[IRP] Return to the Dread Isle

[Alusq]

"Do you make a hobby out of boarding ships with no idea where they're going?" Renata murmured incredulously at Raye's apparent admission of joining the crew without even knowing where they were headed. "For me, the payment is too good to pass up," she continued, deciding not to comment on Tiras's outburst. "As long as I've a sword, I'll earn my keep." But then something occurred to her: this was a good time to scout out prospective future allies, friends, or any sort of connection she could possibly make. With the amount of days the voyage took, and the additional time the mercenary crew would spend on the island and on the way back to Badon, it was an ideal time to test the waters— Mustn't think of water, Renata chided herself as her stomach turned— to see which of her allies would be best to get to know. "No use in starting an uprising if it doesn't fill your pockets, after all." If not an inflammatory remark, it was at least verbal kindling.
