    ... much." Liddy actually looked worried after explaining all this. Fearing her only two girls would walk out. "I will keep track of how much you are losing because of this and promise to pay you back once we are finished fixing the ship."
    
    "Sounds like a raw deal for us and a risky move for you, given that the ship is barely presentable. Why do this at all?" Hannah asked bluntly.
    
    "Because I am tired of being passed between nobles who tire of me and getting tossed to the soldiery when I'm no longer the type of girl seen as popular in court. It's time I put my talents into making a life for myself on my own terms. I know it is a lot to ask a stranger, but I need your help to make it happen."
    
    "I ended up spending a week with some visiting house guards after one of the nobles had fun with me at a party. So I can understand that. I'm in. Mari?"
    
    "I've already told her I would if you did," Mari smirked.
    
    Liddy sighed in relief. "Thank you. Now as for rules, they are pretty simple. Regardless of if you see clients here or their place, you are to never let money change hands anywhere but on the ship. Legal reasons mostly, but I want everything in the open if we get a bigger crew of girls. Now if you, for some reason, find yourself not getting laid enough and you do it on your own time, then you are free to do so. Just make sure that any paid sex is paid for while on the ship.

Gifts from clients are yours to keep, but if they try to give you extra coins or bills while off the ship, you need to refuse. I don't want you arrested. If you can get them to buy you things instead, then go for it."
    
    "I suppose that all makes sense. Seems silly to refuse the extra money, but last time I was arrested, I was sore for a month." Mari hadn't really enjoyed the experience but happily satisfied city guards for a few days to avoid years of prison guards.
    
    "All paid business should go through me, but I don't want you skipping clients if I'm busy. Sure, you two may have fooled around with nobles, but I lived with them and know the world well enough to keep things safe for you and this ship. Try to avoid personal activities with the upper class and keep them at a distance. They are the clients who should be paying for your body, not getting them for free because you are bored. That's what the people in the class we were born into are for. Also, feel free to entice girls to work on the ship, but wait to promise anything. Any hires are my call to make. Granted, I doubt all interviews will go the way things did today. In fact, I should have avoided that entirely. But that's done and over with. Lastly, the bar is free to drink from while in dock and when we can buy more, but I don't want to arrive somewhere and be cleaned out. Buy ...
