Evey sits outside, staring upwards into the rain.

Today is his anniversary.

She sighs once more before wrapping her arms around her knees, ready to hold vigil over this night.

Typist: Pretending I don't fail and didn't post it a day late

He catches sight of her through a window and runs outside, concerned.

"Hey, you there! Are you alright?"

[evey_intherain]

She looks up in some surprise, having forgotten about other people living here

"Oh, um, yeah, I'm fine" she gives him a small smile.

[mickey_theidiot]

Stops short, embarrassed. "Sorry, I just thought you was... Sorry."

He pulls his jacket over his head to protect it from the rain and glowers up at the sky, as if it's the sky's fault that he just made a fool of himself.

"What're you doing out here, anyway? It's raining, in case you haven't noticed."

[evey_intherain]

"You thought I was...?"

That makes her grin "Yeah, I know, I'm just... remembering. It's Guy Fawkes Day, you know"

((Yeah, we're going to pretend I wasn't late also.))

Barbossa walks out. Even though he hates the British government any night that gives an excuse to drink more rum is good with him. He has an extra bottle since Jack had pointed the girl outside in the rain. He feels the cold and the wet and the rain and sighs happily. This is the feeling of LIFE flowing back to him. It's a wonderful feeling. He watches her sitting on the porch for a moment before setting the rum down and taking off his coat. He drapes it over her shoulders and hands her a bottle.

"T' keep the warmth in." He says. He's been use to the sea. This small rain is nothing to him.

[evey_intherain]

She startles as the coat settles on her shoulders, not having seen him approach, and takes the bottle with a grin "Thanks, I think I'll need it tonight." And without any regard for decorum, she opens the bottle and takes a small swig.

"Why are ya out in the rain?" He gets the feeling like this night is different from all other nights. Not that it's just Guy Faux night but it's something else for her as well. Jack crawls into her lap and watches the rain fall.

[evey_intherain]

She smiles at Jack and pets him as he settles in her lap, taking a moment to think of how best to word her answer.

She decides on the simplest explanation. "A friend of mine, he died last year"

We fail. Completely. But have an Inspector Finch. "There should be fireworks."

[evey_intherain]

She looks up and smiles "You haven't had enough of them yet? I know I have"

[an_honest_soul]

"Haven't seen enough of them in this place. Can't celebrate the Fifth of November without fireworks." He tries to be cheery, to comfort the girl and offers his umbrella.

"You'll catch a chill, Evey."

[evey_intherain]

"I suppose so" she looks out again, giving a quick grin of thanks for the umbrella.

"Hm? Oh, it's not that cold, and being wet doesn't bother me that much"
