Illiana finishes with the screw she's working on and turns to Booth and Will. "Maybe he should help Dr. Poosh then, so we can get them off the ship ASAP."

Will nods, and says, "He did seem really into it, when we are on planet. I was surprised because when we came on board he said he didn't have the skills. This is his project, you'd think he'd be excited to dive into it." The big goat's ears twitch in amusement at his own choice of words, and he smiles.

Booth looks up at Will, "Can you do any of that warding stuff that the war band had set up? Rose could use something like that. Evidently the wards froze up some of those guys."

Will shakes his head, and says, "Sorry. I do not cast any magic. I was more interested in physical fighting as a child, and never learned magic. I have a brother that is good at that kind of thing, but that doesn't help us here." He pauses, and says, "I don't know why you didn't go down on planet, because we could have used your trading abilities. You might have gotten us a deal with the Shaman for such a warding."

Illiana pulls a hunk of food out of a pocket. She takes a bite and chews thoughtfully for a moment. "Could Cesta do something like that? How long will it last? Could we pay the warband to do it? I wouldn't mind visiting them in the regular." She smiles broadly and waits for an answer.

"I have no idea what Cesta's capabilities are. His race is known for some very high level magics, but who knows, and the warband? We did trust the old man to heal Rose, but to my understanding a ward like that would take upkeep. I'm not really sure of the particulars. maybe we could ask Cesta?" Will asks. He shakes his head as he thinks about the subject.

Booth smiles at Will "Do you really want to ask Cesta for anything? I mean he is nice enough, but I haven't traveled with someone so snooty ever. Your Shaman friend helped Rose a bit, but I don't think its keeping. I am not sure why but it doesn't seem to stick too much. Could it be because she is attached to the ship?"

Illiana crosses her arms over her chest, lifts an eye brow and looks at Booth. "He saved our asses at that art show. Snooty he may be but he has a vested interest in the ship and he's part of the crew. As for the other, could the ship be pulling extra energy from her in some way? "

Will fixes a look at Booth, "Perhaps, if you considered Cesta, you would think of him a little more charitably. His race is all but dead, he was a slave before that, and he is trying to learn his place in a new world that has little in common with what he knew. Even if we compare his experiences before this, he was a slave that was likely kept isolated because of his worth as a spell caster. . ." The Beastman pauses, while keeping eye contact with Booth, "Perhaps not unlike a Diakan that is separated from his fellows. Maybe being 'snooty' is actually less snooty, than him grappling with some very big issues that his race is not prominent, and everything they taught him about our races were wrong."
"I don't know, Illiana, the ship could be, but I only understand the ship side of this. The pilot side requires a whole different specialty. I was not actually allowed to much contact with the pilot I worked for before," Will explains.

Booth just stares at Will, a look of annoyance crossing his face when mention of Daikan occurs. "I will concede that maybe Cesta isn't as snooty as he appears, although I think there is some snootiness there. He might have been a slave, but he seems like a slave that had power over others. I could be wrong though, I will reconsider my view. However, it isn't similar to Daikan at all, that is nothing you would understand and would be a bit like me referring to your herd or whatever its called."
The brief annoyance disappears, along with another emotion and he returns to the same toothy Booth smile, then a concerned look crosses his face. "I realize Doctor Poosh isn't someone familiar with pilots specifically, I may have the location of someone who does and maybe they can show us and the doctor how to take care of her"

Will's ears flatten, and he leans towards the Daikan, and says, "No. It's not like you referring to my 'herd or whatever' because I have carefully chosen not to use insulting language to refer to you or other Daikan, because that would show a racist ignorance about another species. I like to keep things to only what I see in front of me. For instance, I can't help but wonder if you were dropped on your head when you were young, to be so willfully ignorant in your insults to someone so clearly bigger than you. It shows a lack of survival instincts." Will then smiles, but the warmth does not really reach his eyes.

Illiana heaves a huge sigh and puts her food back in her pocket. "I think his cavalier attitude toward his insults is why he's on his own." She turns to Booth trying and failing to hide her annoyance. "Booth could you do me a favor and check Roses sarcophagus to make sure nothing is looped back and drawing on her for extra power." She uncrosses her arms and leans forward just a bit to let the Diakan know she's serious.

Booth doesn't flinch when Will steps forward a glint of aggression flickers across his face. Just as he is about to say something he cocks his head to Illiana and he listens to her. He nods as his look softens. "I will of course go check on her. There was a weird spike earlier but it settled back down. I had assumed it was a reaction to the magic. Besides I don't think anyone has has read to her recently."
As he reaches the door he turns around and looks at Will. That glint in his eyes surfacing again momentarily. "Anytime you want to put your words to the test about my survival, I am here Deathstorm."

Illiana throws her hands up in surrender turning to Will. "REALLY! How could he ever think he could take you. I wonder if he has a death wish." She shakes her head. "I'm sorry, I wish I could get the story out of him as to how he became this way."

Will keeps his eyes on Booth, "I choose to go by the name Will now. I don't know why you seem hellbent on goading my daughter or I constantly, but I'm tired of it. I have treated you with respect, to both you and your race, and you've done nothing but insult us. Trouble is a child, and you took advantage of that to insult her, and then complained when she reacted like a child would to an adult verbally attacking her."
Will takes a breathe and slowly lets it out, "if I was still Deathstorm you'd have been dead already, so kindly fuck off." The beastman keeps his voice carefully calm, and his breath even, but his eyes are focused, his ears are back, and his nostrils are flared.
