Into the storm

Style: as you please
Status: closed to "who"

[As soon as the sun did not rise on the 1st, like others had suggested it would, Gan Ning wanted off Isla Empieza. He put out the call to his crew - get on the ship, leave no man behind. Or woman, Cynthia.

The storm hit while they were two days out from the island. It would take all hands on deck to keep the Nightfury from capsizing, good thing they have a couple of solid dragons to keep things in check. Just watch out for Gaius and his fiery pendant! By the time the storm blows out in the wee hours on the 4th, the charts put them drifting near to Eternal Bliss. Are the residents still pissed at pirates for what Kodachi did? Who cares, they need to land to make repairs. And maybe score some treasure, if anyone wants to go through the marriage requirement.

Excuse me? I never said I didn't want to come back. I just needed time away. There's a difference.

And I'm not "sweet on him"!

[youhearthebells]

Yah-huh. [still grinning] So you don't mind if I tell him about that time you kissed me.

[anelegantmyth]

That time NEVER happened okay? Besides, why would you want to tell him anyway? What would you gain from that?

[in short, don't you dare]

[youhearthebells]

[yeah, uh huh, he thought so. Grinning and playing dumb]

Nothin', nothin'! Just, yanno. Guys hang out, they talk...

[anelegantmyth]

...fine, tell him. That kiss meant nothing to me anyway. Besides, if you start talking about that, wouldn't the boys start questioning if you were into me?

Which I doubt you are.

[youhearthebells]

[He just laughs, because this is a game he knows well.]

And what if I was, huh?

[anelegantmyth]

[In her head, there's was a really REALLY loud screech. Like a car coming to a sudden stop.]

You...what? No you don't. You don't!

[youhearthebells]

[tosses his head back for a really noisy laugh]

I told ya! I'm the love-'em-and-leave-'em type, what do you think?

[anelegantmyth]

I think I'm going to kill you.

[youhearthebells]

Sure you will.

[he takes a step closer, though, not worried in the least.]

Glad you're back, really. Kinda wish the ol' ghost would stop jerkin' you around, you deserve better.

[anelegantmyth]

Thanks Kitty, That means a lot to me.

[But that felt weird. He was never this openly nice to her. So what, was he expecting a hug from her or something? He was being nice for a reason, and she could not for the life of her understand what it was.

Unless...]

...you lost the bell, didn't you.

[youhearthebells]

Huh? No, what? No! I said I didn't, and I didn't. Bell's got nothin' to do with anythin'.

[anelegantmyth]

Well you're being a little too nice. Who are you and what did you do to my Kitty?

[youhearthebells]

Hey, I can be not-a-jerk if I wanna.

[he can call you woman, would that help?]

[anelegantmyth]

Mhmm.

[It would. But don't anyway. Being called "woman" was only cute when she was the only one on the ship. Now it just reminds her of that book about the jungle man raised by monkeys.]

I missed you too, Kitty.
