"Where did she go?" Jack was rudely asked as a sword point poked at his throat.
"How should I know? Should I know?" Jack looked over to his left and arched an eyebrow before returning his gaze to the guard. "And why are you concerning yourself over levrage when the one you should be worried about escaping is right in front of you? What sense is there to looking for the corner piece of the puzzle when you have all the rest, eh?"
"Lord Neirington wishes for her to be under guard, and we are her guard," Jack rolled his eyes and leaned back in his prison.
"It makes me curious, how you all have not heard of me before, tell me why," Jack said, capturing the guard's attention.

So cold... All the same, all about me. The wit, the wisdom. Here I stand, Here I live... The truth of a revelation, frozen in fear. Slowly dying...
Tessa turned her head after hearing the conversation behind her, and quickly darted behind the wall to keep herself out of sight. After several moments she moved along, slowly to ensure silence. With as little as she knew of a ship's general design, she had to assume her destination and goal were above her, but she froze in place by the next doorway, giving herself a moment to think.
At the opposite end of the preceding room, a small sphere of ice formed of the moisture in the air and dropped to shatter faintly on the floor below. Tessa remained hidden to the best of her ability, the flow of magic over her figure doing little to help her seclusive state.

After the guard loosing interest, Jack let out a shout before falling back into his cell, a rather content look on his face. He closed his eyes and hummed, but ceased again once he heard keys jingling. Lifting his head, he was rather surprised at seeing Scarlett, keys in hand, cursing whenever one didn't work. Finally, she found the right one and swung the door open.
"Hurry hurry, there isn't much time, they've raised the alarm," She hissed and Jack hesitantly moved towards the exit, before being pulled along.
"Hold up," He said before thrusting a pistol and his cutlass through his belt and hurrying along, ducking behind the staircase with Scarlett.
"What are you doing?" He asked, only to have Scarlett's hand clamped over his mouth, a warning glare in her eyes.

Tessa pushed on, pausing every so often only to ensure she was not being followed. After making her way up a flight of stairs she paused again, focusing on the heat of the room ahead of her and quickly forcing it to lower. She wondered for a moment why no one had even been around to find her however - by now she suspected news would have spread faster than her slow movements.
"Only time and patience," she said under her breath.

"Oi! Hold up there you," A guard said to Tessa as he did a double take to where she was. "You are that girl that escaped from the brig! Now you'll be needing to come with me, Lord Neirington would like to have a word with you," He began to advance towards the girl, unsheathing his sword in the process. The boards beneath his feet creaked as he came, betraying a very heavy footed nature.

Tessa narrowed her eyes slightly and moved her hand to her own blade, though she did not draw her weapon. She took a half-step back and remained still.
"I will not be taken, nor will I be disarmed," she said calmly, "but I do believe he and I have a mutual goal then, as I am quite eager to speak with him myself."
The misty shroud about her faded away, her breathing perfectly controlled.
"I don't want any blood on my hands, just lead me to him and let me be."

"Very well Miss, but I will need to take you in myself," The guard, Fredrick, said, grabbing Tessa's shoulder lightly and beginning to lead her towards the upper deck. Every time they passed a guard, his grip would flinch annoyingly, tightening on Tessa's shoulder. It was rather obvious it wasn't his dominant hand, and he kept his sword unsheathed.
"Here we are," Fredrick said with a smile, pointing to the door to Henry's quarters directly in front of them. "Good day miss," However, the guard merely removed his hand from Tessa's shoulder and did not physically move away.

"Good - ?" Tessa pulled herself away tensely, "How is any of this 'good'?"
She shook her head and stepped through the doorway, shifting to the side and letting it close at its own pace. Her eyes stared malevolently forward, her breath heavy but slow, forced calm.

"Ah, Miss Orinae. You have finally arrived. I was beginning to worry that you had lost your way," Henry said from where he stood, looking out the rear windows. He turned to her with a taunt smile, and let an arm sweep towards the table. "Please, sit." He said, before taking an apple from a basket on the charter desk and rolling it down to the place that Tessa was to sit; the chair nearest to her. Henry himself remained standing, inspecting another apple, this one green opposed to the offered red one, in the light of the midday sun.

Tessa's eyes widened and she bit her lip as she tilted her head back slightly in shock.
"How do you know me?" She said forcefully, "And moreover what do you want with me, since you seem to have been... waiting..."
She paused as she noticed her heart stopped momentarily, the magic flowing over her hair once again. Her mind reeled with the possibilities, each one flashing through her thoughts as the anticipated result found her face growing in fear.
"I do believe I will be quite fine here though..." she said at last.

"A mutual friend of ours may have let slip the name," Henry said, taking a bite of his apple. "I do believe that you may be of use to the Company in some way or another. So tell me, what is it that you know about late Lord Nessin?" He asked, a shadow of a smile on his face as he took a seat, movements stiff with a controlled grace. "I am sure the tale will be quite intriguing to you," A quiet chuckle passed through his lips before he took another bite of his apple.

"I know nothing of him," Tessa said calmly, "nor do I have much of an interest in whatever alleged 'use' you have of me. What do you have that I couldn't find my way out of?"
She smiled, shifting her weight back slightly and calming herself substantially. The heat of the room died down quickly as her eyes glistened oddly to compliment her smile.
"Do you think I tried, earlier? Do you perhaps not comprehend why I am reputably the Wisdom of the Slaughter?"

"Oh? You would be so willing to leave a certain Jack Cortez to my mercy?" Henry asked. looking up, his eyes lidded slightly. "And I am not sure I am in the mood to be merciful ," He said simply, unsheathing a dagger and letting it spin slowly on his finger, guided by the other hand. A drop of scarlet blood beaded around the blade and he stopped, laying the knife on the table. He clasped his hands on the table and leaned forwards slightly. "Take a seat, and perhaps I can enlighten a few things in your eyes,"

Tessa flinched at the notion of Jack being left to his mercy, but stepped forward and tentatively took a seat.
"Speak then," she said calmly, "but Jack has done enough already, damn it. Leave him out of this."
She closed her eyes, controlling her breathing to a deathly slow rate. Her hands clenched at her sides as she leaned into the back of the chair.
"What is it you are so intent on telling me, then?"

"Lord Nessin, was one of the greatest contributors to the Company. He was also the most powerful. It was said that he had aid from a Dematsai shifter, Tia Anjez, for his own. She hated him, hated him for taking her away from all she loved, the sea, and an unnamed pirate captain. But, in her captivity, she found her heart drawn to another. James Fieronin, commodore in the navy of the king. Wounded into mortality, she was brought to the gallows because of her refusal to serve the crown. Escaping narrowly, she disappeared, ne'er to be heard from again, until recently. I was rather hoping to find her aboard the Duchess, but...anyway, the more important detail to this story. James Fieronin also disappeared the same night as Tia Anjez, and is to be believed that he is the father of our beloved Jack," Henry looked up from the knife and at Tessa. "Now, there is more to the story of Tia Anjez isn't there?" He asked. "Something that made her more than a shifter, allowed her to retain her youth and beauty throughout her thirteen years of imprisonment. Why her love interest stayed strong despite of age. I know that you have met her. I know that you know more about her. Tell me."
