Alexander stood on the bow of the ship "Macaroni", admiring the beautiful ocean. He thought of his friends back in the city, he especially thought of Adelaide. He wondered what they were doing right now, and if they were okay. He wondered if someone had taken them in and fed them, or if they were doomed to spend another harsh winter out in the cold in a few seasons. He sighed and wondered if he should have become a navy cabin-boy. He missed his friends greatly as he watched the tossing waves of the everlasting ocean.

We loved the sea, and it branded us with pain…

Xander grinned, laughing openly, through a wide grin as he spoke so freely of his “dashing good looks” and, reaching up to playfully swat his head once, she chuckled leaning back a little more against his desk side as, again, she crossed her arms over her chest. It took her some time to respond to his mention of her parents, distance claiming her eyes as she averted her gaze swiftly from his, chewing gingerly upon the corner of her lips as she pondered to the memories she held of her parents. Those whom had lost her, and those who had most likely forgotten all about her by now. Or, so she hoped. She swallowed, feeling a bitter cold rise in her chest as she recalled the faces of her parents, their judgmental eyes boring into her hotly as she let her eyelids fall closed over her light iris. They would be so disappointed in her now, seeing her like this, what with the pirate getup, and her undying reputation. She swallowed… would they, or had they recognized her from her many posters? She let her eyes flutter open, her gaze raining down upon the figure in the wanted poster that lay upon Liam’s desk and, shaking her head inwardly, she argued that idea she had summoned. None could have recognized her from those terrible witness sightings, those failed attempts to recreate her face. In fact, if she lost the clothes and the scowl, she could most likely don a dress and walk through a town safely, with little fear of any taking any notice in her. It was an appeasing thought, and yet sorrowful as well. How long had her parents searched for her? And she for them? She cleared her throat… she had spent so little time thinking to them at all… most of her earlier months upon the ship having been saved for only Liam’s memories, and her mourning for his loss. Of course she had not told them.. She hadn’t returned to her little town since her vanishing.. She had had no reason or will to. In her mind, the person she had cared for more then any else had been killed… torn away from her in the thick of the storm.
She blinked, struggling to scramble back into reality again as she turned her gaze upon Liam, smiling a little as she shook her head, fingers coming up to gently rap themselves upon her lips as she narrowed her eyes slyly towards him. “I have not,” she purred softly. “And besides… what do you think my father would say? Upon seeing me now?” She chuckled. “In my mind… my status may have been a huge accomplishment… years of work having aided me in reaching this point… but in his eyes…” She paused, standing and making her way about the desk and, once she stood across from him, she leaned forward, resting her upper body heavily upon the desk. “In his eyes I am far lower then any town peasant…” She sighed, laughing a little as she recalled his words again and, taking a moment to look down towards her attire, she raised an eyebrow skeptically in his direction, an almost mockingly smooth smile caressing her lips. “So you took notice in my.. Clearly revealing outfits?”



Yet now I find myself trapped within its beauty… like a million times before…

Liam grinned, ducking his head but still getting hit by Xander's hand. His grin faded as he watch her take her time to answer him. 'Her parents... Damnit Liam, you idiot!' he thought, cursing himself for his stupidity. Her parents were snobs, rich snobs, but snobs none the less. Liam remembered watching through a window the special lessons Xander had to go through in order to become a lady like her mother. It made him laugh, but he bit his lip in order not to disturb her thinking. When she finally did speak, she spoke of her father's approval, not of her mother's. He remembered her father as well, remembered that he thought of him as a 'fine lad' but not the kind of lad he wanted hanging around his daughter.
"Well Xander," he said, looking at her as she rested her upper body on the top of his desk. "I have to say, I think your accomplishments are wonderful, if only they were made for our side." Liam sighed, bringing their differences into play. "I mean, from an objective point of view, I'm estatic that you've made it this far! Really I am!" he said, his eyes shining how they used too, whenever they talked about pirates and sailing on the sea. "I truly am." he smiled, bringing his hand to her face. "I'm torn Xander. I really am." he said suddenly, shutting his eyes. "I can't ignore my duty, but I can't ignore the fact that it really is you." he said exasperatedly. Liam looked away from her, his hand still on her face, "I don't want to lose you again. Not to myself, or by any other Captain, Naval or otherwise. I... I don't think I could bear it." he said finally, looking at her, his mouth set and firm, but eyes desperate for some sort of agreement.
We loved the sea, and it branded us with pain…

Xander sighed, breathing deeply as his soft touch fell upon her cheek, his words comforting, and yet, all the while, worried. Concern riddled his tone, a fear of what their differences may drive the both of them towards. Xander swallowed, biting the inside of her cheek softly as she watched him, gaze un shaking as she kept her deep eyes locked upon his face, lifting a hand to rest it upon his own as she let herself lean into his touch, if only a little. She blinked, nodding slightly in true understanding of his worries, able to understand, and empathize with him now. After all… did she not have her duty as well? They were both of great power in their places… unlikely to give up their strength, their crews just for the others… and yet, here she was, feeling her heart leap, and then sink, only to be lifted again by every word he muttered so softly. Something about him put a spell upon her… it always had, since they were young.. Since she had first met him upon those docks. Something in his eyes, as they glittered so brightly, that made her simply melt away inside, made her smile despite all the worry that was beginning to cloud her mind, the distance that had begun to wrench at her heart. He didn’t want to loose her… not again, and she felt the same for him, though she knew, just by that gleam in her eyes… that no other pirate ship would be able to bring this captain down…. She swallowed, pulling his hands from her cheek, his fingers clasped softly between her own, drawn towards her lips as she let her own eyes fall shut, not yet uttering a words as she simply brushed a soft kiss against his knuckles, pale hair cascading over her shoulders delicately, licking at her chest as the soft locks danced over her body. What he didn’t know about her though, despite all his pride… was that she too was just as capable of her own protection, having created quite a reputation for herself over the years. Though she doubted that knowledge would change anything. They were both strong… but the care they held for one another would not let them rest on the idea that the other was out… as the enemy.. Scouring the sea. What if they were to face one another again? Would they be permitted to simply stop the battle? Just like this? It was only a matter of time before somebody spoke… upon Liam’s ship. A matter of time before word got out about this little… situation. Xander shook her head, not wanting to think about it as, again, she lowered Liam’s hand, holding it still within her own. And finally, she spoke, swallowing as she released a soft sigh. “Liam…” she said, voice practically a whisper. “I do not think that I need your worry… your protection… you mustn’t spend your time concerned for my safety… especially in a place such as yours.” She paused, swallowing. “You are a navy captain…. And I am a pirate… neither of us will change and so… we must not waste time trying to solve the unsolvable problem.” She winked playfully towards him, a feigned smile gracing her lips. “Anyway…” she said quietly, leaning a little further upon the desk. “I think that Bella Donna can take care of herself….” And she leaned forward, planting a gentle, friendly kiss upon his cheek.

River's hands went behind his head as he watched Gogo play with Evelyn. He as glad that she liked him and that Gogo had a new friend to play with. Forgetting all about his captain for only a minute River gave his attention to the girl before himself. Though his head seemed to grow a bit as the girl complimented him for getting Gogo. Who was enjoying th attention he was getting from Evelyn.
"Thanks he was a gift from my father when I was really young ever been friends ever since that day." River was sort of gloating showing his manly side to impress her with his pirate coolness. Blinking he glanced at her as she introduced herself so he too held out his hand, and took her own.
"And I be River Crossol, the pleasure of meeting he be all mine." River grinned as he gave a small bow to her kissing her hand. He has seen the other men do this plenty of times to female's even if he didn't know why they did it so River decided to try it out himself. Lifting himself bck up River looked back o check upon his captain just in time to see her kiss that navy captain on his cheek while sitting upon his desk. The anger returned as River glare at the man, without a word his took out his whip whirled it for a second and flung it making the sharp bladed part embed into the desk right in front of the two just to gain their attention.
"I think it best we leave captain for more navy men come around these parts." River's voice changed from how it always sounded to a dark cruel tone. His gaze not leaving the man that dare to woo his captain. Gogo blinked knowing just how River felt as the little monkey crawled down Evelyn's body and ran over to the captain. Jumping onto her leg and up to her shoulder and chattered angrily to Liam.

Liam blinked, twice infact, at Xander, then at her overzealous first mate. He sat back in his chair eyeing the whip carefully, then it's owner. Liam heard the dark cruel tone in his voice, and he had no doubt that the man had directed that at him. He wouldn't be surprised if River, 'That's his name isn't it?', directed that whip at Liam. His lips curved into a smooth smile, ignoring River's dark gaze and his chatty monkey. "Well my dear Xander, your young first mate is right. We're going to make port soon to escort a friend of mine. Navy men and women alike would love to get their hands on you." he said, taking his hand away from her's, brushing it slightly on her skin. "I hope we see each other on more better terms." Liam said quietly, bringing his hand back to himself. He sighed quietly, and looked back at the blade lodge in his desk. "I hope you have some money to repair the top of my desk sir." Liam frowned, taking the blade carefully from his desk. Liam stood up, still holding the blade in his hands. "I suggest you keep your temper to yourself. No one likes a hotheaded pirate." he said, smiling emptily at River. Liam dropped the blade to the floor, and walked from his desk and Xander to River himself. "And if you don't keep your feelings to yourself, I'll personally make sure you attend the next gallows meeting." he muttered just as dark and cruelly as River spoke to him. Liam nodded to himself, walking out of his office and past Evelyn.

the sea has mysterious ways......

jason awoke in his hammock, peacefully swinging with the ship. he pulled on a shirt and grabbed his halibird, walking out into the hall to head to the deck. he climbed quickly, hoping to have the deck to himself for once this month, his practices being interrupted every time. jason climbed up to the crows nest, jumped to the fore mast and walked around on the mast to get his balance, swinging long heavy things all day is bad for most people. after he was finished, jason picked up his weapon, pulled out some test dummys and started slashing.
((is the annie apple out to sea or in port?))

Before his blade hit the ground it pulled back into River's hand as a cruel smile crept onto his face as he wiped his blade as if Liam infected it himself.
"I not be paying you a dime I am pirate you know not be good for my captain's rep to repay navy scum like you. And we not being seeing you again, that I be sure. And what is more I don't have to listen to you old man I can act and feel however aye want our logic and laws means nothing to me. So burn in the deep bawls of hell's fire, Captain Annie Apple." River smirked as he insulted the other to the highest of his intelligence, which was rather high for a pirate.
"Captain let's leave the more be here the sicker become, oh yeah it was nice meeting you Evelyn." River smiled not showing much coldness as he did for the navy captain.

after cleaning all the fluff from the deck, jason put his halibird away and wandered around the ship. walking down each and every hall, coridor and place he had aces to. then jason walked back outside, up and down the masts, just out of boredom. he sat in the crows nest, fiddled with some of the stuff up there and found a compartment that was not being used at the moment.i should see if anything goes in here.
