Swallowed In The Sea (Open Post)

An eerie calm seemed to have settled over Where. There had been no new arrivals for more than a week, no mysterious happenings, nothing. At first the quiet had been a nice change, but now it was really starting to bother Sawyer. With nothing to do and nowhere to go he'd been left alone with his thoughts and he quickly realized that his thoughts

Here be a pirate in the distance, holding down her big, floppy hat against the breeze. As much time as she's spending checking on her ship neatly tucked from view, Anamaria might as well live there.

He spots the pirate woman a ways off and wanders over to talk to her. "I figured you would have sailed off this rock by now," he calls out as he approaches.

Habit moves her hand to her sword until she gets closer and recognizes him. "One day I will, Sawyer," she says when they're several feet apart. "Been keeping quiet, eh?"

[islandrebel]

"Sure you will." He glances out at the water again, then back to her. "Not much choice, it's a damn quiet place. And you? Found any galleons to plunder around here?"

Cho has decided to venture out on her own, feeling rather bold all of a sudden, and makes her way through the jungle towards the beach. She's trying to make note of the various plants and flowers she recognizes, and sketches down the ones she doesn't, hoping they might have magical properties.

She makes her way to the edge of the forest and sees a figure a short ways off on the sand. It takes her a moment to recognize that it's Sawyer, and as soon as she does, she starts blushing.

A kiss.

It seems such a silly thing to get hung up on, but if she's honest with herself, she's thought about it slightly more than might be considered normal. She keeps along the edge and clears her throat, not sure if he's out here for some 'alone' time, or if he'd welcome company.

He's still watching the water, his mind wandering, when he hears someone behind him and slowly turns to see who it is. He smiles when he sees Cho standing there.

"Hey there Sunshine. Haven't seen you in a while." It hadn't really been that long, but he'd sort of wondered if she was avoiding him.

"Yeah... sorry... I just... I got really caught up with work and all." It's a lie and she knows it and she feels horrible and she knows it's probably not in the least convincing. The fact was she wasn't sure what that kiss meant if anything, and the last thing she wanted to do was act like some lovesick schoolgirl. He'd probably laugh if she did that, and she'd be mortified. So better that she gathered herself as well as she could before seeing him again.

[islandrebel]

"Right." He doesn't believe it for a second, but he's willing to go along with it. So she had been avoiding him. He didn't blame her, it was probably the smart thing to do. He should know better than to... well, he should just know better. "So, how's tricks?"
