Having Gibbs on board has been good for Elizabeth. She trusts him as much as she can trust any pirate; seeing his familiar face as they set sail, and as she proudly showed him the Empress, very nearly made her cheerful

To her credit, Elizabeth doesn't shriek or otherwise show outward surprise, other than to raise an eyebrow and open her mouth as if she has several choice words to say but can't decide which would be most appropriate.
"Adam."
She blinks at the children, then the Antichrist.
"Your wife was delivered of her litter, I presume?"
Not long after Captain Turner has made her way to that table, Gibbs comes through the same door. He smiles. It's not the broadest smile in creation, being that he still has little love for the magic in the Bar. But after so many months of drinking here, he's gotten us to the place.
"Captain," he reports, "everything is ship-shape. So if you don't object, I'll be taking a bit of a break?" This is as close as he'll come to asking the captain's permission. Pirates don't ask permission much.
"Certainly," she replies, stealing a glance at the door. Every now and then, she likes to make sure it's still there. "I'm glad we are afforded the opportunity."
She offers the plate to him. Pineapple goes well with rum.
Here is something that Sally hasn't seen yet; a woman in what might be seventeenth or eighteenth century male clothing. Curiosity gets the better of her, and the Londoner pulls out her camera to take a few shots.
Couldn't harm the portfolio she's trying to make, right?
"Camera," she starts, lowering it and taking a step back. "Sorry. I'm going to guess you've not seen one of these before?" Sally holds the digital camera back up.
"You take pictures with it. People, animals, plants, objects."
There's a smile on Toki's face, he'd noticed a peculiar overabundance of people singing and dancing today and most of last night. Not that he knew he had anything to do with it.
He did, however, notice the lady as he walked past with his guitar in hand, on his way over to the Observation Window. And may have tried to sneak a slice of fruit in the process.
Hey, if it wasn't being guarded very well, it was up for grabs!

She gets a wolf whistle from the blue creature sitting a few tables away. True he's not aware of all the connotations a wolf whistle has and he's not attracted to human females but it generally garners an amusing reaction.

To her knowledge, Elizabeth has never had someone whistle at her. Other sorts of insinuations, yes, but never an outright whistle. Narrowing her eyes, she locates the source of the whistle and... blinks.

"Yakapitbine iddibidibah!"
That? Would be a highly entertianed experiment. It casually rests an elbow on the top of its own table and gives her a once over. Followed by a very broad and toothy grin.

It could be that he wasn't sitting there when she sat down.
Either way, he's there now.
Oh yeah -- he has several small people with him, as well.
"Afternoon, Lizzy."

They are quite cute, actually, not that she's prepared to admit as much.
"I wasn't sure you still came here."

"I don't object," she tells him. "I plan on doing the same myself.
"Thank you, Mr. Gibbs."
Pirates don't say thank you much, either, but sometimes the words serve their purpose.

"I trust that is not a weapon," she says. "I've yet to feel a sting."

"It must be magic."
The logical conclusion, here.

"You know," Elizabeth drawls, "in some parts of the world I could have stabbed your hand for that."
But not here. She has no wish to end up in the cells.

After finishing it off, he smiled, "Dat's is what Murderface tries to does when I steals his foods. But I gots fast hands."
Beat.
"I could pays you back, though."

Elizabeth continues to watch the man closely.
"That would be an intriguing name for a pirate." A hand wave. "It's just a piece of papaya."
She really is in a good mood.

It's oddly cute, in a strange, very blue sort of way.
Elizabeth's brow wrinkles in a frown, and she straightens out of habit rather than concern.
"Hello." That grin is unnerving. "My, how very many teeth you have."
Perhaps that would serve as a compliment wherever the creature is from.
