Captain Lauren considered the rabbit one of her men had found belowdecks, hiding in a barrel. The lapine beauty appeared to be trying to find passage across the sea, and had been caught when trying to sneak food from the galley. She ordered her brought abovedecks, and looked down upon her as she had been tied to the ship by one of her stallions. Her crew entirely equine or bovine, she had never had anyone with paws set foot aboard her ship.

"Did you really think you'd be able to get across the sea without being discovered?" Lauren asked.

"It would be foolish to say yes now, don't you think?" Liane responded, answering a question with a question.

Lauren pointed her weapon at her. "It would be impractical for us to turn back, you will apparently get your wish after all. Though I do not tolerate freeloaders, you will either perform a service on this ship or you will swim back that way towards land, and hope someone else picks you up!" She stomped a hoof between the bunny's legs. "Well?"

"What... What sort of services?" Liane asked.

Lauren rubbed her chin. "Women are equal to men on this ship, you may either help the crew or you may 'help' the crew, it is up to you which you choose. Or if you intend to remain dressed like that, you may wish to remain in my cabin as my personal bedwarmer. My cabin grows cold here in the northern oceans, and I have little interest in most of the men on board other than for an occassional dalliance. What say you?"

The rabbit seemed to consider her options, examining the zebra's body with interest. Lauren knew that while a man might insist he be allowed to have her for his bedwarming services, a female would likely have no interest in such a thing. She had no intentions of becoming pregnant, but that would not be a risk with the bunny.

"I will stay in your cabin." The bunny squirmed as she cut her ropes, allowing her to stand.

Lauren put her weapon away, taking her turn to examine the bunny carefully. She would have to watch this one.
