Sage watched the other ship move towards them, frowning slightly as it altered its course to turn and line the ships up. So there would be a fight....it didn't look like they'd be avoiding it now. He huffed out a breath and moved to stand by the end of the railing, effortlessly loading a pistol as he watched the other ship even out, the familiar weight of his blade on his hip slightly comforting.

He couldn't say he wasn't a little bit excited though ....life was sometimes rather boring on a ship, and the way a good fight got his adrenaline pumping and the blood running through his veins was a feeling he enjoyed. Probably more than he should. Whatever.

He scowled when the first cannon went off, shouting back at his own crew to fire at will, running back up to the steering wheel and taking his place next to the man at the helm, aiming strategically at the enemy's important people. He was looking for the captain, only finding him after a minute. His pistol was empty by then, so he drew his dagger, moving down again to block the entrance to the part of the ship with the man at the helm, the steering parts, and the entrance to the hold where all their supplies were kept. He'd keep them safe....anyone wanting to get to anything important, they'd have to get through him. And he wouldn't go down easy.
