Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Skipping just a bit of time...))

The Ocean's Tears soon pulled into the docks of the island that was much like the one they had just left. It may have been late in the night, or early in the morning depending on how you think about it, but the bars where still very much so alive.

Once things were all squared away to be repaired Wendy stood at the wheel and rubbed her head. It had been a long eventful day to say the least. She walked over to Farris. “I’m going into town…I need a drink...or two.” She said and walked off the ship towards the town. Wendy did not drink all the time, but when she did and she was stressed....she drank as much if not more than any man could.

After sending Darin to guard the Captain’s Courters, and have her swear to not let the twins out, Farris had decided he needed a drink as well and made his way to the tavern he had seen Wendy enter. Along the way, a group three whores got in his way. He wasn’t the kind of person to be rude if he didn’t need to be and he didn’t think Wendy could get to drunk that quickly.

The whores stood on three sides of him, stroking his chest and his arms. “Oh, you’re a strong fellow. Look at these arms, Tee!” One cried to another.

Farris placed his hand on top of hers and smiled. “Excuse me, But I really must be going.”

The one called Tee perked up and smiled up at Farris. “Oh, a strong man like you, you could handle all three of us. Couldn’t you handsome.?” Tee asked, puckering her lips.

“No actually I have-”

“Oh he could ladies. This one’s a pirate. And they can never back down from a challenge.” The last one said in a lazy drawl, seeing that she was loosing him. She smiled up at him and started petting his chest. “I’ll make a deal with you. If you can handle all three of us, we’ll give you half off on our group rate. She said with a sly smile, thinking Farris was caught.

It was the last one’s mistake actually. He had almost been caught, but when she put her hand on his chest, he was reminded of what Wendy had done earlier that evening. He shook his head and pushed the whores away from him. “Ladies I have my own. I’m trying to go retrieve her. Now if you would kindly move.”

The older whore smiled and laugh. “Retrieve? The only men who go and retrieve their women are the one’s you can’t handle them!” She said and screeched, guiding the other two girls away, still laughing.

Farris shook his head and made his way to the bar, almost running in his hurry. He came into the bar and looked around. It took him a minute to find her. When he did, he caught the end of their conversation. He was shocked by her actions and at first didn’t move. But when the mad decided to lead her up to his rooms, he shook himself free.

He strode over to the man, he was probably the same age as Farris, but Farris was a sailor, so his face was rough with the saltwater and the sun. Aging him almost ten years. Farris tapped the man on the shoulder and stepped between him and Wendy. “Actually I’m not a moron and the amount of time I have spent trying to not make her cry would make you head spin.” He said bluntly. Nodding to the man, he turned around and picked Wendy up. One arm behind her back; near her neck, and the other under her knees, he turned and walked out of the tavern.

Farris made his way through the docks and onto the ship. He ignored the stares and brought her to his cabin. He lied her on his bed and sighed, running his hand through his hair. “We’ve got to talk about this once your sober.” He said and shook his head. He looked down at her and sighed. “Yer staying here tonight. The twins wrecked your room and I don’t want you in there yet, tha bed might be a disaster. And I don’t wanna let them out till we’re at sea. Dunna worry I’ll sleep in the crews area tonight.” He said and smiled at her. He turned, making his way to the door.

Farris sighed and nodded. He wanted despretly ot kiss her abck but he didn't. He unwound her fingers from his shirt and arm and set her back down on the bed. Bending he took off her boots and lossened the vest she was wearing. He pulled hte covers over her and turned the cover of he light.

He pulled up a chair and rested his feet on his desk. He started humming softly and then started singing Dan's lulliby softly.

Farris beat her to the door and put a hand on her shoudler. "Ye can sleep with you ye want, when yer sober enough to chose them and rememeber wha thtey look liek in the morin'." he said gently and shook his head. "I dinna refuse you, but I know your drunk and yer would hate yourself for it come the morn." he said, stressed so he slipped back into his lower city drawl. "Come now. Just sleep hear. Like I said, the twins wreake dyour room." He said gently, stearing her back to the bed.

Farris took a deep breath. "I'm not tryin to tell ya not ta. I jsut want ya ta be able ta choose a man that won't leave ya with a babe in the belly and unable to go afta the treasure." he sid as he picked her back up. "I care about ye weather ya willing ta accept tha or not." He said softly. "I know I'm not anythin ta ya, but I donna wan ta see ya hurt in the street or somatt." He said and shook his head. Your in no condition to see thoes twins either. Nah, you'd sacre them and may hurt yeself in the proccess. he said to himself.

Farris wouldn't set her down. If he did she might hurt herself. e took a few breaths calming himself."You are drunk. Even more drunk then you were before. When you realized wha tyou had done, you almost cried. I do not want to seee that look again. I do not want to cause that looks again." He said softlly and bit his upper lip. "Wendy...You do not want me. That you have mad clear here tonight. I accept that, for I did not think I had a chance with you untill this morning anyway." he said soflty. "You may not ever want me, but I still do not want you to get hurt. You are like a sister to me, even if you do not want to see me as a brother. I do not want you to act the way you are in front of thie crew, or you younger brothers." he said with finality in hsi voice. "Now, will you please jsut stay here tonight? You will never have to again. I swear."

Farris nodded and smiled. He looked at her, his blue eyes dark and deep. He set her down on his bed and pulled the cover over her again. He walked to the door and turned the nobb. He looked back over hsi shoulder and said somthing. "You're a pirate too you know. Why would you want someone to settle down with...if you yourself wouldn't?" he said with a grin and nodded to her, leaving her to think on that he closed the door.

Farris walked up the the captian's rooms and nodded to Darin, letting him leave to go onshore as well. Farris leaned aggaisnt the door, sword out.

After their necklaces had been taken the twins fumed. Both sat in the cabin waiting to be let out just so they could kill the guy that took the onlything their father had given them.

They knew when the boat docked again but they were not let out and that only made their anger grow. They plotted and grumbled to eachother until finally their energy gave out and both fell asleep leaned into a corner of the room, their head's together.
