned fool would reject such an offer, to be quite honest." Murmuring with another teasing quirk of her lips.
Giving the Dunesfolk another welcoming smile, she nodded. "It has been my knowledge that drink in the company of friends has been known to loosen lips some, however as you've already cleverly stated at an earlier point when talking to Kihm; neither group at this table is completely alone. We're also both widely aware that both Moon Lily and one of your own were in the kitchen....I don't want to talk bad about new acquaintances but we are in a bit of danger here and it's so easy for something unwanted to slip into a drink or sprinkle by mistake onto a plate of treats." Though her tone was light; Cliodhna let the implication from her words hang in the air. Despite them having no plans to poison anyone involved from the bridge; that could not be said of the pirate and his gang doing so in proper anticipation of a attack.
"So in light of that as I'll assume no one at this table wants to be met with a food related...accident," the words ending in another soft giggle. "What's say we just have a nice chat and maybe celebrate later when this is all over and all are left in one piece?"
Youkio gave a short nod in reply. "Good, head back out an give the signal if shit heads south." Waving the parrot off his shoulder as it flew back into the kitchen to hide amongst the rafters.
