"She be as I expected 'er t' be." Daniel commented.

"Me thanks, Bane and Goodmornin'." He said, taking the list from Bane and nodding to Iris. "How be yer knee?" he asked, eyeing the way she walked. There was a difference in the manor of looking for Daniel. There was a calculating of symptoms and signs that somewhat happened automatically with his position with the crews. There was also, at separate times, gazes of admiration and desire. Iris seemed to have an uncanny ability to her to draw out both together. It was different with her than with Avery, she was an entire other flame of her own.

Daniel menouvered around the ship quicker than he had the day before. He was getting used to this new vessel.

"Hello ladies." he said, entering into the kitchen area.

"Hello Doctor." Amelia said, unknowlingly easing into being more timid than she already was.

"Could you make some hot water for the captain? I'll be back to retrieve it in a moment." he continued, mostly talking to Scarlet.

Daniel was shocked that the girl was of noble blood. He figured, with her mannerisms she was, at the very least, a new addition to the crew from the colonies. Never did he think of her as nobility but subtle differences made sense.

"Aye, then port we'll make." Daniel understood the importance of returning Amelia to her family. There was another he also harbored concern for, but this one was not an alluring innocent.

"Cap'n, If i may be excused..." he intended to leave Avery in order to return with a remedy his mother had taught him for a troubled mind. As well as to avoid the temptation of wrapping his arms around her. She was so trusting the way she had her back turned to him and the creamy side of her neck exposed from underneath her hair.

"Aye, t'would be a shame and a grievance." Daniel agreed. "This curse tha' ailes ye is far beyond me knowledge bu' I am th' doctor o' this ship and tha' means that ye be in me care too. I'll do wha' I can t' help." He said, further trying to comfort Avery.

He was surprised, to a degree, that Avery was confiding so much in him. It encouraged him and concerned him. She, this crew openly showed weakness and found strength in each other for it. He still wasn't sure if he could fit in but the more he talked ot this particular crew, the more he almost wanted to.

"Mayhap we should find land, a quiet port t' rest a while." Daniel suggested. he hoped that maybe some time off of the sea would do Avery good.

Daniel took on a scowl as he watched Avery. There was a faltering in her voice as she began to struggle getting words out to finish her sentence. It sparked concern within him, and thus the scowl. He guessed that her fear was of dying. After all, the both of them were old for pirates.

"b'fore ye meet yer maker?" He tried to help, still sounding gruff but trying to be encouraging that she may meet the positive side of death as opposed to whatever hell he was likely damned to.

Amelia took on this information. Sage had seemed more than courteous with her, not the most quiet but first impressions can always be wrong.

The two continued their work as the crew ate and slowly brought back their dishes to be cleaned.

"Ahhh... An' 'till th' end o' time pirates will hunt for th' gems, now all collected into one nice neat little package, 'till they become myth?" Daniel asked, his tone sounding harsher than intended. He was trying to tease Avery. "Tis a nice thought t' take up yer father's mantel." he continued, aiming for a more genuine tone to smooth over his roughness.

~~~

Avery nodded, feeling somewhat cautious and curious of the man in question. "Is he nice, like the doctor?" She asked, absentmindedly letting the comparison of the two men slip from her tongue. The two men were certainly cut from different kinds of cloth.

"Aye, 't be a bad idea t' chance upon a true goddess o' th' sea. They be a tempest all their own." Daniel echoed. "We collect these for wha' then? Is i' t' bring th' world t' end?" He doubted this was the cause but one never knew exactly what lay in the hearts of others.

~~~

"Oh, so... he is bound to the ship as opposed to a person?" Amelia inquired, fairly sure she was correct.

Splinters

"Tha' be a sad tale." He said, acknowledging the pain she must have lived through.

"An' th' pieces o' eight? What be they an' what do they do?" He pressed, moving on.

"So he's not a sailor, but an officer?" Amelia hadn't seen an officer in his garb before. Then again most of the officers she had encountered were working under the royal flag. "Where does his allegiance lie?" She asked, startling at the happening of the thought leaving her mouth before she could stop it. Mother would have a fit if she kept up such poor self-control.

"I be 'ere 'cuz this be where life has brought me." Daniel began. "Wi' a little propelling o' me own choices i' I be honest." He followed Avery to the window, folding his arms behind his back. This was something he had retained from his time in the navy. "Cap'n, nothin' an' everythin' scares me." he said, voicing the faintest thoughts that came to mind. It was cryptic, but about as open as he could be. Callous to the world but still sensitive to it too, jaded was what he had become.

"I've been on th' run from death since I was a boy. I do wha' I can t' get by. I' I can, I believe it be good to help others along th' way. Life ha' taught me tha' I need t' take care o' meself first though." Daniel said delving deeper into himself and pausing.

"How did ye come t' be what ye are now? Not often does a Lady become wha' ye are an' be successful." It was an abrupt change in subject but she was right, he did have questions.

~~~

"It was no problem Scarlet." Amelia said, playing with the cuff of her sleeve absently. "I have ever seen him, or someone like him before. He doesn't look like a sailor..." she let the unspoken question hang in the air, for Scarlet to fill in who Sage was.
