"The paranoid one is Periwinkle if you want to give her a snack from the table. Barom won't mind. Any leftovers he has he'll use as bait for fishing anyway." She said letting her guard down when he seemed to understand spiders as well as she did and he didn't put her down for looking like a spider person. Ara yelped when the boat shook. The waves picking up a bit. The old fish man did say it would get rocky out there. "And I'm Aranella what sort of spider is she?" She asked trying to figure out one of many species that was out there and slipped her hood back on. It was probably useless at this point though as she got another small plate of fried eels and clicked her tongue asking Perry to come out from underneath the table and he objected at first before coming out and crawling up onto her shoulder. Watching Bascom and Draxx seeming distrustful of the pair.

Berum kept himself busy chewing out the aristocrat and gave him a choice either be thrown over board or go below deck if he was going to start fights on his ship. Aranella checked herself over knowing she would have to get to Periwinkle before he decided to bite someone as he skittered from side to side. Berum might not report Perry to be taken away but others on the ship might just feel motivated to. "Perry stop it." She snapped calling him over when she heard someone come up behind her asking if she needed help. "I wouldn't want you to get bi-" she looked over as Perry jumped on her shoulder hissing still. "Perrywinkle I said stop it his not going to hurt you I'm fone" she said and made a slight click and hiss noise actually seeming to have a conversation with him before he finally somewhat settled down but hopped back on the table to grab something else to eat and scampering off underneath the table. Arenella sighed. "Brat.... Arenella and you are?" She asked stifling a laugh as her lower eyes slightly look to the side amused as Berum dragged the guy who pushed her below deck.

Walking past the twins. Not paying mind to them pickpocketing it wasn't his business. As long as his riders wasn't doing anything stupid or break anything he didn't care about a few pickpockets. With the exception of them pickpocketing him. Mumbling don't get caught as he passed the girl

I think I will use my original starter

Hours pass from the early humid dusks of the Swamplands were her village began and ended near the lakes.

The whether, unlike the warmth of the mainland or the chill of the mountains the swamp was never never quiet perfect. It was either to hot or much to cold so the light fog and cool breeze was a welcoming embrace as Aranella sailed away from the toxic swampy waters and into the fresh open waters that led towards the mainland, in a rusty old steam boat with two piping hot tower like structures that spewed forth a gray fog that disappeared into the sky.

Filled with traveler's, merchants and a one eyed captain to steer the old clunker. It was small and crowded but it was the only ship that came at least once or twice a month into the swamps to take either merchants soldiers or anyone that wishes to visit the mainland. That is what Aranella was here for now. With Some Moss green deer glider pelts. Fish and dried meats and of course the fairy jars which she kept in the captain's quarters from being stolen. She was heading towards the major market sectors to try and make some coin.

She hated the tight crowds below deck and the stares she got from the upperclass above deck when the hood of her black cloak came down and the four eyes that revealed her heritage so. With the captains permission and the first to buy some dried fish eyes she got to spend the three hour long trip with him. He was scruffy and old with glassy black eyes and always wore the same gray sweater and leather wears with his pistol at hand every time she saw him. Yes he was a fish man and to some a scary old man with gray skin, a heavy brow and wrinkles with a scruffy beard to match with the thickest accent around.
To Aranella he was a friend. One of few actually kind to her. "Beruck?" She asked offering him a pouch of berries she had with her as she turned away from the window that over looked the main deck and he took a few with an old gloved hand. "Are we almost there yet." She asked and Beruck nodded. Chewing and swallowing. Getting the blackberries juice all over his lips as he spoke. "Aye miss but we'll be a tad late.....Waves ruffs ya see." He explains before clearing his throat coughing. With a sigh she slipped off her cloak and hung her head back out the window. Enjoying the spray of water in her face and the sight of the distant shore ahead.

Aranella breathed in deep. She felt a soft nuzzle against her side before Periwinkle climbed into her shoulder. His soft black pinchers clicking together and she laughed petting the top of his head and nuzzled her neck with a a sort of purring noise. "Okay okay little one let's get something to eat. I'll be back Berum." she said to the old sailor who grunted. "Don't let them bully ya lass" He said with a burp. "I'll be fine old man." She said a smirk and trotted down the few steps that led into the main deck to grab some food flipping her grandmother's dark blue Hood on to draw less attention to herself heading towards were they where serving food. Though that little with Periwinkle riding on her shoulder and crawling onto her head as she made her way onto the crowded deck and as much of an old clunker as this ship was. The food was the best part. She navigated her way through the tight crowds and periwinkle chattered nervously and she reached up to pet him. "Shhh take er easy up there bud have some fish eyes." She said pulling out some from one of her pouches and letting him eat from her palm.

Making her way to the buffet table already nearly empty she went over to some fried eels and took a couple on a small tin plate ignoring the many states she was already getting just from Periwinkle alone as he hopped onto the table to grab a piece of eel as well when some high class hot shot came by and sneered."must you let that thing eat on the table like that." He snapped and she sighed rolling her eyes. "His name is Periwinkle so don't get your thrilly Pantaloon in a knot." She snapped looking up to him and he growled. "I wouldn't expect a savage like you to understand manners" he said shoving her back and she yelped dropping her plate and periwinkle hissed skittering towards him as she hit the railings nearly flipping over board but catching herself at the last moment. Now hanging upside down. Her feet in front of her and her cloak flying behind her in the wind and sea foam spraying in her face as the blood rushed quickly to her face. "Perry no!" She yelled adjusting her grip on the rails to try and right herself back onto the board.

All the while the giant spider hissed at the rich wig who backed away from it. She than felt a thick hefty scaly hand grab her arm and flipped her back onto the deck. It was Berum. It was a sight to see him on deck. He didn't even greet the people coming into his ship. He always stayed up in the captain's quarters and steer the ship so to see him was a rare sight as he stormed over to the Patreon threatening to throw him over board to be fed to the fishes, not bothering to check it she was okay as she called periwinkle over. Still hissing away on the table. Now on the defense and snapping at anyone that tried to get near the angered spider.
