<span class="mu-i">“Yes, yes and no. This job…”</span> The Captain shrugs with a grimace. <span class="mu-i">“It is very <span class="mu-g">politico</span>, you understand? Local bravos will not do, even if you find a one of them without too much wagging tongue. Suffice to say there are some very powerful <span class="mu-g">Famiglie</span> in this and whoever was involved might do well to spend a little while elsewhere afterwards. But you, <span class="mu-g">L’Orso Tempesta</span>, need not
worry about such things in your case.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“And what is this ‘job’ then?”</span> It’s hard to keep the apprehension out of your voice, given the evasiveness.
<span class="mu-i">“I cannot tell too much without knowing you are in, else I am little better than the bragging bravo.”</span> He offers you an apologetic smiles at this. <span class="mu-i">“But it does involve a thing, a person, that has been taken. And we will be doing the taking from the them.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Kidnapping?”</span> The curl of your lip is evident when you ask the question.
<span class="mu-i">“Kidnapping <span class="mu-s">from</span> the kidnappers, <span class="mu-g">sì</span>.”</span> Alfonso nods, confident this justifies the whole endeavour. <span class="mu-i">“I can assure you, this person will be doing the better for the being taken. And your cut in the job will pay well. <span class="mu-s">Very</span> well.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“And let me guess…”</span> You glance back at your companions still enjoying themselves on the deck outside. <span class="mu-i">“The job is tonight?”</span>
<span class="mu-g">“Sì.”</span> The Captain nods, still wearing that easy smile. <span class="mu-i">“We set sail before anyone even thinks to consider us. And then I should think the next year or two trading elsewhere may suit me.”</span>

>“That was ill said, Captain. I am a knight, not a sellsword. My duty is with the pilgrims and their safe conduct.” This is an offer of payment, not a call for aid honestly asked for. You will not get involved, but you do not try to dissuade the Captain from going ahead with his plan. [Haughty]
> “Count me in then, but only because it is you asking. Where to from here?” Technically, this would probably be considered him asking for aid. You could use the excitement and, while you are loathe to admit it, your coinpurse has been getting a little light as of late… [Hearty]
>“You’ve come to recruit me, but you don’t sound too certain about this yourself. Are you really sure you need to get involved in something so… messy?” You’re well aware of the nestle of thorns that is the Langlish family power plays. You try to dissuade the Captain from getting involved at all. [Idealist]
