"Ye're Spoon's woman, right?" Gibbs hasn't seen Spoon in ages, but he remembers the strange lifelike art in miniature that Spoon carries. "No offense, but you look awful."
"Well, he's not the most reasonable of men," he says with a nervous smile. That giggling is just a wee bit unnerving. "And compared to him, you look great."
"I just meant he's Spoon. Ugly as sin even when he's not a wolf." Clearly his effort at banter fell way short. "Haven't seen him in ages, to be honest. Guess you haven't either." Spoon lost in time again? He hopes not.
"Hmmm? No, last I saw him was..." She glances around the room, taking in the occupants and what seasonal decorations there might be. "Just a day or so ago, it seems. He's at home, with the girls. He just gets into trouble so quickly."
And he hasn't quite cornered the market on that ability, it seems.
"Yes. His ability to do that is almost equal to Captain Sparrow's." Another face he never sees anymore. "Girls?" He remembers something about Spoon adopting someone, thought it never made much sense to him, a man adopting a a child. The future will be weird, though.
"Cora and Penny. Our two... thankfully human, girls."
They will never know Spoon's curse, or hers.
Not while she still has anything to say about it, anyway.
The Bar decides that a tipsy Time Lord is much preferable to one that's just wreaked and provides a glass of Painkiller that's made at triple strength.
A few of those and even Ace's constitution will put up a white flag.
"I think I recall Cora. Penny doesn't sound familiar. But like I say, haven't seen Spoon lurking here. And I've been at sea a lot, too." Though with the captain so noticeably pregnant now, he would rather be anywhere else some days.
"It probably isn't. But pirates are not particularly known for maintaining societal norms of behavior." Or even objecting to such questions themselves.
"Well, so long as that is decided." She isn't entirely sure why he wanted to know if it was his business, but it seems to have been sorted out satisfactorily.
There were two young Gallifreyan Time Lords there today. Her language has become decidedly more literal because of it.

And then she breaks out into giggles - not quite hysterical, but definitely exhausted.
"No offense taken. I've been tryin' t'tell Spoon that f'ages now."

"What has he done to himself this time?" Because she's not dead, and if he looks worse... must've been a doozy.

"Spoon doesn't lurk very well." She agress. Or, at least, she thinks she's agreeing with him.

"So it is any of my business to ask why you look so bad?"

"I haven't the foggiest. Is it?" At least she's honest.
