There's an awkward moment as Zel blankly stares at the outstretched hand wordlessly, obviously registering the gesture yet with no immediate indication that she'll accept it. She does, of course, it would be rude not to. She'll accept the handshake at roughly the same point Olivier might consider retracting it. It's a bit tingly.
"Charmed."

Yarrow isn't sure whether the appropriate response to Leere noticing her tell, identifying her Exaltation, presumably identifying her Caste, and taking it completely in stride, is to be pleased or concerned. She settles for confused and wonders if she's just too used to needing to staple con-artists to their promises. Whatever the case, with the deal done with and the meeting rapidly disintegrating Yarrow moves on to her next priority: figuring out who any of these people are.
When Raito finishes his response to whoever it is on the microbead, Yarrow says: "My apologies, but I must have missed introductions. You are...?"

Avoiding pronouns like the plague for a reason. " Ahem. My apologies." Raito issues a somewhat more respectful bow to the kitsune who'd introduced herself with the rank of captain. "I am Raito, one who knows ten thousand things, as well as, I believe, acting liaison to a ship that had taken interest in this venture." Another tap of the micro-bead. "Raam has been listening in for the details himself, since he was unable to grace us with his presence in person."

Yarrow mirrors Raito's bow. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Raito. All knowledge is a blessing. I have heard mention of another ship, and I take it that Raam would be the captain? Were the others who were at the table also with your ship?"

"You would be mistaken. Raam is not the captain. Raam is the ship.

Scrutiny roll: 29. I think that's a success. She tries to tell if he's bullshitting, realizes he isn't, and considers this bit of information. She opens her mouth, decides to consider it a bit longer, and closes her mouth. Finally, with much consideration, she arrives at a response of: "Fascinating." And then: "So, a hivemind crew? Or... uh... actually the entire ship, hull and all?"

At any given time I'm either drunk or doing math. Sometimes both at the same time.

Zel places a hand before her mouth, fingers curled with her thumb resting in the crook of her index; almost as if to obscure the small grin she's making. Needless to say, she's in agreement with Yarrow here. This is fascinating. She's never heard of something like this... to be fair, there's a lot she hasn't heard of. Turns out singularly devoting oneself to a very specific topic doesn't leave many opportunities open to expand one's knowledge beyond that. Not that it really matters, she'll pick up all that extraneous information eventually. It won't be difficult. Putting that aside, however, whoever this 'Raam' is... she wants to meet him. If this person is the vessel, then surely he'll have great indight on its/his operation.

"well, if that will be all then, I'll leave you to your preparations then." With that, Leere walks over to the counter, ringing the bell and leaving some thrones on the counter before walking out.

Yarrow raises her eyebrows at Olivier's answer, and says to Raito: "Well, I have learned one thing this day. Perhaps in ten-thousand-less-one more days I will match your breadth of understanding. If you would, please inform Raam that I would like to read over their spec sheet, if they have one on hand, at some point before we leave port."
She bows to Raito once more, before turning to approach Olivier and Zel. To them she says: "I am afraid that I arrived too late to catch either of your names. Are you both also working with Raam?"

"As it stands yes. Olivier Lenhiem" He extends his hand to shake Yarrows.

"Good to meet you, Olivier." She shakes his hand, and turns to Zel. Guessing from the lab attire and the jingling backpack that this person is the technical type, she indicates Zel's datapad with a gesture and asks: "Is that one of the new models, miss...?"

Zel glances up to acknowledge Yarrow, taken out of her moment of reverie, and takes the opportunity actually look her over. Looks to fit the captain role well enough, dressed about how she'd expect. She'll give her a shot, maybe she's as competent as she appears. Maybe. So long as she doesn't get it in her head that she knows better in regards to Zel's engineering duties, this might well be a productive acquaintanceship. "Zel." She replies, "And, yes, it is."

due to slowposting and consensus on the server, i'm gonna be enabling a timeskip As the night grows late, the proprietor eventually ushers everyone out so he can close up. The party is, of course, left with the first half of the downpayment, 500,000 thrones. The day of departure, and the delivery of the second half of the downpayment, is in three days. Until then, you are all left to do as you see fit. In other words, with the narration voice turned off, you're getting three days of downtime. Go ahead and announce how you'll be spending it, and then we'll be timeskipping to the day of departure.

Zel will spend as much of that time as possible immersing herself in/familiarizing herself with the ship and its systems, as well as pestering Raam at every opportunity for as much information as he can provide her. She's not so much interested in socializing with her new associates barring what's necessary for basic courtesy.
