Will was stood at the helm, and pretended to admire something in the sky as he heard muffled bangs below the deck. He flashed a smile in reply to the puzzled looks he recieved from crew members. He sighed contentedly as they sailed onwards.

This was his doing. Ooooh that's it, war it is! "WILLIAM TURNER GET YER TIGHT A*SE DOWN HERE NOW!" She banged the door with her fists until they were numb and throbbing.
~~
James glanced around the deck, and noticed Reginald's somewhat glaring gaze, he raised an eyebrow quizzically as the young man quickly looked away. He brought out his telescope, observing the other two ships.

Noticing that the crew were starting to look concerned, Will gave another polite smile and hurried below. He stopped outside her door, from which emerged her bangs and protests.
He coughed loudly.
"Yes...?"
~~
Reginald sulked moodily and huffed, flipping a coin he'd found in his pocket in the air. With a plop he watched it fall into the ocean below. That was just his look. He threw another dark look in the Commodore's direction before stamping below deck.

There was a loud thud as Evelyn gave another angry punch, "Open the bl**dy door." Her voice was deep and threatening.
~~
James blinked, a little bemused by his behaviour. That time he was sure he was glaring at him...

"Why would I do that when you are in such a temper?" Will reasoned with her, "And I'm not opening the door until..." he paused, thinking, "Until I believe you are truly...in a clear state of mind." He nodded to himself. "This is really for your own good Evelyn."
~~
Groves was at the Commodore's side..."Any problem Sir? You look...puzzled?"

Evelyn growled, "That's not your choice. What right do you have to lock me in my room?! I swear to God I will maroon yer a*se on some God forsaken island..." she hit the door again, "Open this door now, that's an order."
~~
James shook his head, "No nothing...I just, I'm quite certain that I'm on the receiving side of Reginald Frain's disdaining looks. And I can't recall any reason as to why he would."

Will bit his lip. He coughed again and tried to sound as serious as he could.
"No. Not until I feel like it. Think of it as revenge for your very poor treatment of me when we first met...and I'll let you out when I am satisfied that you've calmed down and will be...reasonable to talk to. Goodbye." He snatched the key out of the lock and left, though he hesitated to hear her reply.
~~
Laughing heartily, Groves clapped his friend on the shoulder...
"James, it's fairly obvious. The Duchess was watching you earlier, didn't you see? And all DuFrain could do was watch her watch you. He's jealous, with every reason to be...she's bloody gorgeous..."

There was no reply. Simply silence. A waiting game, eh? Very well. Don't be so soon to talk of revenge. She raised an eyebrow and sat on a chair by the door. Waiting.
~~
James set out a nervous laugh, "Looking at...me? Whatever for Groves?" Surely she didn't...she wasn't...no! Of course not, that would be...well it would be rather lovely.

Will crept back to the door and pressed an ear against it. She'd gone quiet. He hoped she hadn't done anything stupid. He was worried now. Kneeling down, he peeked silently through the keyhole. He could see her outline...seated...by the door...
~~
"Commodore. If a woman like that stared at me all day long I wouldn't ask about it..."Groves grinned..."It'd be bloody marvellous!! And I certainly wouldn't be here above deck...if you know what I mean..." He laughed and gave a cheeky wink before picking up a telescope to scan the horizon.

Evelyn didn't say anything. It was still silent...for a while, then there was a sniff, and a quiet cry, 'Oh...'. The sniffing continued, and occassional gasps.
~~
James' cheeks went pink, and he turned away, took a step and muttered with shock, "Groves!". Was he right? He hadn't even noticed her looking at him, but then she had been...rather friendly. She'd even kissed him, but he'd dismissed it as...well, he didn't even think that she 'liked' him...

Will looked worried. He stood up straight...
"Evelyn?" he asked quietly...

She didn't reply, and the crying simply got a little louder, she managed to mumble something, it sounded like 'you don't care' but wasn't quite clear.
~~
James made his way below deck. There was some paper work in his cabin he should really take a look at before arriving at London...

Will fished the key out of his pocket. He glanced at it, then at the lock. Sighing he unlocked the door and peeped in...
~~
Reginald was stood in a doorway below deck, still sulking. He gave the Commodore a menacing look as he passed him. Victoria was perched on a box nearby, examing a book she'd found from somewhere, though the poor light below made it difficult to read. Tutting, she shut it and looked up to see to two men together...

She seized the opportunity in a flash, grabbing him and throwing him to the ground. "You b*stard! How d'yer like me now?!" She straddled him and tried to open his hand, in which he was tightly holding the key.
~~
James narrowed his eyes at Reginald and brushed passed him. Then he saw Victoria and swallowed thickly. He smiled uneasily and walked to his cabin.

Will gripped the key in his hand and kicked his legs out. With all his strength he flipped over, so it was him on top of her and he flicked the key out of his hand and out into the corridor so he could use his limbs to hold her down as she flew at him...
"That...was...a dirty....trick..." he gasped as he struggled to hold her and not lose an eye. Herl egs still thumped against his back.
~~
Victoria stood and with a little smile, followed the Commodore...
