Less tired today.

Strange, but things seem to be a lot clearer with dawn, and the subject that's been plaguing me has resolved itself into three bald statements:

I'm needed at home.

Is where I came from truly home?

...I don't want to go back.

This and the fact that I've been told this tomato juice drink is very good for the symptoms caused ( Read more... )

"She must have you mistaken for another pirate."

*he doesn't look surprised anymore* How many pirates are there in this place? And just how many look like ME, for Heaven's sake?

"I don't know, and he really doesn't look anything like you at all. She's just really stupid."

Hmmm. *he shakes his head, briefly, black curls jumping, dismissing the subject* Thankyou for visiting me again.

"You're welcome. I enjoy our talks."

As do I. It is a pleasure to talk with someone who isn't a fool or a child. *having intelligent conversations is rather a lost artform on his ship*

"You don't find me either?" She looks surprised.

You are manifestly no child. *he looks her up and down, once, with a quirk of the lip* And no, you are not a fool. You are misguided, perhaps, to befriend one such as I, but not foolish.

She smiles. "Thank you."

It is only the truth. *he offers her his rare, genuine smile, not the savage baring of teeth normally displayed, and crosses to a cabinet set into the wall* Can I offer you a drink?

Her smile grows under the warmth of his. "Tempting, but I can't have any alcohol for the next nine months."

*He's not stupid, and makes the obvious assumption, eyes flicking briefly to her midsection, but good form demands no questions be asked if a confidence like this is shared: and besides, this is female intelligence and not to be meddled with if you do not fully understand it*

Tea, then?

"That would be lovely. And yes, I am. You're free to ask about it."

*he gathers various tea-making paraphenalia together, which appear to come from a variety of centuries, dimensions and worlds: the teapot in particular is a very peculiar shape and seems to be self-heating. From the smell of the brewing leaves, he is making Earl Grey. To be honest, he isn't sure what to ask. Pregnancy really isn't a subject he's ever discussed, because it seems to often grow out of love (a ruthlessly quashed emotion) and tends to result in children (the bane of his life)*

I hope you are not feeling...sick?

"No more than is to be expected." She wonders a little at the things he's using, especially the self-heating teapot.

((a gift from a very nice werewolf-girl in another pocket dimension...She looked after him when he was very badly wounded once. He has acquired a whole variety of very odd gifts since I've been playing him...))

*he pours into a china cup for her and into a rather more battered tankard for himself* And the fortunate father? *a lot of travelling has schooled him not to immediately say "husband"*
