Inez saw the way sparks flew as the goblin(??? she wasn't quite sure) clapped her hands. Oblivious to the fact that explosives were an actual thing, and not a myth, she blinked cluelessly. "Um, okay. Anyway…" She turned back to the shelves, then turned back around quickly. If Sirens were real, then surely explosives were, too, right? Was that possible? "Are you gonna blow up the-" The goblin (definitely a goblin) looked confused. Inez realized that it was unlikely the new face could speak the same language, if at all. She had a similar experience when she was younger, and vividly remembered using some kind of strange sign language for words she didn't know. One specifically, what was it? Music? Right. She would symbol for what could either be a harp or guitar-like thing, she had no idea even now. Her lack of words never got in her way, but she ended up learning how to speak (enough) like a normal person by listening to others. Inez realized she was talking more in the past two weeks than she had in her entire life, possibly.
Inez pointed at the goblin. "You…" She signaled for a ship, floating, then drew her hands apart, making a comical explosion sound with her mouth. She wondered if she should be concerned about this, since it was possible Captain Silver-Tongue didn't know the little one was on the ship. But, again, were those explosion things real? It struck her that it was possible the goblin was also confused about their actuality. If they were, maybe she could distract her? "Anyway, uh…" She pointed to herself. "Inez." Then the goblin, waiting for a response.

Pyria nods, giving the lady a pointed smile.

"Boom. Ship go boom. I get shinies to meself."

She claps again, and more sparks are produced.

Kavo scuttled across the deck, and scrambled up the ladders and steps to the poop deck. He cracked his knuckles, unfastened the wheel, unlocked the levers, and lifted the anchor. The Deceit began drifting. Kavo adjusted the weights, tilting the ship into the wind, and cranked the wheel all the way around. Now, whenever the crew was done retrieving the Siren bits, they could just open the sails and the big ship would immediately turn all the way around as the wind caught them. From where they were now, it would be 2 days at nearly top speed.
He allowed himself a thought as he waited, making tiny adjustments to crank the most efficiency out of the ship. Inez had been gone a while, and he wanted to go let her know he'd sent her on a goose chase, if she was even still looking. His chest would be fine, he wasn't worried, but she had definitely looked upset by the goings on. Kavo wasn't of the opinion that all gentleness was weakness, and he didn't fault her for holding onto hers.
He watched as the crew dropped baskets usually reserved for fishing into the water, and hauled them back up on pulleys, full of siren body parts. He was seeing mostly fins and claws, occasionally whole baskets would come up full of arms, heads, or legs, and none of them looked fresh.
Kavo's eyes widened as he realized that was all his handiwork.
He hadn't quite realized how furious he was that they would drag his brother into this, but. Clearly, the Siren's song had touched a nerve.
And he had touched back…
It was another half hour before all the parts had been retrieved that could be. The crew set to opening sails, and Kavo watched as his calculations came out perfectly.
The Deceit swung around in a perfect arc, settling west, and they were off towards Harpsford Bay.

After having to the endure excruciating pain of being carried in the net, the barbs scraping and pulling on his skin and scales, he's finally put into the hold.
THe crew plops him down on the floor almost as carelessly as they could before spitting in his face and calling him all sorts of names. Orion didn't care as much for the name calling, as that was normal. But he wanted to gag when they spit in his face. Hygiene was rare amongst pirates so he wasn't surprised when their spit leaves a disgusting smell on his skin and in the air.
They sneer and mock around him at him before one throws a cup of salt water on him, splashing all over him and the corpses he's forced to lay with.
Soon, they leave the room, leaving Orion to sit with himself and the bodies of his friends. Alone.
it's about damn time He thinks to himself with a heavy sigh.
Seeing as the sirens top half slipped through one of the holes in the net, Orion figured he would be able to if he turned human. Obviously with a few cuts here and there, he'd be able to make it out.
(sorry it's short)

"Oh. Um. Shinies. Yes." Inez responded. 'Shinies'? She had to admit, she admired the goblin's drive to steal, but explosions didn't seem necessarily favorable in this context. Inez decided to give the idea the benefit of the doubt, to say that theoretically the firey outbursts from stories she had heard being told to children were based on something real. She clicked rhythmically, thinking about her next move; It'd probably be best to explain to Kavo about her inability to read then address the pyromaniac passenger to the captain. Hopefully her alerting him might distract or make up for her absence. She also remembered leaving her sword and jacket on the deck. She wondered if the sword had slidden off the edge by now, not used to neglecting it like she wa-
"Augh," Inez put her middle and index fingers on her forehead. This she assumed was now the aftermath of whatever fever dream she was having because of the Siren's song. She hoped the burning would end soon, too, since it was beginning to be inconvenient. It reminded her of a mild version of a hangover. Composing herself, she addressed the problem at hand. "Come with me." She said to the goblin. "What'd you say your name was?" Inez asked, opening the door. It was dark now, and wondered if she didn't see the goblin whether or not The Deceit's firey demise would be lighting the sky.
She could tell things had calmed down, since the ship was moving again and the gunshots and yelling were gone.
