PIRATE QUEEN

     He doesn’t try to hide the roll of his eyes as he shakes his head. “Now you sound like my brother.” There’s a glimpse of a grin, he knows she’s teasing. “And you know, if you had so little faith, you could help?”

                                                   “ is that a CHALLENGE ?”

never had flynn fairwind met a challenge he hadn’t considered—whether or not he’s RISEN TO IT has always depended on his sobriety & how DETRIMENTAL the terms - in this case , he’s not certain the DANGERS , & INTRIGUE begins to color the scenario – how can one come to a place like BORALUS & not endeavor to get spectacularly smashed ? kul’tirans’ are a HARDY BREED , & her SKEPTICISM might soon meet its MATCH among the pirates .         & if not , so long as she’s accepting , he’ll keep the drinks flowing until it DOES .

                         “ I have no intent of leaving this place until i see two of you. ”

loaded new employers recently paid an ABSURD amount for a couple’a ROCKS picked up from some nearby ait — & all he had to do was guide the ship .

                                    “ maybe ONE OF ‘EM will tell me your story. ”

there’s a POINTED look , then - half-hidden behind stein as his drink is lifted for a long , frothy pull . he at least has the decency to swipe a sleeve across his mouth afterwards ;

                                            “ so ? what brings you to town ?”

❝ it just might be! ❞ the grin that she gives is cocky ; she’s clearly confident in her abilities to win this small challenge of theirs. the few hundred years she’s lived through have provided her with more than enough drinking competitions. she’s won some, she’s lost some, and she’s built up more than your average alcohol tolerance.

❝ i suppose i might just need to keep you company then. well, at least until you’re seeing multiple of my lovely face. ❞

a sip of her drink, gaze drifting off her companion to instead look around the bar. it’s not exactly an unwelcome line of questioning, but it’s not one she expected so soon. then again ---- a new ship appearing at the docks, with a mismatched crew and a somewhat mysterious captain ---- she knew the questions would come at some point. a sigh, fingers running through unruly curls, before her attention is drawn once more towards the man at her side.

“Well I do understand your hesitance to believe me. For most people, believing is seeing.”

  ‘  well, if he’s the one in town, why go look for someone else?  why, did something happen? ’
