Evelyn sat down on the sofa and watched her put the other dresses away. She rested her elbows on her knees and nodded at her last comment. She raised an eyebrow mischievously, "Yes well...I didn't think of him as King when I pleasured him, just Charles....and Nell..." she smirked a little.

A little gasp escaped Victoria's lips. She blushed pink... "And Nell?" She giggled a little... "My...you'll be the scandal of the court...with the King entranced...my brother at your feet. Jack evidently thinks your lovely...and the Duke of Monmouth was practically drooling in your lap last night, Admiral Laurence liked you...and there's Will..." she added teasingly, smiling naughtily.

Evelyn laughed lightly at her reaction, "Well Charles isn't too bad, I'm actually quite fond of him, yer brother can go to the very depths of hell - no offence, Jack, well...he's a sweetheart, and pretty good in the kip, the little Duke isn't quite my type, the Admiral's...admirable...and Will..." she shook her head, "I'm just a fleetin' fancy for him, he'll get over it."

"You're wrong. He loves you. It's the way he looks at you, and he talks to you...like you are a friend...but not just that...to him you are perfection." She shut the wardrobe with a little click, still beaming. "And you're right about my brother. He's a fool. All this..." she gestured to the papers..."Bills. From his drinking, his feasting, his gambling and his whores." Sighing she gathered them to one side and put the papers in a large pile. "Thank goodness we have a large fortune from my father, and our lands in France and Norfolk...and the shipping business which I doubt is no more than piracy..." She smirked to herself... "Thus I suppose that makes us both pirate princesses..."

"Pirate Queen, actually..." she corrected with a grin, "Pirate Queen and Pirate Princess, eh?" she tilted her head, "Mind you, yer don't look like much of a pirate..."
Her tolerance for the princess had increased, she wasn't...terrible, she'd been quite bearable in the last few minutes anyway.

Jack was walking down the corridor when he caught sight of Will in the garden, blinking, he squeezed through the window, "Will...? What're you doing here boy?"

Glancing up, Will smiled... "I was just thinking...as I usually do...about...her." He admitted with a sheepish shrug. He knew his friend would understand. "And you? What are you doing?" he queried. Neither man heard the royal footsteps pacing down the corridor...
~~
Laughing again, Victoria nodded... "No I don't...not really. With all this..." She gestured to herself and to her room. "You do look like a pirate though...like your ancestor...Grace. My father told me stories about her when I was young. So you see...despite everything...I've always liked pirates. Your life seems very exciting..." she trailed off, a dreamy look passing over her face...

Jack nodded with compassion, "I know whatcha mean, mate..." he sat down next to him, "Just thinking..." he smiled. "Looking forward to tomorrow I expect?" he asked him.
~~
A smile emerged on Evelyn's face as she heard her ancestor's name. It filled her with...hope, with dreams and a kind of belonging.
She saw the look on her face and lifted her head with acknowledgment, "So how are things with dear ol' Jack?" she asked with a sheepish grin.

"Yes and No..." was all Will could manage before a voice rang out... "Gentlemen! You have found my private sanctuary." cried Charles, who had been looking for some time alone, though he decided then and there that some time with these interesting characters would do him far more good... "How are we this fine morning?" asked the King cordially, perching on the wall and removing his periwig.
~
Victoria did not blush, but avoided Evelyn's gaze... "They're fine. He's a very pleasant gentleman, delightful compant...and I'm eternally grateful to him for rescuing me." She fiddled with one of her rings...

Jack blinked. He was a little taken aback by the King's casual approach. "Fine...fine...and you your Majesty...?" he decided to choose his words carefully. Should he be casual too? Or stick to little formalities? He was utterly bemused.
~~
Evelyn rolled her eyes, "Blah blah blah, so have you had sex with him or what?" she asked.

"You can call me Charles...Jack," the King smiled, "I'm fine...worn out with work and women but what else is new eh?" He laughed jovially. Will grinned in agreement. "Sir Turner knows what I am talking about..." Charles said in jest, and Will's grin widened... "You like your title...?" Charles inquired, smiling back..."It is yours tomorrow. And you Jack...are we to call you Earl Sparrow?" The King guffawed a little at the name, though he was half joking...he wanted to know if the man would accept his offer...or if he would have the same answer as Evelyn.
~~
"No." she spoke bluntly, "I'm a virgin." She said it proudly, and gave Evelyn a glare, challenging her to make a remark.

Jack smiled a little, though it was an apologetic one, "I have to decline your generous offer Charles..." He scratched his neck, "I just..." he sighed, not knowing what to say. "I have the title I need...and that's enough for me...but thank you."
~~
Evelyn blinked, and then let out a laugh, "You're a what?" She put the back of her hand to her lips. She breathed in a couldn't help but laugh again, "You're serious? You've never...ever had sex?"

The King nodded sadly..."I wish I could convince you otherwise. I have still yet to convince Evelyn...any ideas men?" Will snorted... "Hold her down?" Charles blinked. "What an excellent plan!"
~~
Victoria rolled her eyes... "No. Never." She sighed..."I'm not totally inexperienced. I have done...other things to please men. But...not that. That is sacred and for my husband. When I marry. If I ever marry." She glanced at Evelyn, "I know we differ greatly on this subject matter..."

Jack grimaced a little, "Hold her down? That could be painful.......for us." he stroked his chin, "I mean we could try, but...well she's pretty resolute..." he looked at the other two men, "We'll try force, if not...we'll...think of something else." he nodded.
~~
Evelyn shrugged, "Bit of a waste if you ask me." she nodded to her, "So what about this other Pirate? James?" she asked. Seeing the look on her face, she wondered if she'd stung a wound.

Charles was lost in the idea... "No...we'll guard the door...and Morgan will be there to lend a hand...soldiers at the ready...it could work! I mean...I'd spare you two from actually physically holding her...sweet Mother of God she'd kill you!" Will laughed, but then realised he spoke the truth and coughed nervously, "We could trick her? Just have her walk in and then..." He waved his hands in a rather Jack-esque manner... "I now declare you Sir and Lady Turner...?" Charles laughed loudly. "Wishful thinking....Lady O'Mally." Will blushed.
~~
Victoria flinched, and her face darkened. She looked sad, angry and fearful all at the same time... "James..." she repeated his name, "He doesn't call himself that anymore. He's Captain Hook now. He lost his hand in some accident. He worked for my father and he...well...he and I...nevermind. I went to France..." she trailed off, lost in regret.

Jack couldn't help but grin. "Ironic how you are so very in love with her and yet you're the only one out of all of us who hasn't ha-" Jack coughed mid-sentence and quickly changed the subject, "So yes, umm, or combination of both? I mean we'll trick her into just walking in, she won't think we're that stupid, and there you have it, if she catches on, she's pretty much trapped anyway...of course this could all go terribly wrong if she does catch on and then chooses to fight..."
~~
Evelyn leaned forward a little, "You and he...?" she probed on, "You had a relationship with him? And not everything went according to plan?"
