Hope Keeps Us Moving [PRIVATE]

[Question]

The pirate blinked a few times, dissapointed. He turned to his crew, "Put her in the cellers. Search her, take her jackets and anything warm from her for the night."

[changa]

"What?" She cursed him, but did not fight when the men took her down to the cellars. She had to save those eggs. If that's what they really were. But what would she do?

[Question]

The men yanked her jacket off, threw it in a container of rum - to make sure she wouldn't seek its warmth in the night, and left while locking the door. Well, at least they left the rum.

Philip looked towards Syrena, "we have to sneak on the ship."

[changa]

Angelica let out a breath, relieved. Well, the eggs were in a liquid. And they hadn't been stolen.

Syrena nodded slowly. "Okay. Let's go,"

[Question]

Philip wondered if he should comment on her cowardness she had shown before, but he best not now. He swam towards the boat.

Shortly after, the Pirate came back in the room, with a mug. He brushed Angelica's jacket aside and poured himself a keg.

[changa]

"What do you want?" she growled.

Syrena grabbed the anchor, and using arm muscle alone, began to scale it. Her legs soon formed, and she was climbing swiftly. But she was cold.

[Question]

'Just some rum, " The pirate camly explained. "And to talk."

Philip climbed shortly after Syrena, but very slowly. Mermaids were stronger after all.

[changa]

"About what?" she spat.

When Syrena was at the top, she looked down. "Need help?"

[Question]

The pirate grinned, "I was hoping if you knew anything about that mermaid you had claimed you'd captured on the trip to the fountain of youth. I was looking to slay her." He was a mermaid slayer, and that was his main occupation.

Philip smiled, "Yes."

[changa]

She giggled. She swiftly climbed down, and held out a hand. She began to slowly climb, with him grabbing footholds on the anchor. Then they were both at the top, Syrena shivering.

"I don't know what happened to her," she said simply. "Maybe died in the wreckage of the fountain,"
