Mars was at the meeting hall quite a bit early, it was only Saarva that was there when he'd arrived. Eventually, after seeing quite a few people enter, eventually. once everyone had entered Mars decided to hold a conversation with the first person who walked up to him. After a while of him standing in a corner, an incredibly tall, muscular, and overall strong looking Kano started wandering away from the main group over to him. Oh gods I hope I don't have to converse with someone like her, a brute, one who would waste the greatest gift anyone could be given, the mind, one who would aban- he cut himself off when he realised that the woman's shadow was on top of him.

Having entered the hall a bit late, Relgia was relieved that there were still folk standing around. In particular, a dark haired man seemed to be simply waiting for something. What better chance would she have? As she walked towards the man, she thought she might've detected a bit of fidgeting. Ah. The man must be shy. Best to crack that shell early then. She flexed a hand, audibly popping a few knuckles, and held it out to the man.
"So you're part o' the new crew too, right? I'm Relgia. S' nice ta meetcha."

Well, at least her face looks friendly, and I do suppose that it's not impossible for her to be smart despite her accent, size, and seeming lack of grace. Mars thought to himself before putting on his best fake smile and shaking Relgia's hand "Oh, yes, I don't believe we have met before, have we? I am Marcellus Sullyvan, but please, call me Mars." Mars tried to give a very firm handshake, the strongest one that he could muster, in fact, in an attempt to level with Relgia. Here's to hoping this one can either change me or change herself. Mars thought.

Feeling a firm grip, Relgia relaxed a bit and put more power into her hand. The man was small, but apparently wasn't as frail as she was expecting.
"Mars then, aye? You ready to find these rantallions and rip 'em a new one?"
Relgia paused and gave the man a good once over. There wasn't a clear sign of occupation, not that she could discern anyways, but she let out a smile and looked him dead in the face.
"What're you good at anyways? I'm a sailor. Got a lot of time on the sea and I figured they'd appreciate an extra deck-hand. I'm also pretty dang nifty with a axe. What're you addin' to the pot?"
She puffed her chest out a bit in pride as she spoke, obviously quite taken with herself.

Mars gritted his teeth behind his lips as he felt every muscle and bone in his hand strain due to the increased pressure of Relgia's hand. Well, I'm not getting out of this handshake by myself am I? Mars thought while trying really, really hard not to break his smile.
"Oh, er, yes, the mission, I am ready to move out when we are, uh, ready to go. Also uh, if you wouldn't mind, I can't really think straight with my hand in a vice grip so uh, I'd love to answer your other question but please, loosen you hand a little." Mars said with clear signs of discomfort creeping through his smile.

"Right? Ah, sorry 'bout that."
Relgia let go of the man's hand. He did seem nervous. Was this the first time he was going to be in combat? Or was this just nerves?
"You, uh. You alright there, Mars?"
[–]Randyl_PitchforkMars, Mage (A) 1 point  
Mars paused for quite a bit, was his alright? He wanted to make friends and the first time he'd tried that he almost revealed his past and plans, now this time he was closer to a broken hand than he'd ever been in his life.
"No, I'm fine, this is just an odd situation for me is all, with anything new comes some uh, growing pains." Mars said in an attempt to crack a joke "I usually work alone or in groups that won't be together for too long, so I don't bother getting to know people. This time is different, we're likely to be together for quite a while, so trusting you all enough to guard my back and for me to guard yours is probably a good idea."

"You got it there. We're all parta the same crew now, so we gotta stick together. Don't worry too much 'bout rockin' the boat. You ever need help in the future just holler and I'll split some heads."
She gave a solid pat on the mans' back as she spoke, laughing good naturedly.

Oof Mars made a noise like he'd just gotten the wind knocked out of him, he put his hands on his knees and just breathed for about 10 seconds. "Well, uh" cough "thank you for the offer, if you ever need my talents, just ask."
Just as Relgia was about to pipe up, Mars cut her off "Oh, sorry, yes, I forgot, you don't know about my talents? Do you? Sorry, that's my fault, I can uh..." Mars paused and pulled a red book out from a bag that was underneath his robes "... do this." FWOMP Mars created a fireball in his right hand with his left clinging on to the tome. Unfortunately, the fireball was misshapen, crude, like a novice's first attempt, this was mainly due to his hand still being in pain, diverting his focus, but the fact that he was still catching his breath probably didn't help either.

The lackluster fireball did little to advertise Mars' talents, especially to a race that could create flame at will. Still, being able to do magic was quite useful, Relgia only had to think back on her own experiences to admit that it was a worthwhile skill. And Saarva wouldn't have recruited him if he didn't have worth.
"That's, eh. Magic's interestin'. Tried it out myself when I was younger, but I couldn't even blow hot air or conjure mud. Guess I was a bit of a flop."
She shrugged her back shoulders palms out, and gave a bit of a wry smile.
"Not to say I think you're hogwash though. I'll be sure to lean on you at times. Can only swing an axe so far after all."

Well, there's something interesting, she's tried to use magic before, maybe there's hope to make a friend of this brute yet. Mars thought in a very condescending and rude tone.
"Well uh, ok then, I do suppose that I ought to start talking with the rest of the people at this party. But it was really nice talking with you, I'll look forward to our next meeting." Mars' smile relaxed in a way that would made it clear to an active observer that his last smile was uh, manufactured, to an extent.

"Aye, go on ahead. 'S nice talkin' with ya."
Relgia watched the man go, scratching her hair a bit with her left hand. He was definitely restraining himself. Even now, she didn't know if he was the sort of person she'd grab a bite to eat with. Still, it seemed like he'd loosened up at least. Perhaps she'd take a shine to him later. Rolling all four of her shoulders, she vented out a small puff of flame similar to Midas' efforts.
"No use thinkin' too hard. Gotta follow suit. We're all in this together after all."
With that said, she headed towards the next figure, eager to get to know her new crew.
