"Oh, don't worry about that. The captain wanted you to take a break to help me." She lied. "Now hold these." She said, putting all of the tools in his arms. "Now lets see... yes... yes..." She muttered taking a few more tools. She also put these in his arms. "Now please follow me." She said sweetly as she lead him out towards the deck.

"Yes, that is the plan. Hopefully nothing will disrupt it" Victor said. He then noticed John staring and him and gave him a piercing glare. "You just going to stare at me or are you actually going to do something useful?" he asked with a sharp tongue.

"Oh don't worry about him. He's there to make sure no one tries to kill me while I'm busy." She replied, wafting her arm. "In Ander, many of the soldiers can't handle the expectations and strictness imposed by the commanders. Sometimes the commanders themselves are poor and take out their frustration on their subordinates. Either way, it has caused a lot of small revolts on airships like these, and now people like him are stationed to prevent such incidents. This one just so happened to be my butler before becoming my right hand." She said tersely.

"I see" Victor said. He didn't feel he needed to offer any apology. He stared out a window to make sure there weren't any rogue ships coming in their direction.

"Huh? Hey, what is the ship doing?" Hector suddenly yelled in alarm as the large imperial ship began wafting back and forth uncontrollably. She pushed a button, which sent a signal for all of her men to immediately stop what they were doing and hold on. She moved the ship out of the way with a difficult maneuver, which barely dodged the ship in front of her as it swung past her front."

"But this is so heavy. My arms would break. If you wanted help carrying these, I could build you a trolley or a wheelbarrow but please don't make me carry them" Danny frowned, not suited for physical labors as his arms already felt like giving in.

"And make a pretty girl like me carry them?" She asked. "Fine fine. You better start building up some arm strength though." She said, taking over half the tools and carrying them with ease. "Now follow me, pup."

"What is going on here?" Victor demanded. He stormed outside where he was blasted with a sudden strong gust of wind. It nearly blew his military hat off. He cursed. "This isn't good" he said.

"Y-You idiot!" She yelled. "John! Get him back inside before he falls over and dies, but don't you dare get yourself killed!"
"Of course!" John yelled, rushing outside and also getting blasted by the winds. Quickly, he grabbed Victor and helped him inside as he fought against the turbulents and forced the door closed. "Are you suicidal? What were you thinking?!" He demanded.

"Well, I'm pretty sure mommy does some heavy lifting while dad is away working", he said, not making much sense as he remembered his childhood toils and remembering only 'mothers' when she said 'pretty girl'. There was nothing in his mind that clicked he should be attracted to pretty girls except if they reminded him of his mother. He followed Ruby around though, still not paying attention to the fact that the other pirates seemed... Well... Gone.

Ruby lead him out on the deck where the pirates were still drunk and having a good time. "Hey, can I have this kid here?" Ruby asked.
"Well of course darling." They whistled and rolling over themselves drunk.
"In that case, now your mine. Come along now, she said, escorting him onto her ship. 'Hmm... the pup seems to know quite a bit about machinery. I wonder if I could sell him to some peddler in Ander or Norra. He'd fetch a pretty good price.' She thought devilishly.

Danny smiled again and followed Ruby out of courtesy. It seems he was being captured by another air pirate... Again. He wondered what she needed done and if her steam engine parts were new and sparkling. He looked around and looked at the parts in his hand. He could definitely develop that new sunflower-based rotating gun that could be mounted on the ship. He just hoped she let him make it. "Hey, miss. May I please have some parts and scraps? There's something I would like to build" he said gently.

"Sure. Go ahead and make yourself useful. Just stay out of my treasure room." She said, closing the door behind herself before taking off.

"Alright then." Danny sat down on the wooden floorboards, bringing out a blueprint of that gun he wanted to make. With speed, he began finding each part he needed or improvised to do so. "Six bolts... Six bolts", he muttered to himself, looking for those parts to hold together the spinning parts of his little gun prototype. When he found those, he practically began fixing everything together, taking a break to stare at the blue sky every now and then. Sometimes, he would see animal-shaped clouds just ahead or a little above them, and that inspired him to work. The entire time Ruby left him undisturbed, he worked on it. "Barrels. Barrels...", he couldn't find many so he had to shape scrap pieces into what he needed, sometimes carelessly going to the engine room and using the fire from there to get enough heat to hammer the brass and iron pieces into the shape of barrels. He learned a lot of things about new age guns from the Gunther military academy but he seldom used such knowledge except when it was necessary. Well, there was something he wanted to make so he bared with it.

Victor said nothing. He couldn't believe he did something so stupid. Perhaps it was the concern of his crew back on the other ship that made him do it.
