Illiana's face goes grave as Will speaks. "I had no idea. I'm sorry if I've made things worse or harder for you. " She stops and seems to think for a few moments before going forward.
"I guess, it was just fun to have some one to indulge in my more playful side with. As for the blood lust. I have issues with that myself but I'll try my hardest to not make things worse for Trouble. If your worried about her not having a place she can live with my tribe. I'd like to think of her as a sister so she'll always have a place with me as well. "

Will softens a bit, and smiles, "Playing is good. Too rough for human play and sparring is fantastic. I see we were not communicating. Beastmen children are trying at the best of times, and she is lucky to have such good friends."
He continues, "She will be drawn to war bands and chaos, and unlike me, she will be targeted very badly. I just wish there were more Beastmen that refused to deal with Chaos, or be thugs for hire, but Chaos offers so much to us," He says. "Thank you very much for understanding."

The Captain gives a small smile to both of his crew. Without glancing up at the speakers he directs his words at the ship. "You heard that right Rose? She needs your help to guide her. If you have a question talk to Will."Captain Conrad Fischer A few seconds later a young female voice responds. "I will Captain, and I am really sorry Will if I caused problems. I didn't know she could get hurt by it. It won't happen again."Rose

"Im the last person that would ever knowingly drive her to chaos. Maybe I can encourage her to fight against it. " Illiana extends a hand toward Will and as if it she will explode unless she says it she blurts "I let Trouble out of the brig!" She exhales, a weight leaving her. "WOW! Im hungry. Anyone else want lunch?"

Will looks at Illiana like he often looks at Trouble when she's been bad. It's not anger, but a very fatherly look, "You can't drive Trouble to chaos. Chaos is just really easy for her to go to, and unlike the rest of you, we hear that call very clearly."
Then he leans down to look at Illiana closely in the face, "I know you would never mean the girl harm. I am sure now that you know why I do the things I do, you will be a lot more careful. You are forgiven."
Then he leans back, and says to a remarkably suspicious silence, "You too, Red. I know you wouldn't want to let this snowball, so you are forgiven as well."
He finishes his drink, and catches the Captain's eye with his own amusement.

Illiana gives Will one slow blink. "Thank you Will. Would you like to finish my glass of whiskey?"

Captain Fischer smiles as he leaned back in his chair. He turns his attention to Will. "Since your daughter is a beastman, I am assuming she is more capable then a human that age. Can she start working with you folks on planet when you go down? I didn't know if maybe we started treating her as someone becoming an adult if that might help as well. Especially since she is capable in a fight."The Captain watches Will's response with interest. Captain Conrad Fischer

Will smiles, and takes the drink from Illiana, before turning to the Captain, "Trouble would be going out in a war band by this age. I wouldn't ever send her off on her own, but she could go on missions that were not politically tenuous, or incredibly dangerous. Beatmen her age are very aggressive, and need an outlet. This is why touchy political situations would be a terrible mix. Most humans are not comfortable with a 12 year old girl backing them up. She is a capable as any adult human, but she has no common sense at all. There is a death toll on Beastmen her age because they get ground up as combat fodder a lot."
"It's hard to tell what is worse, a fighter and the non stop aggression, or a shaman the the proximity to chaos that they must tread," Will says, then takes a polite human sip of the drink Illiana had given him.

Illiana yawns and stretches like a cat, the chair creaking. "She has great roll models, I think that's a step in the right direction. And speaking from experience the more you deny a child something the more they want it. I won't lie and say I understand the fear your feeling, but I can say you'll have an extra pair of eyes to watch out for her."

The Captain watches both crew members speak and nods. He turns to Will. "Make sure your daughter is capable with all the basic weapons and land borne skills, if she is then you can tell her we will move her up to a crew member, if you think she is ready for it."
The Captain's eyes drift to a picture of his teenage daughter in her first Alemannia's military uniform, "By the end of the war, I knew human children that were Trouble's age able to engage the enemy as effectively or even more effectively then grown adults earlier in the war. Just make sure you think she is ok doing this emotionally as well. I realize Beastmen don't have the same qualms, and I admit I have still a hard time sometimes seeing Trouble as a beastman, but I trust you know what your daughter is capable of and what is good for her."Captain Conrad Fischer

Will looks over his glass at Illiana, "I will need help to keep an eye on her with missions. She will have a tendency to run away with things, and the blood lust isn't something she's mastered yet. If you were willing to help keep an eye on her with me, it might make this transition much easier."
Will then says to the Captain, "Part of the reason she was not allowed to go on missions, is the human perception of her being a 12 year old human child. She's ready. She is as capable as any young new crewman. She has the skills, but her size gets in her way occasionally. I'd take her over someone new to space travel any day. She was raised on all sorts of ships, with various levels of boarding activities. She's always been a rabid defender of the ships she's lived on to the detriment to boarders." Will smiles proudly.

Iliana stands and straightens her face grave. She puts a fist to her heart and bowes slightly to Will. "With my life." She straightens again and shakes herself her demeanor and body language changing. "Who's ready for food? Im cooking and Ezelle is waiting!"

The captain smiles at Illiana and starts to stand. "I could use some food to go with those drinks."
As he walks around the desk he pats Illiana on the back, "You will be good for her, if you have questions go to Will, he will know how to handle the situation."He turns to Will, "You coming for some food? You can bring Trouble, I am sure she is hungry, I am sure she is always hungry".Captain Conrad Fischer

Illiana nods to the captain and strides to the door to open it. She motions for Will and the Captain to go through first.
