Cylver's smile grew smaller and he put his hands in his pockets. Ouch...I just ask her a simple question and she shoots me down. But then again, I never was her favorite. He thought to himself, remembering all the times he was basically scolded for trying to make a joke out of something serious. That was how Cylver loved life. He might as well live it through to the end with a smile, no matter how grim. He did feel a slight bit of anger towards Willow for not liking his calm and crazy demeanor. "If you must know, I wasn't going for something along those lines. I just asked a question..." He said to himself as he kept his distance from the captain. It wasn't easy living with this kind of captain.

                                          Up on the foredeck, a young woman stood behind the railings, her eyes closed tightly in a meditated trance. She stood facing the wind, letting it toss her long honey blonde hair in a tumbling mess behind her. Like most of the male crew, she wore a simple white shirt and black breeches, which billowed in the wind and hugged her slim figure. She was long used to the early morning routines of the ship by now, and enjoyed getting up early to watch the sunrise and catch a few moments of dawn's peaceful silence. As the sun slowly climbed above the horizon, its warm rays bathed her in a bath of gold. Feeling the sunlight hit her eyelids, she drew a long, deep breath and exhaled, and slowly opened her eyes. They were bloodshot, sign that she had little sleep the night before, and upon careful examination one could see that there were traces of weariness on her face. Blinking rapidly to let her eyes adjust, she reached out with her arms and stretched.
                                          Slowly, she sauntered back toward the stern of the ship, and as she did, noticed that more of the crew were getting up and beginning to come up from where quarters below deck. The air can get quite stale down below from so many people's breathing, the fresh sea breeze would do them good. Up ahead, she could see three members of the crew playing, and smiled briefly as she watched them banter back and forth. Soon, the doors to the captain's cabin opened as well, and the young female captain strode out. She held something in her hand, which glinted brightly when it caught the morning sun.
                                          "Mornin' Cap'n."
                                          She greeted with a smile, then turned to each of the three standing around her.
                                          "G'morning, Cylver, Tessa, Daniel."

When the captain approached Daniel she raised a eyebrow at him. It was obvious the captain was sweet on him, which made her nauseous. If he was sweet on her she would never speak to him again.
"Good morning Rose! Excuse us Captain." She said coldly wrapping her arm around Cylver's shoulder and leading him to the other side of the ship. "Don't worry about her!" She said smiling. "It's not her fault she's like that, see when they make you a captain they stick a cork up your a** which makes you act like that." She smirked and held Sam up above her head. "She's sweet on Daniel eh?" She laughed mockingly. Then quickly shoving that topic out of her mind she looked Cylver up and down. "Next time we're ashore we've go to buy you a proper dress darling. Also maybe if you ask Rose with a pretty please she'll give you some lady lessons."

((I hope it's alright I led him away, if not I'll edit my post.))

Ship's Gunner - Daniel Walker

Raising an eyebrow at the dagger, but taking a look at it when asked, Daniel frowned for a few moments before speaking. "Indeed...I recognise them Captain...My father showed me some old books and scrolls when I was younger...I can't remember exactly...But give me a few hours and I could tell you more..." He told his boss, knowing he had seen the code somewhere, but couldn't place it. He was just a gunner after all, not a scholar. Turning to Rose he smiled at her. "Morning Rose, enjoying the view as usual eh?" He greeted in a lighthearted way, despite the captain being right next to him.

textWillow really wasnt in the mood for chanting out orders, or expressing her anger this morning. She had had a rough night last night. Her condition seemed to be getting worse. Willow reached into her pocket, and pulled out a hankerchief and coughed hard into it. She was so young and fragile, yet so tough and mature. She had to be. The last captain of this ship gave her his title for a reason. She wasn't about to let it go that easily. She wanted to make him proud.

Willow looked to Daniel and smiled, then to rose. Rose was also a valued member of this crew. She was a well trained medic. If it wasnt for Rose, Willow would probably be in hell by now. "Good morning Miss Evans." Willow turned her attention back to Daniel. "Then you shall hold on to it for me, and decode it whenever you get the chance." She spoke strongly, trusting the valuble piece to be left in his possesion.

                                          Rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, she smiled tiredly as Tessa stalked off with Cylver. They were always at odds with one person or another, she thought to herself with a slight hint of amusement. No one dared to be publicly disrespectful when the captain was present, but down below in the crew's quarters, they often brawled like cats and dogs, the resulting injuries she often had to fix. But despite that, a crew was a crew, and fights were forgotten just as quickly as they started, and by the end of the day, they still sat down together to eat and drink and play. She wouldn't admit to them openly, but she quite liked the bawdy crew.
                                          Turning her attention to Daniel, who seemed to be inspecting something the captain had handed him, she mustered a bright smile despite the fatigue.
                                          "The sunrise over the sea is not something to miss."
                                          She replied amiably. Seeing the captain cough, a small frown furrowed her brows and her lips pressed ever so slightly tighter together. She didn't look well. Not worse, thanks to the intensive care she took to the young woman's health, but neither was she getting better, and her strange condition had proven a perplexing puzzle she could not crack. She had crates upon crates of medical books and scrolls back in her cabin which she had combed, yet nothing matched her condition. It was beginning to become a growing source of headache for the female surgeon as her resources were slowly becoming exhausted.

Cylver looked up at Tessa and shook his head. "Not unless you want to see yourself tied to mast in it." He told her, his smile not growing bigger. He then turned to the side and stared out at the sea. He was wondering why Captain Willow didn't like how he was so optimistic. "Plus, I don't want to be a gentlemen...that's one of the main reasons I decided to go through with piracy. It gives me adventure, practically free roam of the ocean...and it gave me something I always wanted. Freedom." He said as he closed his eyes. He still gripped his sword, the only thing he brought with him from his homeland. Why is Willow like that when I'm trying to make light of a situation? I help out every time I can, and I still get the same lecture every time. His smile soon faded as he started walking back, seeing Rose there. He didn't smile as much as he usually did as he waved to her. Everyone else loved his jokes and his attitude. Why didn't the captain?

Tessa nodded agreeing with everything he said, even though she wasn't quite sure as to what he was saying. I was talking about him being a lady not a gentleman. She smiled her happiest smile at him and watched as he walked back toward the others. "Now Sam." She said looking sternly at the young kitten. "People have been making fun of me, and it's your fault. I know yer small for yer age. But you're still a bit bigger than the rats!" She sighed as Sam looked at her in the eyes and let out a small mew."Oh what the hell." She muttered. "We'll just tell everyone you learned how to hunt one of these days, and I'll keep catching your food." She bent down and watched as Sam began to pounce on small bugs. "That!" She screamed. "That's what you gotta do to the damn rats!" She let out a laugh then walked over to the group.

textThe young captain looked to the sunrise that Rose had mentioned. She had completely forgotten about the beauty of simple things. She was always so busy, or in her quaters ill. Willow looked to rose, and noticed her frustrated and worried expression. Willow sighed sweetly to Rose, her lips curving to a reassureing smile. Willow turned her back to the crew, and crossed her arms behind her.

"I think we shall dock at the next port... Which is... Davenport Cove." Willow smirked. Davenport Cove was always Willow's favorite place to visit. It was wild, crazy, full of pirates. Obviously a lot of fun. Willow would visit often when she was first mate. Her and the captain would bar hop most of the night. Even though she didn't act like it, Willow could be a lot of fun. An outgoing, and fun drunk who could dance as beautifully as the gypsys that worked in the bars there. She had not been to Daventport with her crew yet. She wondered what they would think when they saw her acting like that. "We need... Supplies from there..." She lied, chuckleing quietly.

Busy inspecting the blade and the strange code etched into the cold metal, Daniel looked up at the mention of going to Davenport Cove. "Davenport eh? Well if I can't find anything on the blade onboard, there's bound to be something there that can explain it..." He spoke with a smirk, looking out to the sun as it was rising above the ocean. Besides, there was good whiskey at the pirate hub, and maybe he might even get his hands on one of those new musket rifles that the Navy had been issued with

                                          Catching Willow's smile, she answered her reassurance with an almost imperceptible nod.
                                          Davenport Cove...
                                          She perked up a little at the captain's announcement. Famous for its many taverns, it was a popular gathering place for many pirates, and also a rich source of information on just about every ship at sea. It was almost like a news hub, as pirates gathered around fires and exchanged any news at sea as well as strange tales and encounters. If she wanted to track down a ship or person missing at sea, that was probably the best place to be. Consoled by their new heading, she felt a brief spark of excitement within her, and the taunt, weary look on her face eased somewhat.
                                          Besides, she told herself, they had been at sea for a long time now, she could use some more medical supplies, she decided as she looked around at the crew and rolled her eyes.

Cylver was very surprised to hear where they were going. "Davenport?" He asked, wondering if he heard her right. He knew that place well. His older brother lived in that town and he knew whatever the navy got, he would have another. A good trip to see my older brother seems like fun. He thought to himself as he started to climb the rigging, getting a better view. "Everyone, tonight, the drinks will be on me...We're going to see my older brother, who happens to own a good bar at that place. Oh, and Daniel, you'll love what he has in stores." Cylver told Daniel. He knew the place well, for he visited once in a while before he became a pirate. He then started to swing on a rope, landing softly on the deck. His smile was back on and he waited patiently for his orders on getting them ready for sailing.

textWillow turned back to her crew. "I suppose we can arrive there by tommorow night. If we all stayed focussed." She smiled. Willow was excited, perhaps more than her crew. It had been a couple of years since she was last at Davenport. The last time she had been there, she was 18. Willow laughed quietly at the memory. "The waters are calm this morning... Maybe a little too calm." Willow looked to Daniel. "You should probably stay on your toes, Mr Walker." Willow looked to Cylver and smiled. "My captain knew your brother quite well Mr Firestorm. Ive been to his tavern before. Its a very charming place." Willows change of mood was quick, and unexpected. She was just really excited to dock at Davenport.

Raising an eyebrow at her talking about the calm seas, Daniel could only nod and move towards where he saw the ship's surgeon going. "Hey Rose...You okay over here?" He asked as he walked towards her, offering her a small smile. "You said I could get these damnable bandages off today right? Just to check to see how well my burns and cuts have healed up" The Gunner questioned boredly, raising his arms and letting his jacket sleeves drop, exposing his bandaged forearms.

Dovasary "Dove" Hawke

It was not hard to overhear the rest of the crew from bellow deck, where Dove had spent most of her morning making a stew. Most people believed that being a ship's cook was a relatively easy job, and Dove had anticipated that at first as well. She was wrong; she had to keep the ship stocked, cook the meals, catch the rats, clean, look after the well-being of the crew, do odd jobs, sew, keep the food in good condition, the list when on and on.

The old Navy sailor shook her head. Even the manners on this ship were lax at the best of times. But Dove couldn't help but smile about thinking about her time on the ship; it was probably the most fun she'd had in ages. At least this life was a lot better than the life of a sniper on a Navy vessel, for sure. She was pulled from her thoughts by the mention of the name "Davenport" and she instantly sprung up the steps from the ship's hold to the main deck, where the rest of the crew had congregated.

"Ah, very good. That means one of you will have to help me re-stock the ship's supplies. There seems to be a mysterious shortage of rum..." Dove eyed the crew with an amused gaze. She turned to the captain, and clicked her heels together in a brief salute. Force of habit. "Captain, permission to have access to the ship's funds to purchase some needed items?"

~OOC: Sorry, changed Dove's picture from what it is in the description. I can send the new one if needed.~
