Alina could set them free as a last ditch attempt to save them after he doesn't accept.

((I thought about him just snatching the necklace off her, but she thought of it before so she would be aware that he would try to do that. But yeah, I guess so ))
The shiny necklace caught Alsan's eye immediately. Yes, it was very valuable. Smiling, he got closer, pretending he was having a better look at it, though he already knew what he was going to do. Slowly, he tilted his head, and then in a lightning movement he grabbed it, pulling it towards him quickly and snapping the chain. He raised an eyebrow as he smirked, tucking it into one of his pockets.
"Why, thank you!" he said teasingly, and then chuckled. "Any of you are welcome to serve on this ship whenever you like, but don't expect it to be nicer than being locked up in a cell" he flicked one of his whips dangerously close to Emerald's face. "And if you don't believe me, ask this thing here" he pointed to Alina. "Oh! I almost forgot, she wouldn't be able to answer!" Alsan chuckled coldly again, wondering how far he could provoke them. It definitely did work with Jack. He grabbed onto the bars, snarling. "We will make sure you die a horrible death, you monster!" he spat out. "And we shall never accept any of your dirty offers!"
The slave trader merely laughed again, amused by the lad's anger. "And how do you expect to do that? You are locked in this cell, with no way to get out. I can do anything I want to you, not the other way round!"
Suddenly, Alsan shuddered,moving back a step. The sentence he had just said was almost exactly the same as something his brother had said all those years ago, when he was starved and beaten. He remembered it all vividly, and hated to think about it. But now it all returned to his mind, and the man clenched his fists as anger, fear and guilt bubbled up inside him all at the same time. Letting out a soft groan, he looked to the floor, mixed emotions occupying his mind for a few seconds before he managed to calm down and return to his cold and emotionless self.
"Any more offers?" he said, raising his eyes from the floor and suddenly feeling extremely tired.
((Oh, and I've thought of a reason on why he wears a hood. He has a huge scar running through his right eye and down to his left cheek, and a burn under his jaw. Otherwise it would make no sense for him to wear a hood ))

Emerald felt a slight feeling of hope stir inside of her when Alsan took interest in the chain, and she was just about to smile when he reached for the chain. It all happened so fast but it seemed to go so slow. She saw his hand clutch around the end of the necklace, felt it tug on the back of her neck, and then it snapped, the necklace coming away in the man's hands. Emerald gasped and threw herself against the bars, reaching her hands out to try and grab the necklace. "No!" she shrieked as if someone had just stole her child. "No! Give it back! You have to give it back!" Her voice wasn't strong and confident like it normally was, but high and desperate as tears pricked the back of her eyes.

Alsan turned as he heard the leader throw herself against the bars, obviously desperate about the necklace situation. He frowned, pulling it out of his pocket and dangling it just out of her reach as he fixed his eyes on hers. He was silent for a few moments, before curiously asking:
"How much are you willing to do for this necklace?" he was extremely curious about how capable they were, and was already beginning to find them rather interesting, and considering to keep them.


Jack frowned as he saw how upset Emerald was, and leaned back on the bars, giving Alina a small smile before going back to thinking of a way to get out. They could always offer him their service, but that would mean enduring a week of hard work, and, by the looks of it, whipping. That should only be a last resource, especially since they had Diana with them. What else could they do? He wanted to kill Alsan, but didn't think it would be the appropriate moment, and even if it was, how?

Emerald reached for the necklace, stretching her hand out, as he dangled it just out of her reach. She gulped when he asked what she would do for the necklace. "I'll do almost anything as long as none of my friends are hurt or put in harms way." she answered quietly, eying the necklace.

((It's 1 am here. I really should be getting to sleep. I'll post tomorrow! ))

Alina flinched when Alsan pointed at her and turned her face away to hide all the emotion clear on her face. Alina jumped slightly at Jack's sudden outburst and even lifted her head enough to watch. She was stunned even further when the necklace was taken and my the leader's desperation to get it back. She heard Emerald's words and began shaking her head and lifting her hands trying to tell Emerald not to say things like that, her master would hold her to it and he could think up the worst things to do to a person.

Frank had been out of it most of the journey, his injury taking its toll as he sat in the dark corners, but the words came from Alsan angered him, gave him new life and soon he was on his feet, rocking with the ship as he held tightly to the bars and made his way forwards, standing parallel with Emerald and squinting at the necklace, his face battered, bloody and bruised, he look like he had been dragged to hell and back, which was half true, he listened to the captors words before smirking "She is not going with you, she is not going to do anything for you" he rasped with a broken voice , glancing to Emerald quickly before turning his attention back to Alsan "Take me, I'll work, I've been on a ship before, I can do almost any job" he said, a little stronger now "But you give her that necklace" he added with an almost growl, a determined look on his face with even with that emotion seemed plain yet meaningful.

Meanwhile on the mainland, Nicolas was enjoying his third day of partying, he was in a complete state and had almost gambled off most of his money, luckily several highly recommended members of his house came to the rescue and secured the money safely. He had found himself lathered with affection from the women and admiration from the men and was bragging about how he won this, and who he was going to grab from the slave sales.

- sorry, lack of imagination at the moment, starting University next Sunday so I'm stressing everywhere :/ -

"wait." Diana stood up. "why not me? i can work. get someone to teach me a little more, it won't take long before i learn something. i can be useful. take me, i'm not injured and i'm young. Give her the necklace back, and i can be put to work as soon as possible." Diamante grabbed Diana and pulled her close. "don't listen to her, she's only a foolish child!" Diamante cried frantically. she glared at Diana, wondering what the hell she was thinking. Desmond silently watched, watching the slavemaster, wondering what will happen next. "please don't take him, sir." Diana pleaded. "you can't seperate him from Emerald. you just can't." Diamante placed a hand on Diana's mouth to silence her. "shh! enough! stop it!" Diamante hissed in her ear.
