"Proper?"
Victoria looked affronted. She'd never been refused by anyone. She took a little step back...
"Can a girl not thank a very handsome gentleman for his kindness....and express her gratitude in a..." she paused and put a hand on one hip..."physical manner?" She waited for his reply, her dark eyes penetrating his.

James frowned a little, realising he'd offended her. He considered what to say, "Not in such physical ways no..." He wasn't ready to deal with such mannerisms...had she forgotten all of her courtly etiquettes whilst kidnapped by pirates?

She bit her lip and looked away.
"Oh." She took a step back and sat down in a chair, her dress rustling. Pouting a little she sighed.
"I've been cooped up with bloody pirates so long..." she tried not to think of Jack and how much she missed him..."I haven't had anyone decent to talk to in weeks...without rum always being involved..." She stood. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." She placed a hand on his chest again and gave a weak little smile..."You're a very fine man James Norrington...I shouldn't forget myself..."

James was glad she took it well. "No I understand." he smiled, "And thank you..." He took her hand and kissed it, not as a polite gesture, but with affection. "I'm sure you'll remember."

She smiled at him and then laughed...
"I have to say..." she fiddled with her hair again and grinned wickedly..."nobody has ever said no to me before. I don't know whether to be offended or to commend your efforts."
She gave a little curtsy before turning to leave, but not before flashing another naughty smirk.

As soon as she closed the door he gave out a sigh of relief, it certainly was an effort. He turned back and readied himself for bed, hopefully he would get some sleep.
The night drew on slowly. The sea was calm, and as the skies lightened, the crew began to stir...

Will awoke on Evelyn's bed, still gripping her scarf. He sat up quickly, realising he was still alone. She hadn't returned to bed last night. Alarmed, he scurried out of the room and scanned below the ship quickly. He poked his head above deck. Not seeing her there, his heart jumped into his throat. He knew how vulnerable she was, what with Rory's death...and he hoped she hadn't done anything stupid.
He went to his own room and flung open the door. Flash of green. Jack in his bed, asleep. And her beside him. He whipped his sword out and pointed its sharp blade beneath Jack's chin.

Jack groaned a little and opened his eyes slowly. He raised an eyebrow, "What the...?" he looked up to see Will, "Morning to you too mate, what's with the-" as he started to sit up, he realised he wasn't alone in bed, oh...right. He closed his eyes with a guilty look on his face, "Look...we'd had a lot to drink and...both not feeling too...it happened but I...oh b*gger, I'm sorry mate...I truly am..."
Evelyn stirred a little, she rolled onto her back and opened her eyes. She frowned a little and then saw Jack beside her, oh she hadn't...she peered down under the sheet, she had. Then she felt a jolt as she realised Will was standing right by the bed, looking not too pleased about the situation. Sh*te.

Will looked vaguely like he was chewing a wasp...
"So your girl ran off back home with the soldier boy and you decided to come and have a go with mine...?" He lifted the tip of his sword so it just touched his skin. "Get. Out."

Jack frowned, "It wasn't exactly planned Will, you know I wouldn't d-"
"Your's?" Evelyn narrowed her eyes a little, "I'm sorry, I didn't realise I belonged to you." She turned away and threw the sheet off, grabbing her shirt and slipping it on. She couldn't deal with this cr*p.
Jack looked away, feeling terribly uncomfortable. He really hadn't meant for Will to get hurt. Perhaps he could just slip away?

Will swang his sword in her direction...
"You're not going anywhere Evelyn..." he lowered it a little, "And no, you're not mine...you don't belong to me. You don't belong to anyone and you lock yourself out from everyone. You couldn't even commit to Rory and for our sins we hve nearly died, far too many times. I refuse to allow it to happen again, to you, or to me."
He dropped his sword and grabbed her by both arms, shaking her slightly...
"Are you listening to me?" he was shouting, "Do you not trust me? You know I adore you...I don't make any claims on you...but for God's sake..." he paused and licked his lips..."You have made mistakes and I have watched you make them...I have made errors too...but we can save ourselves, if you let me help you!! I know you need someone, you can pretend all you like, you can seek comfort in anyone's arms but I know inside you are in pain....and so am I. Let us help each other..." He trailed off...

As they moved away, Jack swiftly put his clothes on and stood well away from the pair.
Evelyn lifted her head, "I already did, you just weren't here. Such is life. Move on." She strapped her belt across her trousers, "And as for your little judgements and observations..." she slapped him across the face, "...you do not know anything about me, especially about my personal life."

Will slapped her back.
"I know more than you think. I know you. And I wasn't there....because I thought you would want to be alone. I didn't expect you to want anyone after Rory had died." There. He said it bluntly.
"Have you no respect for him? Even if you have no feelings for me...and you bloody well know that I WOULD have been there if you'd bothered to look for me and not leap into the arms of the first man you find!" He was still holding onto her firmly, breathing heavily with anger, his hair beginning to fall loose, sweat forming above his lips...

Jack managed to slip out the door and made his way straight to the galley to find bottles of anything he could get down his throat.
Evelyn shrugged, "You obviously don't know me then." She shoved him off. She'd never seen him like this before, he was actually...passionate, and not acting like an English p*nce. She had nothing more to say to him and headed for the door.

His hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. He pulled her back against him and held her head between his hands. Sighing, with a hint of a growl he spoke lowly in her ear...
"I think I do know you...I hope by now I do know you. If only I could push some sense into your head Evelyn...perhaps you should open your eyes and look what you have, and appreciate what you have lost, and not try and numb the pain you feel with love....with lust."
His face was so close to hers, his breathing was heavy but subdued...then he let go of her and left the room.
