Stories Upon the Sea

The slight flush to his cheeks showed that he'd been enjoying the party they'd thrown for the pirates that had helped save his country. Which was also the reason he'd forgone manners, slipping back into the persona he'd lived under for years and not caring if the question was rude or not. "To have such a nickname from your captain seems to be a bigger deal than one would think to me. Many who rule would not permit such titles to be used from their subordinates, let alone us it in return."

When the other started coughing Rose forgot her plans on keeping herself safe and almost darted to him, fearing he was choking. As he took the den-den from her she settled, almost laying on her stomach to hide the fact she had moved in concern. At the question she smiled brightly, flashing teeth in an almost predator move.

“Cuz it’s what I would do.” She sometimes traveled with people if the place she was going to was a far swim. Once she went overboard without anyone knowing she was merfolk and when they didn’t get her out in a timely manner she simply swam away. As he yelled at his crew Rose yawned softly and looked out over the water. The island was isolated and she knew nothing lived there other than some animals so they were alone until his crew got here.

Unflinching as she moved closer to him he laughed again at her response, this time managing to not choke on residual water in his lungs. Instead, he sighed and fell back, one leg propping up as he gazed up at the sky he almost hadn't seen again. "Serves them right for not paying attention. It's not like we were even in a battle or really bad storm."

Sighing he closed his eyes for a moment, not finishing with the comment that marines would have noticed if he'd gone overboard. No matter how hard he tried with his crew, he couldn't train them fully. They were still pirates, still wild and free in a way marines weren't.

Glancing over at where she now lay next to him he sighed. "Yeah, though I think it will take them a day or two. The storm pushed them a little further then I'd realized from this this location. That and they'll have to find the island......"

His gaze slowly slid from the bathhouse in front of them to the other supernova. There were many things he'd come to appreciate and enjoy in Wano, or at least the parts of Wano that appeared untouched by the harsh rule here. The.....bathing rituals were not one of them. "Remind me again why we have to go in and search the bathhouse when we could just wait for them to come out." And save him from the embarrassment of.....well everything.
