The Nobel Sort Of Pirate (open)

"He was up and moving around before I left." Sebastian said with a single nod. "No harm will come to him. I gave you my word." He glanced towards the men on his ship giving them a silent signal to stay calm.

[Kiknessa]

Elliot stepped down a little bit closer to Sebastian "He trusts you" he said quietly so only Sebastian could hear "That's why I'm tolerating all this. She trusts you because he does, i hope you don't make her regret that"
"Alright everyone" Rose called our rejoining the crew on deck "Captain Lycoris will be accompanying us to the island. He knows it so i decided it was best for him to come with us" Rose looked over at him
The men exchanged glances, unhappy that a cursed ship would be following but they kept their doubts quiet in front of the other captain

[mistic395]

Sebastian did not say anything in response to Elliot. When he heard Rose he glanced towards her with a slight smile. 'This will be interesting.' He thought. He looked at Elliot, waiting for the man to move aside so Sebastian could return to his ship.

[Kiknessa]

"Elliot" Rose yelled across the deck "Leave the man alone/ You can stare at him all you want once we reach the island"
Elliot's face went red while the crew laughed. He walked past Sebastian briskly to Rose "Sorry" he said to her. He glanced back "I just don't trust him"
"I know. And i'm glad for that. It'll keep me from trusting him blindly myself" she smiled, placing her hand on his shoulder

Sebastian raised a brow at the scene before him and Amador returned to their ship. Sebastian immediately informed the crew of what was going on. "Sir...are you sure you wish to return there?" One crew member asked.

"I don't have much choice." Sebastian told him. "I owe Royce and if that means keeping Rose and his nephew safe then I will." He glanced over towards Rose's ship and looked back towards his crew. "Get ready to go. We stay close."

[Kiknessa]

Rose's crew was efficient. They were off at good speed in a short amount of time. Rose helped the crew with the work, then went into her cabin to look over her charts. Elliot and one other man assuming charge in her absence

[mistic395]

Sebastian's ship stayed close on their heels. The captain stood at the bow of the ship, leaning against the railing with his eyes closed. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he thought about what was likely to come once they entered the waters around the island. Several hours later the wind changed to an eerie breeze. Fog rolled in around the ships, thick enough that it made seeing difficult but not impossible.

[Kiknessa]

The Bloody Baron slowed so that it sailed directly beside Sebastian's ship and a figure came through the fog, using one of the mast ropes to swing between ships. Rose landed easily on the deck and held her hands up so the crew would not attack her
"Just want to ask the boss some questions" she said with a grin. She looked over at Sebastian "Might hear some hollering from my ship, I kind of didn't tell Elliot that I intended to come over here. Boy he looked pissed" she laughed

[mistic395]

Sebastian's eyes snapped opened whenever Rose landed on deck. "Stand down." He ordered his men as he pushed himself up straight and walked over towards her. "And what may I help you with?" He asked her, his arms still crossed across his chest.

[Kiknessa]

Rose flicked her hair over her shoulder and walked over to meet him "Don't look so happy to see me" she said with a cheeky grin "Just wanted to ask some things. This place makes you nervous and since you sail a cursed ship" she looked down at her feet making a point of acknowledging that she was not on it as well then looked up at him "I figured it didn't hurt to know what i was leading my people into. Since you are probably doing this for Royce and not for me i figure with Elliot still over there i can trust that you won't just kidnap me now"

[mistic395]

"This way." Sebastian led Rose to his map room. "Have a seat." He said moving over to sit down as well. "What all do you want to know exactly? I need you to be a little more specific."

[Kiknessa]

Rose sat down n the chair and played around with one of the items on his desk
"You said the island was part of the vampire legend and that parts of the legend were true" she said looking up at him "What part does it play and what parts are real?"

[mistic395]

Sebastian leaned back and sighed softly. "Most of it is true. The pain and suffering caused by the vast majority of their race. They collect many a women and pirates as slaves. The lifestyle under them is brutal and the few that have escaped eventually end up going mad or die. However those that gain their favor gain eternity. Or as some might call it, the fountain of youth. Forever stuck at one age for eternity. Never aging and never dying. Living off the blood of your victims and watching the world around you fade and slip away without you being able to do a damn thing. And constantly holding the burden of a secret that you wish to tell but fear how others would react should they learn the truth." He looked towards her, his eyes glazed slightly. "It is not a life any should desire but saddly there are.some who wish only for power." He ran a hand back through his hair. "When you return to your ship you will want to wait until night fall. The most treacherous time on the island but the safest time to dock as the fog will have lifted."

[Kiknessa]

Rose leaned back in her chair for a moment then looked at him, remembering all that stuff that had been collected in his house, as well as the age and history of the ship she was on
"How old are you?" she asked after a moment, looking him straight in the eye

[mistic395]

"How old would you like me to be?" He asked with a smirk gracing his lips. He rubbed his forhead gently before looking towards the map that was on the table infront of the two. It was the same map that had been in his home that had first alerted her to the island.
