Just Another Day

"Have you trained it yet?" Ryoichi asked Turai.

"She's only been here for a day," Turai corrected the cat, with emphasis on Shanku being a bit more than one more barrel on deck. "It takes longer than that to train a new member."

"What training?" Shanku asked suspiciously.

"Raiding protocol, loot sharing, combat. Those kind of things," said Turai.

"Do I have to?" Shanku whined.

"You did win the fight." Turai patted her on the back.

"Lose/lose situation!" Shanku wailed as she hung her head and drooped her wings. She righted herself and crossed her arms over her chest. "Okay, so what's raiding protocol?"

"When the cap'n gives the order, swoop in and kill or knock-out any soldiers," Turai stated with a finger in the air.

"Loot?" Shanku asked.

"Bring everything aboard to be divided among the crew," Turai gestured at the ship.

"Combat?" Shanku dropped her hands to her side.

"Don't let the crew die and dodge any attacks!" Turai said confidently with his fist by his head.

"Sounds soooo complicated," Shanku mocked as she rolled her eyes she made the "scary claw" gesture at him.

"It can be..." Turai said defeatedly.
