Faelis was positive he wanted to leave Thanatos.
It wasn't that he didn't like the island, in fact, he quite enjoyed it, the lush rainforests, the variety of plants. There were a lot of people to steal from, and, for the most part, slavery was frowned upon. Despite making his living as a thief, Faelis despised slavery above most things.
Despite rather enjoying Thanatos, Faelis was leaving. Why? Well, there was one little problem, he was being chased by a group of murderous men, all bigger than the Faelis.
The elf had an uncanny knack for annoying the heck out of people, and adding in the fact that most of these people were already criminals, they wouldn't mind to do some killing to get a little revenge.
Faelis was now of to a ship headed to Adela, his pursuers not a day behind him. In this particular case, Faelis had insulted his red-faced pursuer while they were both drunk. Now the man and his friends were after Faelis to get even. it didn't help that Faelis had picked all of their pockets as he left the bar fight which he had started.
Not Faelis was walking up to the man who stood next to the ship's gangplank. He must have looked quite strange, wearing all black, his long black and gold hair adorned with beads and feather and other pieces of jewelry, as well as many piercings on his face.
"This ship heading for Adela?" Faelis asked, and the man eyed Faelis as the elf smiled at him.
"Aye, it is," he said, offering no more information.
"How much?" Faelis asked, and the man narrowed his eyes as he named a price. Faelis eyed the man's purse as he handed over the required amount,. The man's little bag was filled with coins, Faelis could see, and would have stolen it had he not been about to board a ship with the man.
When the man had finished counting the money Faelis had given him, he waved the elf thief up the gangplank, but Faelis waited for a moment, pointing to the mans satchel.
"I'd move that to a safer place if I were you, you wouldn't want a wily pickpocket to make away with it, would you now?" Faelis winked mischievously at the man before continuing up the gangplank and onto the deck of the ship.
There were many other on the ship, and Faelis made a mental not to find out how much money each of them had before he left.
After stowing his items below decks, Faelis came back onto the deck and looked at the sailors scurrying all over the ratlins and sails as they made way. Faelis himself had served aboard a ship, a pirate ship, and he had experience with sailing.
Faelis scanned the ship, looking over the passengers, assessing his situation, when his eyes fell upon a young man. For some strange reason, the man intrigued the elf. He was wearing all black, and did not look ordinary, but Faelis had seen many strange people, and some of the people on the ship now were rather strange, but all the same, Faelis walked towards the boy.
He walked up next to him and leaned against the rail.
"You have business in Adela?" he asked with a mischievous smile that did not invite trust.
