Hope Keeps Us Moving [PRIVATE]

[changa]

"Shut up," she said, and cursed him.

Thorne didn't hear her; he was relaxing in his quarters.

"That's enough, Thorne," she said, and stopped. She threw the whip over the side of the ship.

[Question]

Thorne grinned. "We both know you'll never be her real mother."

Ginny eventually fell asleep. The cook came up to Thorne's quarters.

Thorne shrugged, "Throw Ginny overboard, Crew. " He enjoyed this.

[changa]

"I'll be as close as it gets," she sneered.

"Aye?" he called grumpily.

"Leave her alone, Bartholomew Thorne!" she proceeded to curse at him, even though Ginny was right there. "What do I have to do to make you stop?"

[Question]

"She, and you stole her."
"er, how do you want to cook the mermaids?"

Thorne shrugged, "Just finish the whippings, Angelica. " The jacket Angelica had bought Ginny was stained red now..

[changa]

"Pirate," she said, and laughed.

"How would you cook them?"

"The whip is gone," she said, her eyes avoiding Ginny.[/quote]

[Question]

Thorne grinned, "Scum pirate raises a innocent child. I wonder how this will end."

"Well they're rather scrawny..I'd fatten them up but then cook them like swine.." Said the cook.

"Oh, Angelica. There are other things that can be used." Thorne eyed a chain.

[changa]

"It will end well," she said, and took the empty bottle from Ginny. "Are we setting off today?"

"Do what you will, but I doubt they'd eat anything we'd give them. I suppose it's worth a try." Thorne put his hat over his eyes.

She cursed him again. "I'll pay you back three times over," she said.

[Question]

"I don't feel comfortable setting out into dangerous waters with a screaming mermaid baby. "

The cook shrugged. "If only the mothers would comply eh?"

Thorne thought about this, "10 times over and then it will be well." Everybody exept poor Ginny gasped, Angelica would be in debt for most of her life if this went threw.

[changa]

"She only screams when you get too close," Angelica said, "so if you want a quiet baby, stay away."

Thorne dismissed the cook and fell asleep.

"Fine," she said softly, and when Thorne had gone back to work, she rushed to Ginny. "Oh, Ginny, baby," she said, hugging her tight. She didn't care if she got covered in blood; she still had a few lashes anyway.

[Question]

Thorne growled, "Its my ship,Angelica. I can abandon you in this town if I wanted."

Philip came back with a group of men and a canon,he seemed out of breath.

Ginny cried, those rare mermaid tears Angelica had tourtured her mother for now pouring down freely, "Stay away!" She cried.
