"Your parents?" Kazuki asked as he sipped the tea. "Not bad," He said. "Never expected to be sitting down to a cup of tea in the middle of the ocean."

Yuriis sat down and had a sip of tea as well. "We weren't expecting to be ambushed by pirates this early in our journey either. Luckily, we didn't have our cargo at the time."

"Why'd they send you for this anyway? You don't seem the type to go on a delivery run," Kazuki said as he finshed his tea.

Yuriis looked up at Kazuki while taking another sip, then looked back down, setting the cup on the table. "I'm the only one out of our entire country that can properly handle this special cargo. In fact, if I wasn't here to keep it in check, the crew would've already been dead by now."

"Well then, we'll have to make sure nothing happens to you," Kazuki replied, only half believing her. "Though that makes me wonder just what this cargo is."

"Well since you agreed to protect this ship, you definitely deserve to know what we're shipping back to our homeland."
Yuriis wiped her mouth with a napkin, then stood up. "Come with me, I'll show you what it is."

Kazuki got up and followed Yuriis. "I never expected you to actually show me to be honest," he said.

"As I told you, you're this ship's guardian till we get back." Yuriis said, opening the cargo bay door. "Plus... more outsiders need to know what's going on in Nocturnia."
Yuriis walked over to a waist-high casket-length cage covered with a sand-colored blanket. "Stand back please. And try not to make any sudden movements." she stated, slowly pulling the blanket off.
Under the blanket in the cage was a young girl with aqua-green hair and blue eyes. She was gagged, with a Strait-jacket on and heavy chains restraining her. The young girl turned and looked up at Kazuki with a blank stare.

Shocked at the site of the caged girl, Kazuki took a step back. "Wha... what the hell? Why is that girl tied up like that?"

"For the safety of the crew." Yuriis stated. "If she were allowed to roam free, she would have killed everyone on board."
The girl continued staring at Kazuki without blinking or looking away.
