@RenegadesTrick - in fact, appreciation at how easy you were on the eye!* If you lost I got your ship and crew. If you won, you got your crew's respect and I got a better Captain to bosun under. Seems like a win-win to me.
*I glared at the fat bastard across from me, leaning back in his chair behind his large ornate teak desk. The pompous ass was just removing a napkin from his throat where he had tucked it in like a bib. The remains of his meal was scattered on his plate. He - @RenegadesTrick
@RenegadesTrick *I watched you finish up and then wrap a clean cloth around my arm.* That's a fine job. As good as any sailor. And you're right, I didn't have to do that for you, except it was necessary to my darker intentions! *I grinned widely at you, my eyes sparkling with humor and -
@RenegadesTrick - sailor is put too right behind cleaning that is. *I gave you a big smirk.* So seriously being female should make you even better at such tasks given your fingers are smaller and used to delicate chores!
@RenegadesTrick Lady, once you get to know me you will find that I am always ready. And by the way, you are doing a very poor job of convincing me that you are useless at this kind of thing. If you've grown up on a ship then you know how to sew. Mending sail is one of the first tasks a young-
@RenegadesTrick -might use more. I'd brought my drink with me and set some aside for you to dip the needle and thread into. I always found that rum made a good cleaner, helpful with the healing. Grinning, I looked up at you.* Should I bite down on a stick or are you quick at this kind of thing?
@RenegadesTrick -I rolled up my sleeve well past the elbow and set my arm down on the vanity next to a washbasin and waterjug. This would give you easy access to the wound. Judging from the size of it, you would need at least six well placed stitches if you were a poor sewer. Someone more neat -
@RenegadesTrick -the slackers, the miscreants, and the cowards. Then it's up to you what you do with them. Myself I'd dump them for sale or hire. Then I'd find better.
@RenegadesTrick *I took a deep swig and held out the glass for more.* Yeah, you will. And I won't be needing any fancy bows or stuff. Just get the thing closed up. Then we can get down to the real business at hand. You came here for a reliable crew. Well it will take me about a day to weed out-
@RenegadesTrick -even though a captain, I figure you can sew, right? And the deal was that I'm the new bosun, so I'll be needing a better set of clothing as befits my station and rank!
@RenegadesTrick *Unceremoniously I dropped the bags as you indicated and joined you at the table. Before I drank I used some of the fiery liquid to douse the cut on forearm. Pushing that forward I grinned at you.* I expect you to stitch that and bandage it. It's the least you can do. As a woman-
@RenegadesTrick One might say the same about you, /Captain/. * I continued to follow you below decks.* But now you've got a crew more willing to stand beside you. Those men only respect power and you can't rest on your laurels. Your reputation is only as good as the next test! Where do you want-
