tentacruelestThe cacophony of noise here is growing worse. Stow your bleating, lambs, or I'll cast yeh overboard to fill your jabbering mouths with seawater.
[Never mind that they're not even sailing over water at the moment. Jones can understand English, but is speaking in Scots Gaelic]
[Private to Sylvanas]
If yeh would oblige me a moment, m'lady..? I've something you might like to see.
[Private to Bush]
Yeh've been quiet, Warden. Plotting something?

Re: Private

Seeing as how I was both a legitimate sea captain as well as a pirate, I'll take your word as compliment to both sides of meself. So long as it's the sea captain who's the honorable one and the cowardly pirate the other.

Date: 2013-12-08 06:47 pm (UTC)You've played the devil but showed yourself the man here, Jones. Still courtly and still with a heart, even if it ain't behind your ribs.
Of course she didn't ask you for it, I've no thought she did. But it was for her you did it.

Private
Date: 2013-12-08 07:30 pm (UTC)Talking about his feelings, however, is never something he's been comfortable with, and the idea of having to do that threatens to throw him into a rage]
And you'll do that how, exactly?

Date: 2013-12-09 01:26 am (UTC)I can outlast yeh, William Bush.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:30 am (UTC)And I will continue saying that you are a scorned lover turned your scorn on everyone around you, and that despite it you would risk your life for a devoted friend.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:33 am (UTC)You will say it to no one or you'll feel just what my scorn can do to your beaten, broken body. She is not my friend. She is nothing.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:37 am (UTC)As you like, Jones. In another ten years I'll toast you to my fickleness, and then another ten after that.
And Calypso, just a sad chapter in your past, forgotten? You lie badly for a pirate.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:41 am (UTC)[At this, Jones grows cold and stressed, anxious and angry and flustered. When it's matters of ship and sail, he knows precisely where he stands. Love is another battlefield altogether.
He immediately leaps on the defensive; a definite departure from usual tactics]
She was not so degraded as to be a bit player in any man's book. You cannot - do not speak her name-! - she was...
She is not Sylvanas.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:43 am (UTC)I'm glad you recognize in her faults and virtues both, Sylvanas is not her. It'd be unfair to the lady if you didn't. To both of'm.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:46 am (UTC)Did yeh ever wonder why it was that you could control the sea as you do, Bush? Where on land you'd be slow-going and lumbering at grueling pace, on the open ocean you could cover twice the distance in half the time?
You have her t'thank for it. She's wild and untamable and I was a fool and I paid for my mistakes. Never again will I know joy or rage like that. I am heartless; I died heartless; I will forever be heartless. There is nothing you can do to alter that.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:51 am (UTC)That means something to you or you wouldn't be so angry now.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:53 am (UTC)And still my wretched heart beats. I hear it. I hate it.
When we next reach port, let me bury it again.
Re: Private
Date: 2013-12-09 01:57 am (UTC)I can't and won't stop the Admiral from bringing it back as suits him, though.

Date: 2013-12-09 02:06 am (UTC)And here I thought myself the terror of any ship.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 02:14 am (UTC)This ship is brimming over with terrors. You can't be the only one.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 02:15 am (UTC)I've just killed one. I'd say that makes me one of the biggest.
Private
Date: 2013-12-09 02:22 am (UTC)Nelson was a war hero; a sea captain as brave and clever as any you've ever met, and as an Admiral he thrashed Boney at Trafalgar. One of the finest the Navy's ever seen; there's few of his quality.
