Entering stage left is everyone's favorite sky pirate -- or at least that is what Nicolai's ego told him. It was a "fact" that was anything but the truth as anyone who knew him and Victor were well aware he was not high on Victor's list favorite people. A fact the egotistical rogue commonly overlooked. How could he help his charms had won the heart of the fair Avatari? The beautiful first mate who had somehow not entered with him. How unusual. This wasn't the bar he had intended to raid. Shrugging, he figured a bar was a bar. As long as he could taste the bittersweet taste of his favorite vice, or second favorite if Ava was near, he could manage survival. Signaling the barmaid once he found his barstool of choice, Nicolai investigates his surroundings. He should be alarmed at his disposition, but a man who had been through what he had certainly could keep his head straight as he figured everything out.

Ah, his favorite shiny thing of the moment now was within the redhead's hands. At least it seemed to be in perfect condition.

"That would be it," he confirmed, "You may want to get that coat looked at. I am thinking it is possessed by a tapeworm."

A charming smile came to his face as if to show he felt no malice for the item in question that had gone missing. Even if he was a bit alarmed at her coming near him with that hungry coat of hers. It may decide he was a delicious morsel.

	She handed the item back to him even as she expressed her confusion. A tapeworm? She quickly hugged her coat closer. "Nothing wrong. S'my world." As if to prove it, she pulled out a globe of the planet Earth. "Finders keepers, everything goes." It made sense to her. She wasn't crazy, she was just Adara. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Shaking his head, he decided to shake off the "tapeworm" comment. It wasn't as if it was important anyway. Just one of his many offhand statements. "Something tells me that not everyone is going to agree with you," he reasoned with her. Most people would miss the things they "lost" with her near. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"S'ok. They ask, I return." No matter where she was it was always so hard for her to speak. Her halting way of speech could be annoying to others and it bothered her as well. She spun the globe once and then she slipped it back into her coat. "Nothing lost, only found. Every place, every thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He noticed the woman's discomfort and wondered if he should allow her to scamper off without continuing the conversation. She returned his item after all and that was all he was looking to get from her. "At least you return," he nods as if to approve of the action, "Thanks for not making me wrestle you for my compass back." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She was always uncomfortable when socializing, even when selling. Especially when they weren't from her circle. It was a necessary thing even if she always did want to skitter away to the shadows.

"Didn't mean to. Happens though. Found a knife once, he wanted it back. S'nice that one." He had called it stealing, but she didn't grasp the concept. Stealing was when you took it n purpose. She didn't do that. "I find, I keep, I sell. Found a truck once. Want to buy?"

	Buying into her selling game, he became thoughtful before he spoke anything else. "Hmm, do you have anything shiny that could impress my favorite lady pirate? I'm not certain a truck would be welcomed on board..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh good, it was always a good sign when she could get them interested in buying. She smiled and began to hum an old lullaby as she began to pull 'shiny' objects from her coat. There was plenty if jewelry of all kinds, a pair of bronzed baby shoes, a box of aluminum foil, a silver bumper off of a car, some tin cans, a silver monkey's paw, and even various types of silverware and weaponry. "Like anything?"

She'd have pulled out some of the bigger items, like the automobiles, the bumper cars, and such, but she didn't think they'd be appreciated in this building.
