"Aye! And it could've been a fair bit be'er, too!" Barbossa exclaims, cornering his eyes at the younger man for only a moment before his gaze returns to where it had been.

He looks back out at the now empty bit of ocean where had been an attacking ship—just prior to a giant tentacle crashing through its deck as though it were paper and dragging it down to the depths.

There's too much happening at once, it feels like her brain can barely comprehend it all. But she is herself again, for the first time in ages, she is human. So for a moment, it doesn't matter that she's on a strange beach that she doesn't recognize, and that she had been held on some ship. Hell, she'd love to stay in that fantasy for a while.

Suddenly, though, her head throbs. Something aches and she gets a glimpse into the life of another person. Someone else, here on the beach. Just as quickly as it happened, it's over, and she's staring at the stranger. (Well, they're a little closer than that, now.)

Haven stands in front of a refrigerator, deciding between vanilla and mocha. A weird, buzzy feeling comes over her when the bell above the door RINGS to announce the presence of another store patron. And no, it's not the caffeine.

She glances around conspiratorially to see if anyone else has the same gut feeling. Something's not quite right - surely she's not the ONLY one to notice.

"Is that so?"

The one whose life fades even now is no friend of his. Death has few friends, after all, and fewer still among the dying who oft hate him the most of all the deathless gods.

Of course, that the other can see him to know he stands there at all and thus he can reach such an erroneous assumption is confirmation enough that this is the one he has sought.

" No. " The answer was too quick, indicative someone hiding something. Ari spun to face the other, palms clasping around one of the bones that had been dancing in the air earlier.

" No, no. Uhhh... just trick of eye. Wind... in... branches? You okay? You look dizzy. " It likely didn't help that Ari was pushing through excuse after excuse after excuse. Just trying one on after another to hide behind. All ending up too sheer and obvious.
