Re: Fer a Price [ Spritz ]

[Spritz]

Seeing that everything was taken care of, I walk over to Eve. "Feels great, dont it?" I ask, the wind blowing my black hair off of my face. I breath in the salty air, the scent making me sigh in delight.

[Guest]

Eve looked away for a moment, then turned her head to Jacob, just as the two kittens darted past, chasing two rats, not to mention each other. Eve smiled slightly and then replied to Jacob, "It's great. Makes me feel so.... alive."

[Spritz]

"I know. You cant feel like this anywere on earth, expet here." I say, gazing out at the endless ocean, seeing gleaming dolphins jump out of the water, seeing seabirds fly past after fish.

[Guest]

Eve smiled as they were finally away from the port, sailing freely. She sighed, her short red hair flying in the soft seabreeze. She smiled gently and turned her head in front of her, and looked dat the shipmates. "It's a wonderful place...." She sighed.

[Spritz]

I lean my back against the railing, crossing my arms over my strong chest. "So, were sailing for treasure, eh? I mean you. you are sailing for the treasure." I correct myself.

[Guest]

Eve chuckled slightly as he corrected himself, and placed a foot on the large steering wheel, steering the ship with her foot, as she reclined slightly. "I guess so. I don't know where we're going at the moment. Just sailing." Eve flashed him a smile, then asked, "I still don't understand why the deckmates were starin' at us earlier." Eve didn't bother glance at him.

[Spritz]

I close my eyes, tiredly. "Their just Idiots." I say, and peer over the ocean, the waves splashing on the side of the ship, and sending a mist of salt water over the boat. The deck is busy, with the shipmates scurrying back and forth, doing thier duties. I felt bad that I was shirking, and leave to help a small sailer adjust the sail.

[Guest]

Eve suddenly felt a bit lonely once Jacob left, and rolled her eyes. She wasn't going to let it bother her. Instead, she took in a deep breath of the salty air and began barking orders to sailors next to her, telling them to clean this, fix that, make sure this is working, don't touch that. Eve felt suddenly very small compared the big ship and its burly men, but Eve knew she'd have to tough it out. Silently, she hoped that maybe Jacob was interested in her, as she watched him work.

[Spritz]

I turn and see Eve watching me, and my blue eyes sparkle. I contunue to work, a bit hot because of the shirt I had to wear. Usually we could just go shirtless, because our captain was a male. Now, I wasent so sure about that. Soon, my shirt was soaked with sweat, as the hot afternoon sun blazed down on the ship. I wipe my sweaty forhead witht he back of my already wet sleeve.

[Guest]

When their eyes met, Eve immediately looked away, and began conversation with a sailor that had asked her where something went. She quickly directed him to where he was to put it, and watched all the sweaty workers, a tiny bit disguisted. Rolling her eyes, Eve eventually found the old first mate, and interviewed him at the wheel, then reappointed him and let him sail awhile while she went downstairs to her quarters.

[Spritz]

I watched eve go, and felt a bit dissapointed, not knowing when I would be able to talk to her again. After the work was done, and the ship was sailing smoothly, I head back down to my quarters, a bit bored.

[Guest]

Eve heard footsteps come down the hold a bit later, and she opened up her door a crack and looked out to see Jacob. She cleared her throat a bit and said, "Hey, Jacob." She smiled. "I wondered when I'd see ye again. Want to come in and talk for a while? Then I have to go back up and steer for a while."

[Spritz]

I smile. "Why not?" I say, and step inside the quarters. My blue eyes twinkled as I saw the two kittens, and I pick them up, handing the tabby to Eve.

(Sorry so short)

[Guest]

Eve smiled and took the tiny tabby kitten in her arms and sat down on her bed, crossing her legs gently. "First, how are the sailors upstairs? Are they all getting along or dp I need to go up there and break up a sissy-fight again?" Eve looked up from the kitten for a moment, only to have her finger bitten gently. She tapped the kitten on the nose and chuckled slightly.

[Spritz]

I smile. "No, thier ok. Its just part of sailing, close quarters. Someone is bound to get annoyed, you know." I think about the small fights that would break out sometimes, just to get broken up by me. I never could really watch a fight, I would always roll my eyes then pull the two idiots apart. Sometimes, they would punch me in return. The black kitten scrabbles up my shirt, and starts to lick my ear.

[Guest]

Eve smiled, satisfied. "Good." She looked quietly at the black kitten, who was obviously less fiesty than the tabby. "Well, I thought maybe.....Maybe we could get to know each other..." Eve smiled sheepishly.

[Spritz]

I raise an eyebrow and smile. "Alright, my name is Jacob, I am 20, and..." I joke, and pet the small black kitten on my shoulder. He starts to pur, then leaps off of my shoulder as he spies a small mouse.

[Guest]

Eve laughed slightly and then watched the tabby get free and jump from her shoulder, nearly tackling the black kitten as she landed on the floor. Eve rolled her eyes and reclined on the bed, pointing to a chair he could sit down in. "Like where do you come from, and when did you become a pirate?"

[Spritz]

"I dont remember really. I was on this ship since I was a boy. The captain was my father." I say, thinking about him. "But dont feel bad. I didnt like him anyway." I say, though a small pang of loss filled me. He had been the last of my family alive.

[Guest]

Eve gasped slightly and put a hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry... I didn't know....." Eve hadn't ever felt bad about killing a captain before, but now guilt was tearing at her. Eve stared for a moment slightly beforing moving on. "Sorry...." she muttered again, staring at the floor. "Who was your mother?"

[Spritz]

I shrugged. "I dont know. I think that my father took me away from her and left her, to sail and raise me to be a pirate. I wish I could of met her though, or seen a picture or something."

[Guest]

Eve smiled lopsidedly. "I don't know either of my parents." Eve frowned, then motioned towards the bigger half of the room. "I assume that this used to be your father's quarters. You can look around for pictures. None of my personal belongings are in here." Eve smiled and shrugged, wondering if she had seen any photographs around the quarters anytime.

[Spritz]

"Thanks, but I already looked. It seems like he extinguished any memory of her, I dont know why." I say, and sit down in the chair. I look around the small room, seeing the towering bookshelves, the maps hanging on the wall, the small lamp placed on the cherry wood desk.

[Guest]

Eve sighed and shrugged. "I don't know how I can help you, then." Suddenly she felt very awkward. She shuffled her feet, no longer wanting to be alone with him, and separated from him. Eve's body tingled slightly, but she downplayed the curious feelings and instead looked up at him, "So you've been a pirate your entire life, yet you no longer wish to be one?" Eve somehow wished he would just shut her up and kiss her, but instead she rolled her eyes subconsciencely.

[Spritz]

"Yep.." I say, then a sudden urge comes over me. I wanted to hold her, to tell her how much I wanted her, but I held myself back, knowing how she would react to something like that.Unconciously, I move a bit closer to her, and my hand brushes against hers.
