Orders to bind and gag the woman received, Tally led the woman out of the room - Gyato moved to accompany her, but she waved him off with one of her free hands. After exiting the room, the woman being pushed in front of her sighed and, before the fishwoman was even really aware of what was happening, slipped free, leaving Tally holding nothing but the woman's gloves.
Ophelia snatched even those from the larger woman's grasp in short order as she gave a dramatic sigh - leaning out of the way as Tally lunged forward to grab her again. "I'm afraid that, for your sake - and the sake of your crew - I must decline the quartermaster's most generous offered accommodations."
Tally spun as the woman ducked under her, reaching out her three hands on the side Ophelia was ducking through - but the woman was just a hair faster, leaving Tally to grab only the feathered hat the woman had been wearing. The martial artist gritted her teeth, whirling around to take off after the woman again, but Ophelia was already back at the door to the common area and opening it up.
"I am very sorry that we have all gotten off on the wrong foot, but please, understand that I am here to help you!" Ophelia announced to the room, and then moved in and slid under the tables and peoples' legs as Tally entered the room behind her. The well-dressed woman popped out on the other side, an object in her hands, which she tossed into the middle of the table. "That's my only weapon, I swear it. I have valuable information about the Black Coven that you simply must know if you plan to continue with your rescue of Syphalia- er, I mean, your... Captain."
Tally sighed, moving across the room - apologizing quietly as she bumped into several of the Shoguns' chairs - to approach the now stock-still Ophelia. The woman didn't move this time as her gaze moved between the various crew members' faces, trying to catch any of their eyes. "If they don't know you're on the island already, you're the luckiest people sailing the seas. There's a woman among them who-" Ophelia was suddenly cut off as Tally clapped a hand over her mouth, roughly pulling her arms behind her back once again.
