[Pssshhhaaaw, Raph wouldn't ever fall! ...But he might misjudge where he was going to land and he totally didn't realize she was sitting there, which results in him having to overcorrect so he doesn't go smashing into her head. He ends up kind of faceplanting on the deck, which he swiftly turns into a forward roll in an attempt to cover his fail.

It ends with him in a kneeling crouched position right in front of her. And though she's been around for a few days now, he hasn't actually bothered to really introduce himself yet.

So.

...He clears his throat.]

Uh. Hey.

[anelegantmyth]

[She had been so focused on her book that when he came crashing down next to her, she jumped.

You're lucky she was too busy with her book to notice your failed landing or you trying to recover from said failed landing. But she did notice her book disappearing from her hands when she was done recovering from her mini heart attack...

...only to hear something go plop into the ocean.]

Oh...huh...

[Well...at least she was half way done with that book? That was better than nothing right? She turns to check on the turtle next to her. By now she was probably used to seeing them]

You okay?

[mostattitude]

[...WELL, hopefully she didn't need that book. Raph's just gonna pretend he didn't see it go flying, and he pushes to his feet and crosses his arms.]

Yeah, duh. Of course. That was part of my workout routine, I'm fine.

[Manly teenage turtle ain't gonna get hurt from one little fall. He grins a little.]

Cynthia, right?

[anelegantmyth]

[She takes a look off the side of the boat to see a faint shade of purple fade into the water.]

...I could still save that. But then again, the pages would have been ruined by now...oh well.

[Then focusing her attention on the teen who so kindly made her drop her book. Don't worry, she's not mad. Look she's even smiling at him.]

Well I heard a rather loud thump. But if it's part of your routine then I'm sure I have nothing to worry about.
Cynthia, sinnoh league champion, at your service.

[mostattitude]

[Cringes a little and gets up on his toes to look over the rail.]

...You want me to go get it?

[He wasn't planning on going for a swim today, but eh. Then he looks back to her.]

Sinno-say what now?

[anelegantmyth]

No no sweetheart, I don't want to trouble you. Besides, books of this era aren't as waterproof. I'm pretty sure even if I sent my Milotic to retrieve it, the ink would have faded from the pages. So it's okay, I have other books I could read.

[Plus she could always buy a new one right? Do they even have reprints in this world? Well they should but...she'll just have to suffer in silence till she finds another copy.]

Sinnoh is the region that I hail from. We have a league there and I am their champion.

[mostattitude]

[Faintly:] ...Sweetheart...? [He makes a face, but doesn't comment on it further than that.]

What the heck is a Milotic? And what kind of league?

[Man, it's like she's talking in tongues. Although the fact that she's the champion piques his interest.]

You some kind of fighter?

[anelegantmyth]

I'm a trainer, not a fighter. That part I leave to my pokemon...uhm...

[She takes a quick look around the deck and then points to a dragon that was shooting flames at a blue dog while a sea snake and a giant pink slug watched.]

There, those are my pokemon. As for my league, they aim to bring together the different trainers of my region to battle it out as see who's the strongest of them all. I was the first girl to win said title and no one's beaten me since.

[mostattitude]

[...Well THAT'S a random assortment of animals that he somehow hadn't noticed. He stares for a moment, before looking back at Cynthia.]

So...those things are the fighters? How long have you had the title?

[anelegantmyth]

Yes those are my fighters. You'd be surprised, they're quite stronger than they appear.

[It's okay if he thinks the giant pink slug is weak. Most people do until they get hit with a sludge bomb.]

and I've had my title for about...seven years, give or take.

[mostattitude]

[Gives a low whistle.]

Seven years? Not bad, sister! Care to demonstrate?

[Juts his chin in the direction of the pokemon.]

What can they do?

[anelegantmyth]

Well I suppose I could have them demo a few things for you. But I promised Kitty that I wouldn't burn down the ship.

[A pause. She was trying to figure out ship/wood friendly moves that she could show.]

[mostattitude]

[A pause over here, as well, as he peers at her like she's a little crazy.]

...Do we even...have a kitty on board? That I somehow didn't know about?

[anelegantmyth]

I'm taking about Gan Ning. I call him Kitty because of his bells and because it REALLY annoys him.

[mostattitude]

[That just makes him eye her even more skeptically.]

Man, you can't go around calling our CAPTAIN something like that! What if an enemy hears you??

[anelegantmyth]

If an enemy hears me, they'd think I'd be talking about a cat, much like you did. So I'm pretty sure that'd work to our advantage since...who'd attack a cat?

[mostattitude]

[Crosses his arms.]

Not if they see you calling him that to his FACE.

[Randomly insulted for their captain, okay, what kind of lame nickname is 'Kitty'??]

[anelegantmyth]

[And here she thought irritating Gan Ning was fun.]

Oh relax, he told me himself that I could make any kind of comment about him at anytime. That was right after you guys announced that he'd be the new capitain...oh right, you were the old captain weren't you?

[mostattitude]

Hmph. Well, fine. I guess.

[At her question, he just nods, puffing his chest out a bit.]

Yeah, that's me. I started the crew with Gaius and Hiccup.

[anelegantmyth]

So that would mean you had the final say on whether or not you guys would take me in as a new member, right? Because that would mean I owe you big time for letting me join this crew.

[mostattitude]

Uh.

[SUDDENLY AWKWARD.

It's not like they'd voted or anything, Gaius had just kind of mentioned her possibly joining and they'd all shrugged at each other and said "sure, why not" but...yeah, he had said yes. As captain. So.]

Right, yeah...not a problem. Don't worry about it. [He rubs the back of his neck.] Sorry there's no other girls.

[anelegantmyth]

There's no need to apologize for that. I actually enjoy being the only girl here. Other than having my own cabin, you guys have been super nice to me ever since I arrived. Especially your brothers.

[mostattitude]

[Snorts.]

Yeah, well. Some of those lamewads tend to crush on every girl that bothers to talk to them, so that's not surprising.

[anelegantmyth]

Seriously? Pff I doubt that's the case here, I'm about a decade older than you boys. So I could pretty much be your mother.

[mostattitude]

[...That's a weird thought. It might show on his face that he thinks so.]

We've never had a mom. But seriously, I doubt that would stop them.
