"Why can't you sleep in your own cabin...Victoria's there isn't she? Very unlike you to not be in your cabin when there is a woman there..." Will smirked, "And you can't sleep in my cabin. Evelyn might be there. And she doesn't want to see anyone." He frowned seriously.

"Precisely why, she is not there..." He swayed a little, "Evelyn might be in your cabin?" he smiled a little, "Doubt it mate, but suit yourself...I'll find it..." he pointed a finger.
And with that, he stumbled downstairs, asking where his cabin was.

Will rolled his eyes and followed Jack...
"Jack...Jack!"
~~
Reginald was babbling away with numerous naval soldiers, all laughing jovially. Victoria, perched in a doorway, sighed. As the ship sailed farther away from the Pearl....away from Jack, the more sick she felt.

Jack swung open the door. The room was empty, he stumbled in and threw himself onto the bed. He let out a sigh of relief, "Now b*gger off..."
~~
James approached Victoria, "Everything alright?" he asked with genuine concern. Perhaps she was hungry..."Dinner will be ready shortly, you can...you can dine with me in my cabin if you like."

Will peeked in through the door. "I've never seen you like this Jack." He paused. "Actually I have....I've seen you drunk quite a lot. But....not miserable drunk. What's the matter?"
~~
Victoria looked up at his kind face. "Fine. Thank you. That would be...lovely." She looked away quickly. The Pearl was a dot in the sky, and though in the company of a fine man, she missed another.

"Nothing. Bad rum. B*gger. Off." He wasn't in the mood for a comfort talk...he just wanted, well, he didn't really know what he wanted.
~~
James could sense she wasn't in her best mood. "Well, I shall see you there in half an hour then." he nodded and walked to the helm.

Sighing, Will went to leave..."Fine. But don't drown your sorrows. We've nearly drowned once today. And if you're so bloody miserable, do something about it." He bumped into Alex on his way out and headed back to the helm. The horizon was clear. They were on their way...

Jack waved his hand to dismiss him. He turned over and groaned, letting himself drift into sleep.
The skies darkened and time passed by quietly...
Jorge sat with Will, they'd been talking for a while now. "But you chose to come to Ireland, why? You don't want to go home?"

"I don't really have a home...well I did. Port Royal...but since the day I left I haven't wanted to turn back...I've wanted to stay here with Evelyn. Even if she doesn't want me with her, or need me...I'll still be here. And I think it is right that we all say farewell to Rory. He sacrificed himself for us...though we didn't get on well at first, I have respect for him." He smiled a little, and fiddled with his pistol.

The waves gently crashed onto the side of the ship. Somebody above deck was playing music. It was certainly much calmer than it had been...
Jorge nodded, "Yes true..." he smiled a little, "You would be good for her. You want to be with her, no?"

He shrugged.
"Yes. And No. I don't think I've loved or admired a woman more...but I wouldn't want to be with her if she didn't want me here. So I'm here now, whilst she grieves. And then when reach Ireland...I'll stay if she wants, or leave and go to Glasgow maybe..." Will put his pistol away and sighed.

Jorge scratched his stubble, "Right...well, best you get some sleep. Why don't you take my room, I'll be at the wheel anyway." he smiled and got up.

Will left the helm and headed below. He paused in the doorway to watch the moon rise in the sky. The night was cool. Dusk. The storm and terror of the day still played on his mind but exhaustion was taking over his body, but knowing Jack was spread eagle snoring on his bed put him off going there to get some rest. Still, he headed into the depths of the ship...
~~
Victoria was in the Commodore's cabin, resting in one of his chairs, her head leaning against a soft cushion. Reginald floated about nearby, studying maps on the wall, commenting now and then on something. Sighing, Victoria smiled blandly at his blathering.

Evelyn wiped away her tears, sniffing and gulping down excessive amounts of whiskey. Having not let herself find some comfort with Will, she'd turned to drinking until she felt nothing. But now she wanted to feel...something, not the pain but...but something. "Oh don't be stupid..." she put the bottle down. What harm could it do? He obviously liked her, not like there was nothing between them. I guess that's actually what made in difficult. No, no why not?
She stumbled out of her cabin and made her way to Will's. For a moment she paused and thought of going back, then knocked on the door and burst in babbling, "Look, I just want one night, alright? And you're..." she saw Jack on the bed and looked confused, "...not Will."
She shut the door, sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. Jack opened his eyes and groaned, "Oh I said b*gger off..." Evelyn raised an eyebrow, "Oh fine..." Sitting up quickly, he took hold of her arm, "Sorry I thought...what are you doin' here? I mean he had said that I c-" he was interrupted. Evelyn pulled him into a rough kiss. Jack mumbled, "Oh, ok well...err..." he didn't stop though, he kissed her too. He pushed her back onto the bed and undid the buttons of her shirt.
~~
James arrived at his cabin and nodded to Victoria, she didn't seem any happier. Then he saw Reginald, "Reginald Frain?"
The table was already set, and dinner was being brought in.

Reginald span and gave a little bow and a smile...
"Commodore, mark my words the King will know of your kindness to us...myself, and her Grace...we are most grateful. Oh look Victoria! Food....good food and not...rum." The man sat down and was practically drooling as food was placed before him.
Victoria looked up and smiled at her companion, and then at the Commodore...
"Honestly Reginald, it's like you've not eaten in weeks. I however, haven't actually eaten in weeks. Rum is not a suitable diet. I apologise for his manners Commodore...." she paused and delicately picked up a strawberry from a dessert platter..."James..."
Reginald watched awe struck. Victoria fascinated him. She could seduce a tree.
