[The Bloody Bay Fleet]

Kelsey grinned slightly in the compliments, and cocked an eyebrow as she sipped her glass of liquor. "Well, if it is I and my blades you desire, then I shall be happy to oblige." She leaned back as she listened to Aynia's remarks. "Aye, we have been spread very thin, or, more accurately, we are committing ourselves whole-heartedly to the southern portal by the coast." Her eyes  gained a hint of anger as her lip curled, "you are also right that there have been some that are taking advantage of this. Without our usual... attention to sea routes, it appears that we have some aspirants wishing to claim our title." Kelsey spits, "and Laxtavita wishes us dead more than ever." Liquor plied her tongue, made her speech much freer about those she despised. "I think that since we have become recognized, that paltry polis of Avanroa sees us as more of a threat."

Her eyes widened when she heard the terms, recognizing the opportunity that this became for the Fleet. "I can certainly agree to this opportunity, my queen!" She grinned widely, eagerly, hungrily. "I am sure that your enemies will fear to sail the seas. I think we have some ships in reserve, at least two more Seafangs and ten more Songbirds, not nearly enough. But until the Silver Paw has the Southern Portal, it will have to be done." She looked at the queen now, appraisingly, "and you would place no constraints on us? Give us free reign of the seas as long as we do not harm the loyal citizens of the Crown?"
