[A night swim sounds great. Guess who else wanted to get away from the party?

Keimi sits on the shore, her tail tucked into her chest, her eyes captivated by the stars.]

[om_nom_namur]

[Aw, c'mon. How the hell is he supposed to leave a cute little mermaid to sit all alone when there's a party going on just above?]

Well, well. Look what the tide brought in. Sheheheh! How y' been, sweetheart?

[Namur walks up out of the waves and sits on a rock next to her.]

[seakingbait]

[Oh, it's that fishman that saw her naked. Keimi smiles and gives a little wave.]

I've been good. I just needed a little break. How are you?

[om_nom_namur]

[Hey, that seeing people naked thing went both ways.]

[Not that Namur feels he has anything to hide, but still. He blushed, at the time.]

Oh, same ol', same ol'. Keepin' tabs on a couple a Navy boys other side a the cliffs there. Bunch a boats is gonna try trappin' us when we try t' leave. Sheheheh! Dumbasses.

[seakingbait]

A trap? That's not good.

[And she was enjoying the night so much too.]

What are we going to do about it?

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur nods his head to the side, his shoulders shrugging a little.]

Poke holes in the hull, chew up a few rudders... can't do anythin' too drastic or we'll let 'em know we're on t' 'em. Whatcha think, sweetheart? Wanna come 'long?

[seakingbait]

Oh! Um...

[Be brave, Keimi. You're a pirate, remember?]

I can't let my crew fall into a trap.

[om_nom_namur]

[He punches her arm in a friendly way.]

Damn right y' can't. Sheheheh! Lemme see... We got some crowbars an' shit on the ship. Let's go get y' one then we'll swim over an' say hi t' the keels a their ships. C'mon!

[He stands and offers her a hand up. He's not sure how strong her fins are yet but if she can't walk he'll carry her out into the waves.]

[seakingbait]

[Ow. Keimi rubs her arm, before taking Namur's hand and rising up to her tail.]

Lead the way.

[om_nom_namur]

[And he does. They quickly acquire one (1) crowbar from the Moon then swim out of the inlet beneath dark, rolling waves. There is indeed a bit of a cliff and, skirting around that, a couple of Navy ships clearly prepped and ready to sail. Namur swims up to the keel and wedges the flat end of the crowbar into a joint, then motions for Keimi to take the curved end sticking out.]

I'mma bit this thing here, an' when the wood starts splittin', push down on that thing with all y' got, a'ight?

[seakingbait]

[She nods, silently. She still wasn't sure what she was doing, or what kind of impact it would have. Still, if she could bring down an entire ship, that would help the crew immensely. She swims over to the bar, grasping it tightly with both hands.]

R-ready when you are.
