โ I can't call you first mate in front of Veteran crew members, that's just demoralizing ! Your job will just be what everyone else does, when something comes up, you lend a hand. Simple !
With muscle like that though, you should be prepared to throw anchor. ~ โ
Arms became light almost instantly as she took the workload away from him, showing no implication of being affected at all by the weight.
โ It does sound a bit strange coming from youโ
and please not so loud! โ
Leaning in, lips withheld from sight of the others.
โ
Taking the crates before he had time to respond, effortlessly carrying the weight.
โYour wish is my command โ isnโt that what a First Mate should act like?
You havenโt told me what a First Mateโs responsibilities are, yet.โ
More comedic than he could ever expect, his eyes wandered following the red wrapping around her hand.
He'd take lead, gravel beneath their feet turning to the sound of wooden planks when they'd arrive to the docks.
A small group of workers greeted Brant with
โ
honorific glee, him returning the favor in kind by joining alongside and lifting a few medium sized crates himself to throw aboard the vessel.
โ Well don't just stand there ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฉ๐.
You're one of the crew now, you'll have to dirty those dry cleaned garments. โ
โ
โ We have a port delivery scheduled on an island not far from here. You're welcome to accompany the voyage.
Alas, the main vessel will remain here. But ive used this ship a handful of times that the experience shouldn't be too different. โ
โ Living carefree is the exact reason I had doubt.
Traditionally button up suits fail to have their sea legs.
If you're truly willing to disprove me, I'll be nothing but excited .โ
Cape flickering in the breeze of the coastal city,
the captain turned heel with a few steps.
โ
โIโm more offended youโre unsure whether I can handle a bit of sea anger, captain.โ
Deep red gaze pierced the pirate, feigning a scolding tone at the last word. Turning into a sigh. "You wound me, Brant."
The rippling waves โ sheโd leave those up to him. A couple of hostile &.
Avoiding her statement entirely,
ready to move on it had finally dawned what was said.
โ Wait, you're serious ?
Fair warning, the rippling waves aren't for everyone.
Are you sure you're up to the treacherous task ? โ
โ In no offense to you, Yes, I would be upset
at a few holes in my hat.
It's one of a kind after all.
And perhaps someday, you'll have one just as unique. โ
His lips tighten back into a smile,
swiping the hat back to it's rightful owner.
โ
"Take me to sea, then. I must learn.
Part of work."
Not at all. She just wants to spend her limited time off work away from the city. And who makes better company other than the Fool himself?
His head suddenly filled with emptiness, a breeze where one hadn't been present before pulled his eyes towards the silver haired woman.
โ Correction, they don't say ahoy until they're out at sea.
But you'll learn in due time . โ
Grabbing the brim, he adjusts it.
โ
Snatching @FestiveTides' hat off his head, carefully placing it over hers - worry not, the horns mean no harm. Only a few scratches on the cloth.
"Hmm... What is it that pirates usually say? To the sea, ahoy?"
@scriptedseer ||
I would take a character with a less overdesign than a character with bland milk toast writing. Im so tired of powerful god characters give us just a guy for a change.
โ Of course not โ I meant to say expected ! โ
It did make him wonder though .
Hand curling around her arm, and using his hand to measure his own . The tiniest bit of space between his own arm and the measuring tool.
โ You've got me beat ! โ
โYou were anticipating?โ
She teased, the woman leaning back onto the chair. This time, her hold around him loose, welcoming.
โIโll take it as a compliment โ I think. Product of apprehending jokes of criminals. And troublemakers like you.โ
Staring, awaiting his reaction.
Chortling to himself, he gestured his hat back at the other as well.
โ We're two feathers of two separate birds that may only share the same species. โ
โ Some really enjoy overselling their narratives,
and that's where we differ. You're writing elaborate novels, and I simply tell a simple tale of adventure !
Thinking about all of these twists and turns hurts my brain, id rather partake and enjoy the ride. โ
โ
this was not his scene . โ that is the difference , i observe fates at work . โ and everyone will walk their destined path . โ to observe natural events i must be in attendance , do you not agree , grand performer ?~ โ
