While some of the crew danced with whatever pretty girl caught their fancy and would give them the time of day, others enjoyed the local cuisine and were busy drinking themselves into what was sure to be a hangover tomorrow. Rei, meanwhile, seemed more content to observe than actually participate and why not? There were few things in the world that could content her more than seeing her crew happy and the peaceful atmosphere was a nice change for once. Not that the crew hadn't attempt to drag their captain in on their fun, but the result was always the same as she shooed them back to their fun and went back to nursing some colorful drink with fruit and rum in it. Then again, Rei had never possessed the strongest defenses against alcohol, tending to concede only when she managed to find some sweet blend with a much lower alcohol count than most. In this manner, the Captain could enjoy the crew without getting to intoxicated and at least in appearance, drink with them. She had a tendency to get into enough trouble while sober, alcohol was rarely required for the pirate to find herself in hot water, but Rei also knew the importance of keeping morale up and maintaining the appearance of unity as a crew. It was worth it, even if it meant she was going to have one heck of a hangover in the morning. Soon noticing the drink was empty and finishing off the slices of the fruit, the Captain rocked upward onto her heels and started towards the bar with a smile, seeing no point interrupting the crew for such trivial matters. "Ne, Barkeep? Some more bottles of rum and another glass of the house drink, if you don't mind." Rei explained with a cheerful smile, earning a nod from the old man, who was quick to oblige the well-mannered Captain. Of course, piracy was good business. As long as they paid off their tab and didn't break to much, a person could make a small fortune in catering to the passing crews of pirates. After a few minutes, the barkeep returned with another glass filled with fruit and decorated with some native flower from the island, earning a faint smile and nod in thanks as she turned around and leaned lightly against the wooden counter top. She probably should have stopped with the first few drinks, but nights like this... maybe a hangover in the morning was worth it. Besides, the Captain had a certain weakness for anything sweet or remotely resembling the taste of sugar and these were some really, really good drinks. She also had another weakness, one that managed to grab her attention from the corner of her eyes as she lingered at the bar. He was tall, blonde, and his physic was more than apparent, even to the pirate. Unlike most of the tavern's patrons though, this one didn't Normally, Rei would have been smart enough to leave the matter well enough alone or at the very least, attempt to avoid trouble. However, alcohol only tended to make a problem worse and that was especially true for the Captain. "You don't look like your having much fun... That's not good. It's such a beautiful night, too." Rei spoke calmly, more in observation as a faint smile crossed her face as she moved along the bar to where she could take a seat next to him. "How about you put the next drink on my tab? I hate to see a good looking man drinking alone." She suggested sweetly, the hints of flirtations apparent as the Captain settled onto the bar stool. | [atrb=style, padding:10px; width:115px; background-color: #000000;][atrb=valign,top] [style=background-color: #111111; background-attachment: scrolling; height:100px; width:100px; padding:5px; border: 1px solid #FF6699;]  [/style][style= border-bottom: 1px solid #FF6699; text-transform: lowercase;]WORDS[/style][style= text-align:right; background-color: #111111; padding-right:2px;]645[/style] [style= border-bottom: 1px solid #FF6699; text-transform: lowercase;]TAGGED[/style][style= text-align:right; background-color: #111111; padding-right:2px;]David (Invite)[/style] [style= border-bottom: 1px solid #FF6699; text-transform: lowercase;]NOTES[/style][style= text-align:right; background-color: #111111; padding-right:2px;]None.[/style] |
