Cedric only watched as the man came up to him and asked him if he wanted a ride, he was counting on it being that easy. He contemplated the idea for a moment, although it wasn't part of his mission it would be an easy way to hitch a ride and get paid. Cedric ran up to Azura "Excuse me but, I think I'll take you up on that offer" he said with a half smile.

"Ah, good." John said, setting the box down in the room Hector was sleeping in. He then turned back to Victor. He pulled out a box from the shelf and signaled for Victor to put all the guns inside.

Victor put the weapons in the box and then closed it up. "So why did you have her locked up?" Victor asked in a low voice, to not bother Hector's rest.

"I don't know her, and she tried to get into this room with a weapon. What did you expect?" John asked. "That I just bend over and let her in? No. I'm not stupid." He replied. "Besides, even if she was innocent, her attitude is a problem. She is a guest and an unwelcome one at that. I don't need her trying to order me and others around to get what she wants. We're here to get back to the king, not baby sit some foreign woman who came aboard behind our backs." John said under his breath before closing the box and putting the weapons away. "Come with me. We have more work to do."
Hector said nothing and rolled over, breathing deeply and looking peaceful as she slept, which was something rarely seen.
((Timeskip to docking at Ander's capital?))

((Sure.))
Victor followed John out. He wondered how Leigh got onto the ship. Once they docked he could question her. Right now, he had other duties to tend to.

Azura turned to face the lad that he had just spoken too. "Excellent. name is Azura. Welcome aboard." He tried to place a smile, but it came across as fake, so he just touch the lad's shoulder. It seemed odd to Azura that he was almost to equal height of man, and he was the younger one. At least it what he thought. As he led the man to the ship, he showed him to his corridors. It was then that Zephyr came to the Azura and was speaking nonsense about his sister. It was to the point that he almost said prince, before the Prince looked at the man, with a wicked look in his eye, and a cane pointed at Zephyr's juggular. "Now, Let's be civil. We don't want to have our new guess leave, before he gets to Ander. Do we? As for Leigh. We will be getting her back. Were only an hour behind the ship." Azura spoke in a way that showed orders, yet came across as respectful to the guy's wish. But the look showed that he missed the girl in his own twisted way.

Leigh finally got some water. she used it to wipe her eye's of the grease and too wash her hand. After all it took quite a while before the guard was even willing to move close to her. She was harmless right now. She took her jacket off, and laid down on the cot. Using the coat as a blanket. Leigh stared up at the wood panel above her. She hated that she was being treated like a prisoner. It wasn't her fault that she got caught up on the ship. If they weren't in such a rush, she could of got off. She shivered at the though of returning back to Prince's ship. She tried to sleep, but couldn't, so she began to sing a song. It was song she could remember since she was young, but no knowledge of who taught it to her, or the title. She sat in the cell, singing, as she clenched her knees to her chest. She didn't like being alone in small room. It for some reason made her feel unpleasant, and ill.

((Ok. ))
A while later, the ship docked at the capital of Ander. It was a large industrious city filled with prosperity. The place was filled with mechanics testing out new machines in the marketplace as well as war propaganda and soldiers everywhere. Towards the center of town was a large clock that seemed to govern the whole city as much as the king. As the ship docked in the private harbor for soldiers, several of the kings men were standing by, waiting for whoever was coming in. John existed the ship and went to talk to the men in charge. "Ah, Lord Hector's party. We weren't expecting you for another day or two. Then again, this is lord Hector we are talking about." One soldier jested. "Wait, was that the model we sent? I could have sworn you left on an older one."
"Yes... well there's a bit of trouble with a Hannon spy. He should be detained in prison by now near the border, but... Lord Hector seems to have taken the bulk of the impact. We traded ships at the border after our original ship had blown up. Hector is still recovering, but he still wishes to see his majesty." John explained
"O-of course. How many in the party? Two?"
"No. Three. We also have a stool-away from Gunther who Hector doesn't know about. Detain and question her."
"Yes sir." The soldiers said, then went into action.
John walked back up to the ship and went to get the luggage. "Do you mind carrying Hector for me?" He asked Victor as he walked back to the captain's quarters.

Cedric nodded his head at the person "Azura" he spoke under his breath "I am Cedric, it's a pleasure"
Cedric followed the man into the ship, it was very spectacular, he had only been in a few airships and this was by far the fanciest. Cedric overheard Azura talk about following another ship towards Ander, he went up to Azura "if you don't mind me asking Sir, who is the captain of the ship we're following?"
"So Cedric hasn't returned yet?"
"I'm afraid not"
"Then I should do what I should have done since the beginning" The old man stood up and walked to Shepard, he placed a hand on his shoulder before speaking.
"I now appoint this mission to you, my most trusted soldier"
"yes your highness" Shepard stood up and turned.
"Wait" the king spoke and stopped Shepard, the old man reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a envelope.
"If Cedric does happen to be alive, be sure he receives this"
"yes Sire"
With that Shepard stepped out of the kings chamber, he headed straight towards the port station where his ship was waiting.

Two guards walked over to Leigh's cell. "This looks like it." One guard said.
"I agree." The other replied. The two opened the door and walked over to Leigh. "Excuse me, but we are to escort you to temporary confinement to be questioned until further notice." One soldier said before they both grabbed her to lead her away.

Victor saluted John. "Understood" he said and then picked up Hector in his arms. He began following John out with his arms under the commander.

Leigh heard commotion, and soon the commotion was at her cell door. She stopped singing and stood up. She greeted the soldier with a curtsey, as they lead her away from the ship's cell, to her new confinement. She didn't speak a word to them, except when the question required a yes or a no. She looked down at the ground while they walk. Mostly she looked at the shackles they place on her wrist. They were made of Iron, and seemed to have a rather unique locking mechanism. She studied it as they lead her somewhere. You think she be looking at the city, since she was a mechanic. Yet, all she could think about. Was that fact, that that lock was unique, and that John did not recognize her. Did she not make an impact on him, when she caused trouble for his guards, as she did for the Gunther guard. Was she really so insignificant that no one would remember her. Kinda of like no one remembered her for weapon, but then again she just labeled them as Vashyron weapons. So her brother's usually got the credit for it.

John put Hector's jacket over her as he grabbed her sword and a bag he packed previously. He then led Victor out of the ship to a luxurious carriage without a horse to drive it. "I don't know if you've seen this, but it's a rather new contraption called an automobile." John said. "Anyway, come in. We'll close the curtain's once as we're settled."
Hector was still asleep despite all the ruckus. She snuggled against Victor's chest, subconsciously thinking it was John, and hardly moved.

"Alright." The questioner said once as Leigh was settled. "I want to be frank here. If your good and give us the information we want, we will lighten your sentence. First things first. What is your name?" The man started. "And why were you aboard Lord Hector's ship?"

"I've seen the aristocracy back in Gunter driving them around sometimes. I hear they're becoming popular and there's talk of building commercial vehicles as well" Victor commented while placing Hector in the vehicle and then getting in himself. When the commander had snuggled against him, the former lieutenant felt uneasy.
