Jack eyed some of the men sternly with his coal black eyes but the scallywag was amused himself. At the prissy, yet headstrong Sibylla looking so adorably harassed he grinned at her "What do you expect Miss? This isn't a royal ball it's a pirate ship, though I apologize for any minor inconveniences" his grin widened "Or not so minor ones".

"I'm sorry Monsieur Jack. It's just that-" She frowns trying to find the words,"I'm not used to male eyes." She turned to the crew who hungrily eyed her again. She just smiled and walked to another part of the deck.

Elizabeth chuckled at Sibylla's assertion. She had been taught French by her governesses and insulting others in French was one of her favorite pastimes. "Parfois il aide si vous paraissez plus similaire à un homme. "* Elizabeth said, knowingly. True, most of the men aboard knew she was in reality a woman, but if she shoved her hair in her hat, only Jack would know, and even that wasn't guaranteed. Her heart belonged to Will and she wouldn't have another man tempting her.
*Sometimes it helps if you look more similar to a man.

Jack, pirate though he was had been halfway around the globe, (and to some places not even on the map) though he made no attempt to speak french himself, unless it was absouloutly nesscary he grinned. "Wouldn't want to look too, similar though love, or else Will would drop ye in ten seconds flat" he said with a teasing grin.
Will was straighter and more boring than a plank of wood, the same thing could not be said about Jack though few knew it.

Bow, One of the men came up and looked at Bow's swords, " They are cheap lil things arn't they?" Bow smirked and looked at the man, " Wouldn't know, the man was dead when I took them from him. " The crew man laughed, " What yah need two swords fer, case one breaks?" Bow maintained the smirk, he knew this dance, and danced it well, " No, I use them both when I fight, care for a friendly demonstration?" The man couldn't help but be curious, he had seen people duel wield before sure but wondered if this kid was just pulling his leg. The man agreed and the two went to a cleared area of the deck. The man looked at the boy, " What are the terms?" Then Bow said, " To the first person to disarm, at least one sword." He said as he stood both swords in a battle stance, the man laughed then accepted. The battle started and Bow watched the man move and while fighting was just going on defensive until he saw a weak grip, in other words, a point when the man was fighting where the grip on his sword was weakened; typically in mid swings. Bow had some fancy footwork for a kid, almost as if he would take the basic footwork then tried to make it as dance like as possible, this made even his defensive blocks look streamlined and fluent. When bow noticed the man's weak grip, at the moment he went from swinging to a jab for a few moments between those the man's hand was only half on the grip. Bow danced around blocking and basically playing with the man until he went from a slice to a jab, then Bow suddenly shoved forward and brought his swords up like scissors and easily disarmed the man. Then Bow tossed his right hand sword to his left and caught the man's sword by the hilt, and smiled all proud of himself; if only he had a tail he would be wagging it. The man seemed impressed, then Bow gave him back his sword, " You did great, but watch your grip when you go from a slice to a poke." The man laughed and took his sword back, he didn't feel assamed at loosing to the pup, considering the kid was of a decent age for swords play, and he knew when the boy would get older he would grow out of it and stick to a simple slice poke. ooc: Was that saying Jack is bi? So Bow does have a chance! WOOT! lol, though I am not postivily sure if Bow is Bi, possiable though ))

(Yes, it's a nice thing to be for his shady line of work but no one can really tell sense he's almost always drunk).
Jack sighed as we watched the gents bash eachother about, he wasn't suprised when Bow eon either, the crew was full of older men Jack and Bow were two of the youngest aboard. He was impressed but he wouldn't show it or give praise. Bow needed to learn that brains were more important than brawn.
But what was a good way to teach him? He thought as he whittled his eyes never leaving the peice of wood which was slowly turning into a model of the black pearl herself. He let thebreeze run through his tangled black hair and smiled, the sea was his mother and the pearl was his girl he loved it more than he had ever loved another human being.

"Will would not 'drop me!'" she murmured defensively, she was sure of that, but would she do the same?
She hadn't known he spoke French. There was just no keeping secrets from him. A few feet away a pair of men began to fight. Elizabeth rolled her eyes. Fight was all men ever did. Well Will really didn't and Jack was more of "talk his way out of anything" sort of person. But the rest of them. Ugh. She watched Jack at his work, whittling a tiny model of the Black Pearl. It was rather good.

Bow,
He glanced around and saw Liz and Jack had been watching. He felt a little disappointed when Jack didn't seem to care. Kind of like he hit a home run in a game of baseball and his dad was asleep sort of disappointed. He didn't really know what to say to Jack, he sort of hoped the demonstration would spark another conversation, above anything he wanted approval from his idol. He figured Jack could out fight him any day, he looked at Jack's sword and figured he must have some sort of voodoo spell on it that made all other metals melt upon striking, he had heard a story about a sword like that and figured he would seek out the voodoo witch who does them. He had heard so many stories that he was unsure what he wanted to see and do himself.
He sheathed his swords then figured since Jack seemed busy he may just talk with the ladies. He moved over to Sibylla, he got a call from the guy he just beat who warned him, " Easy boy! She looks like a handful!" Bow only laughed and looked back Sibylla, " Oy, so how long you gunna be with the crew?" He said pleasantly, his eyes focused on hers rather then other bodily organs.

Sibylla turned in Bow's direction blinking her green eyes at him. She didn't like how he had got her attention, but she had to get used to it, "Until I can get back to my ship." She said plainly wrapping her fingers around her sword.

Bow,
He seemed interested, " So, your girls have your own ship?" He wasn't reffering to the all female crew but something else, like a ship of sleepers, he reached forward and put his hand over hers that was on her sword, " I thought your kind waited untill we are asleep to try stuff like that. Why don't you trust me?" He said in a tone that oddly enough wasn't was demeing to her. He just wondered why she was so rude as to put her hand on her sword. He leaned in and whispered in her ear with concern " It shows weakness if you keep going for your sword, makes the men think your scaird of them. Trust me I know.You need something you can draw faster. " with his hand still on hers he used his free hand to whip out one of his daggers and spinned it so the hilt was faceing her, " you see, faster. Keep this untill you get off this ship. " He said with concern, a boy of his statue was just as good as a women during long trips on the sea;then he realesed her hand. He didn't have to be nice, he could have killed her 6 ways till Sunday before she could lift her sword a inch out of the stealth. He only brought it up cause he had seen her go for the sword a few times already.

She looked down at Bow's hand that had the dagger in it, "I actually like putting my hand on my sword. Reminds me of my Papa. He had this made before he died. I actually don't have a crew yet." She frowns,"I do all of the work myself." She said showing him her calloused and scarred hands, "I'm not all that feminine.." She said taking the dagger.

Bow,
He nodded, for a boy he seemed very insightful, like he wasn't looking at her body but he was trying to look at her person," It's a pity, my mum was in your line of work. She... Died because of it, all because she wanted a better life for herself; and me." He said the last part with a bit of coldness, he was never sure why she would subject herself to a life like that for him. He looked at her hands and figured she must work hard, she wondered how many men she would have to work on a day to get her hands that way. Instead of getting turned on his first instinct was to suggest clothing," I see, perhaps you should try some lamb skin gloves. Might protect your hands from getting this bad." He looked at her with a coldness in his eyes as he leaned in to whisper, " You may not be to feminine, but you are more so then I am. Trust me, even my more masculine traits didn't stop the ravage dogs. I doubt yours would." He leaned back, then sighed. " I must say, perhaps you should find another line of work; not saying it is my place to say anything just, wouldn't you rather go live in a city of pixies and faeries?" He said with the utmost of seriousness, as if such a place existed.

Peter walked onto the Black Pearl with a note in his hand. Kailani had snet him a note telling him to meet her there. Peter looked around the ship and saw her talking to Jack Sparrow. Still unsure about the pirate, Peter walked slowly up to Kailani.
"Hello!" He said, cheerfully. His pirate hat was tilted a little to the right and his pale blues eyes sparkled. "Hi Kailani!" He was very happy, beacuse he thought they were going to Port Royal.

"Master Peter," Elizabeth said with a little nod of her head at the newcomer. She had liked him very much when she met him, although he had been drunk at the time. She wondered if he would recogniz her in a pair of breeches and tri-corn hat but he probably didn't remember much of that night anyway.
She pulled herself into a sitting position on the rail, holding on tight because falling into the ocean was the last thing she wanted to do. She watched Sibylla amusedly. Whoever the boy was he was having fun baiting Sibylla.

(sorry i havn't been on, my math teacher is ruthless ><))
Kailani had been watching Bow and Sibylla with amused intrest. She sort of liked being here, and with a bath and a toothbrush maybe not all pirates were too bad, or, okay in some areas at least. She turned when she heard that familure voice call her name and she flashed a radiant smile as she turned, "Hey Peter!" She said happily, "I havn't seen you around, where ya been?"
Kail was somewhat relieved to see him at the same time. Though she regonized Elizabeth, she and Jack were the only others she knew. And, well, Jack was Jack, she had a feeling it wouldn't take four sentences before they would end up in an wit battle in a simple conversation, and that sort of thing bore on her nerves. But he will take us to Port Royal or he will come out of this with a missing arm. She told herself.
