To all those walking outside, watch your step. *surreptitiously rubs his head and mutters* Damn northern weather with their damn northern ice and snow....

What? The great Troy, Child of the Sea God, trumped by a little wet patch? Heheheh.

[i_am_a_pisces]

I was on land,, pirate. Land.

And must you use that ridiculous name?

[foxy_hervey]

A slippery bit of land, am I right, or am I right?

Of course! Adds to the humour, and plus~ It's a bonus that you hate it, too!

[i_am_a_pisces]

*Frowns* Yes....you are. Want me to show you where it was? It was right by the lake.

Wonderful....

[foxy_hervey]

Aw, Troy. You asking me out for a swim? 'cause I'd have to politely decline, my good man~

So, where'd you end up hitting yourself, anyway?

C'mon, be proud! It's a great name! Like Hervey the Furious. Hear that ring to it? Great.

[i_am_a_pisces]

I wasn't really asking, Hervey. *smirks, but let's it go. His head hurts too much to wrestle a pirate into the lake right now*

It was over near the docks, the stone walkway was rather slick. Damn ice...

I am not sure the people who gave it to me were looking for something with a ring to it....

[foxy_hervey]

What, so you were forcing? Good guys don't force when a girl's said no!

Huh... Well, damn. I suppose I gotta' watch my step 'round there then, huh? Didja' hit your head on the way down? *grinnn*

Nah, you don't think so? C'mon, nicknames have gotta' be good for them t'stick!

[i_am_a_pisces]

*Grins suddenly* Did you just call yourself a girl?

Perhaps... *runs a hand over the back of his head*

Good? I suppose so, I'm not entirely sure where that name came from...

[foxy_hervey]

......... Wha-- *mentally goes backwards... and cringes, a little* Hey, th -- no! Don't be stupid! I was making a... a... metaphor. Is that the word?!

Maybe you should get some ice on it. Heheh.

I imagine either guys like me who wanted to get their hands on you or guys in Kooluk who wanted to scare people. Does it matter too much?

[i_am_a_pisces]

*Still grinning, maybe even starting to laugh* I think the word is 'honest'.

.........*groans* You've been waiting to make that joke, haven't you?

....Not now, not anymore. I don't plan to use my seamanship skills to do anything to gain it again...and I wouldn't have to worry about it at all if people would stop using it.

[foxy_hervey]

*flustered tangent* No, dammit, we both know I'm not a girl or honest, and if you really insist on calling me a girl, I'm gonna hafta' -- wait, that's not even the point, the point is that you're a bad guy for forcing! ... Shame, Troy! Shame!

..... Y-yeah. Yeah and no. ..... Wait, no, I lied, hell yeah.

Huh, that's almost a pity, y'know... But if it makes you feel any better, you won't have to gain it again if I don't stop using it~

[i_am_a_pisces]

*Innocently* I haven't forced you to do anything, go anywhere, or even into the lake today. And you were the one who called yourself a girl...I just merely didn't disagree.

*just looks at him* .....What?

A pity? Why? ....and no, that doesn't make me feel any better. *frown*

[foxy_hervey]

Nah-ah, Troy, you can't use your fancy reasoning on me today, buddy! You were this close to forcing! *indicating a tiny amount with his hand here for effect!*

... N-nevermind.

You were one of the great legends of the time, y'know? Something to talk about over some drinks, something that everbody knew about.

[i_am_a_pisces]

*Laughs* Fancy reasoning? Yes, I should definitely not use that. And it was more like this... *opens Hervey's fingers just a bit more*

.....If you wish. *amused*

Legends? *Pauses* I had never given it much thought...although I did suppose that it was perpetuated by that battle with the Razril knights and Kooluk certainly didn't mind using me to be the threat in their armada. *Pauses* People spoke about me over drinks? I imagined that your Lady pirate and her crew were more of a story than I was.

[foxy_hervey]

...... *raises an eyebrow looking totally nonplussed, and then closes his fingers completely* That close now. That close!

Well, your Kooluk buddies certainly had good reason for that. But, it depends on what areas you go to, I guess. 'course, when you don't name-drop, you can get a few pretty damn good stories out of other pirates 'round a table. I did it sometimes when I went to grab supplies. Two big hits in the tales, you 'n us.

[i_am_a_pisces]

*trying not to grin, he stubbornly opens Hervey's fingers* More like that...if your fingers were closed, then I would throwing you in the lake.

True. Who would want to fight a captain that was born from the sea? *rolls his eyes at how ridiculous it feels to say that* I imagine so...although I admit I have never tried to get stories out of pirates. Not those kind, at least. *Smirks* Legends from the seas, hm? How did you come by 'furious'?
