*Ares looks around the room at all the happy people, and suddenly becomes very somber. She excuses herself to the wall, while thinking of some times past.*

*As Aeoess waits for Syn and the captain Eittik stares into her eyes, telepathically telling her about her "dancing partner" (Ares) and how she is down because of her past..just like she was..*
*Aeoess puts the drum down and walks to Ares*
"Whatever it is, it's in the past now. And like a wise..person once told me "You can't get the future you desire if you're stuck living in the past, you need to be in the present so you can works towards what you desire"..So cheer up, my temporary dance partner, you have better things to think of."
*Aeoess then begins to believe that she should follow her own advice but then she seems her drum, and Eittik sitting there, she walks back to the drum and drunkenly addresses the crew*
"I'll need one of your drunken arses to assist me, I don't think this'll sound too good without a fiddler! And when the fiddlers come, I want to see you all having a good time, if you have any regrets, forget 'em! The night is young, and so are we!"
*She drinks down some more rum and she begins to play in a fast yet melodic pace, hoping to hear a fiddle backing her up. Thinking of nothing but the adventures she may be embarking on, and the idea of starting a new.*

*Hearing his cue, Jack spun Miss Omi back to the siderail and gentley slipped his arm from behind her waist,
bowed slightly and smiled as he withdrew to the Mainhatch.
Taking his fiddle and solidly placing it under his chin, he chuckled and signalled to Miss Beaumont and Miss Aeoess. Biting down upon his bow, he reaches into his coat and pulls his sheet music from the inner pocket and tosses it to the deck. Firmly pressing his hessian styled boot upon the sheets, so as not to let them fly away... he tunes up the strings.*
"I'll accept the challenge... what shall it be?
Tuscan Tango? Sicilian Bael'ade? Romanian Riverdance?"
*Grasping the bow, he slid it across the fragile strings. Slow deep tones rose from the little wooden instrument. They flew quickly from the struggling low Bass, into a Baritone and quickly transformed into a Tenor and Alto, quickly followed by a fascinatingly high pitched Soprano. As soon as it had started, it fizzled and died back into itself... a low single noted Bass.*

*Hearing the captain's question Aeoess responds happily*
"Why not all three!!"
*Aeoess laughs loudly and keeps playing*

*she sat and thought to herself as the others started to dance again with the fiddles*
it would be easier to forget if it didn't come back to haunt me so often.
*she went up to the deck and walked to the bow, feeling the salt air in her hair. She started humming to herself, the sound of her true voice not heard often. She let it roam on its own, becoming its own identity. She sang out, into the empty sea air*

*Walks up behind Ares*
"Try not to get to carried away lass you don't anyhting bad to happen now."
*Puts a cigar in his mouth and lights it then offers her one as well*
"What's on yer mind it's been awhile since we've talked?"

*His bow now flying over the delicate strings like a bat out of hell, he scrapped the bow in a low arch and brought it back.
Suddenly, his ear picked up a sharp high toned pitch, a familiar sound that no other aboard the ship, aside from Mr. Ilor & Miss Midnight, had ever been allowed to hear before that night. His fiddle gave a lurch, as his strings snapped under the strength of the bow. The strings curled about themselves and fell into position about the neck of the violin.
Looking about, he couldn't find her.*
"I'm terribley sorry, folks.., but I have some pressing business to attend too. I'll be back shortly. Keep the music going, but after five bells, we're to stow away the party kegs and ready for sea. We sail with the tide."
*Tucking his fiddle under his arm, he ran the bow into his inner pocket and disappeared up the Mainhatch.
This was a matter of importance... and men's sanity.*

She had composed herself and dressed in tight fitting clothes from her chest. It was obvious her body shape had changed drastically since she had last been upon the decks of the Lady, but she consolled herself with the thought of buying new clothes at the next port. Rejoining the group she watched the happy dancers and drinkers and decided to partake in some merriment herself.

*Jaden, taken aback by the logic brought forth by the Doctor, she stood blankly before him. She didn't know whether to just turn and walk away from him or confront him for his brash behavior. Whatever the choice was that she about to make, her face flushed a violent shade of crimson whilest standing in front of him.
~*~
She hadn't thought about the first day she arrived on the boat in a while. The days had swept by so quickly that it seemed like an eternity since the battle and the day she snuck aboard the boat. She was just being coy with the very person who's items she had tried to steal. The same person who locked her in shackles upon finding her in his quarters, and the same man who looked at her so gently when she was forced by a lower crewmember to reclean the surgical deck after doing a quality job the first time. He was suprisingly calm towards her upon the small injustice she was receiving at that time. He could have simply turned a blind eye to it all, yet it was he who bent down to her and apologized for his rude behavior.
~*~
It was this last thought that snapped her back to the present moment -- Rude behavior. The fact that he was so blunt and to the point, as well as being intelligent made her look like a fool. He may, of course, been correct, but his attempt at tact was lacking in many respects. The alcohol she had drank at the dinner was surely going to her head as well and the intoxicating smells and music now of the late evening only intensified it. Perhaps it was because of all this that caused her to lack proper judgement, but she had originally wanted to ask for his forgiveness for what she had done in person (by trying to steal his liquor, and betraying his privacy to both his quarters and in the streets of Toulon when on their 'supply excursion') as well as ask for her ribbon back from him. Instead, she was being too cheeky and forgot the reason she had first decided to come up to speak with him.
She looked up to the Doctor and while still red in the face, she tried to express what she wanted to say and failed terribly. *
"Doctor... I... you're right." She said in an exasperated tone. "I should not have insulted your judgement nor the Captain's... I apologize for my poor behavior." she lowered her head and stared at the deck as a breeze tousled her auburn curls about her face. She started to back away, looking anywhere but at the Doctor when she spoke again.
"I'm sorry.... for everything...." she barely whispered it in his presence. She felt like such a fool at the moment and felt that she needed to get away because she wasn't thinking straight and her emotions were starting to get all tangled. As she walked away from him, only one other thing was whispered by her in his presence,
"I'm sorry...... Reginald."
*Jaden quickly walked away and stepped over beside Lady Melaria whom had just come back up above deck. Patting her cheeks, she put on her best and most convincing smile as she walked up beside her. She started to clap along with the music as she tapped her foot, for she had wanted to dance, but the recent interaction somewhat killed her mood to do so. She took a glance every once in a while at the Doctor whilest singing along with the tunes Miss Beaumont and Miss Aeoess were playing.
The look in her deep green eyes did not match the half-hearted smile on her face.*

Her eyes flying to the side momentarily as the Captain left, Syn merely shook her head and tapped her foot in time with the tune as she played. Who knew, perhaps a bit of luck would be on their side. A secret smile played on her lips but she kept on playing, keeping up perfectly with Ao's drum playing, unable to keep from doing a dance as she played. She caught sight of Jaden conversing with the Doctor and then walking over to Maleria to watch the festivities. Geez, didn't anyone dance nowadays? Her hair kept falling over her face but she didn't care, not requiring sight to be able to play so she just flipped it out whenever it actually got into her eye. Perhaps she needed a haircut.

Baxter's face perked up with a rather perplexed look at the young lady's reaction to his words. "Well, that was unespected," he mumbled to himself. He had figured that a person that was so brash and cocky would have been able to stand up to a little sarcasm, blunt as it were. He had expected a sharp reply and hopefully a good laugh from the whole ordeal. However, it seemed he only upset the girl. "Such unpredictable creatures women are."

She smiled as the woman who had accompanied her on the beach moved closer to her side, within touch. Seeing her shift her hair out of her eyes she really looked at her eyes, they seemed so deep, to hold so much and at the same time there was roughness that confronted people who looked directly at her.
"What do you think of the festivities? I would dance if I had a partner."

*Jaden looked over to Lady Melaria as she was asked of the festivities. She seemed a little distant, but she heard what she had said, clear as day.*
"I was quite enjoying the whole evening, actually. Your party was quite sublime and I thank you most kindly for having me as well as the crew." She nodded towards Lady Melaria. "However, I feel I may have partaken in a few too many drinks this evening, causing me to be a bit foolish..." She glanced at the Doctor still standing at the rail, the look about his face seemed incredibly perplexed. She was quiet for a moment, trying to figure out the look he was wearing upon his face before she spoke again.
"I too would be dancing had I a partner as well. I was somewhat hoping that I would get the chance this evening... I see that will not be the case." Jaden looked once more over towards the Doctor then quickly back to Lady Melaria.
"It is of little importance now... I believe... the moment has passed and I have made myself quite a fool this evening with the person I had wanted to..... It is quite a shame that while liquor may improve the opposite person's looks, it ruins their tongue."
She smiled at her as she dropped her head a bit, causing a few curls to fall before her face. Looking at Lady Melaria a moment, she thought a little before she spoke again.
"You know... why must we be denied a good jig?... If the men don't find us desirable enough to dance with right now..... Who says you and I still cannot dance?"
*The words slipped out of her mouth in quick little spurts, as if she were thinking between each little thought. She just wanted to have fun and sensed that Lady Melaria was feeling the same way. Purely to try to forget the embarassing situation she had just been in with the Doctor, she stretched out her hand to Lady Melaria and jokingly bowed before her like a gentleman. In an intoxicated laugh, she offered a dance to her*
"Lady Melaria, would you care to lead.... or shall I?"

*she jumped at the sound of Ilor's voice and covered her mouth quickly with her hand*
Terribly sorry, sir. Didn't mean fer anyone to be hearin' that...
*she refuses the cigar politely*
Nothin' really on me mind as of late, just the thoughts of the ol' crew. I mean, when the Lady first got her sails in the wind. All the people, I'm kinda missin', you know what I mean?
