Storm laughed lightly.
"Love, aim moore to the right, would you kindly?"

"Oh for the love of-" Melanie mumbled as she sunk her head in embarassment. "Now I have to clean it up...." She sighed, then took a piece of cloth off the table and dried it up."Sorry." She murmered.

Storm shook her head, in moderate disbelief. A pirate who can't hold her wine? A sad day indeed!
"It's fine. Excuse me."
She closed her cabin's door behind her and headed for the forecastle; they'd be coming up on an isle soon and she wanted first look.

(Hey, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy with school.)
Once the table and floor was cleaned up, Melanie busyed herself with looking at the collection of books, maps, and jewelry that were strewn about the cabin.

[It's fine; I understand. ^.-]
The sailor in the crows nest spotted and called out the land as soon as he saw it. Storm turned in the direction he'd pointed, raising her glasses. Sure enough, maybe forty, forty-five kilometers to their port. She smiled, her teeth bright against her dark face. The drow motioned to Stilgar who immediately began spouting orders; the ship turned into an ant's nest of activity; a few minutes later, the bow swung around, aligning itself with the isle.

Melanie could feel the ship turning underneath her feet and unfortunately-and no thanks to the wine-she nearly lost balance and fell over. Stilgars' booming voice resonated throughout the cabin, even though Melanie knew he was on the main deck above. Curious as to what caused the sudden scurry of the crew, Mel grabbed the bookcase for support, and once she regained balance, she walked out the door and up the stairs, out onto the main deck.
Once on deck, she had to be extra careful not to bump into any of the men scurrying about, knowing that that would end up badly. Mel tried in vain to find the captain above the crowd but all the men were too tall, and so she jumped; She finally caught a glimpse of Storm standing by the railing and walked over to stand next to her.

Storm glanced at Melanie, before turning back to her glasses.
"We're coming up on a home-port; we've a hold full to bursting with goods to fence. Normally I'd keep you on board as the officer-in-command for the ship, but....well."
She shrugged.
"First ports are always a little different."

Melanie leaned against the railing, resting her chin in her hands and watched as the home-port was coming closer and closer in to view. "Oh?" Mel said as she glanced up at Storm. "How so different?"

"New faces, new people, new customs. A different slice of life, if you will."
Storm frowned and lowered her glasses; she condensed them and tucked them away into an endless pocket on her belt. The drow turned back towards Stilgar on the bridge.
"Haplo's flag is flying, Stil."
Stilgar's mouth issued a stream of colourful vulgarities. Haplo and Storm did not get along well, Stilgar and him even less.

"Oh." Melanie nodded, then glanced between Storm, the first mate, and the island curiously, wondering who this Halpo guy was. "So..." She glanced up at Storm,"who's Halpo?"

Storm made a face that transferred only a portion of the distaste she felt for that name alone.
"An a*****e, even among us assholes. The c**k raided my own ******** ports. Mine."
She glanced over at Melanie.
"He will have a negative effect on you as well, I don't doubt. He's...got a way with women, especially. Especially cheery girls like you. He tends to think you're defenseless, and therefore easy ********>

Melanie's mouth dropped at both the obvious dislike this man seemed to have on Storm, and the already dislike she was beginning to recieve and just from hearing of him. "I hope he can deal with dissapointment; Because if not, he'll have to deal with the edge of my sword." She shook her head.

Storm smiled slightly.
"Atta girl; somebody tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back."
She frowned towards shore; the sun had already set.
"Port will be closed by the time we get there; we'll be spending the night on the ship. At least we won't have to deal with Haplo."

The corner of Melanie's mouth lifted in a small, uncertain smile; she wasn't sure whether what Storm said was meant to be sarcastic or just plain. Hopefully the captain wouldn't see Mel's uncertainty, so she just nodded. "Aye, that's true."

Storm merely smiled at Melanie's confusion. To an average human, Melanie could've pulled off her masquerade of self-confidence. Storm was, however, a drow and not a mere human; Melanie had no chance against Storm.
"I honestly hope you don't have to meet him. He leaves his mark on everyone, positive and negative."
