[You could find him walking from the direction of the showers. Hair wet & washed, new clean clothes, relaxed, and hasn't even gone home yet.]

Comments

[blueondeck]

[Cringes and just frowns. I can feel your body against my arm and I can only blush forever over it. This is just sadistic.]

Why did you wear those shoes then?

[strooonger]

Couldn't find the others. [More like he couldn't chose and went with what looked comfortable.

It ended up being a lie.]

[blueondeck]

[This feels more like a plot against me]

Just ... be careful.

[strooonger]

[I am very much enjoying you blush, I will admit.]

I will. But if you really want, I can let go.

[blueondeck]

I'd rather you did ... but if you need it then I... don't care.

[I'm not going to stop blushing at this rate. ]

[strooonger]

[You're uncomfortable but, just need to see how uncomfortable you are.] Tell me why you go and see Basco so much and I'll let go and walk on my own.

[blueondeck]

At first it was for Marvelous' sake, but that isn't needed anymore.

[strooonger]

Then why are you still around if its not needed?

[blueondeck]

Dunno.

[strooonger]

You just want to?

[blueondeck]

It's what a pirate does.

[strooonger]

[No it's not.] I've never heard of any pirates doing that.

[blueondeck]

What pirates have you heard of?

[strooonger]

Not much other than what Basco has told me but, would a pirate really go to visit a pirate from another crew just because they felt like it?

[blueondeck]

Why not? ... and I don't really visit him.

[strooonger]

It's just what he thinks that two crews don't interact unless it's to attack each other and you just talk to him.

[blueondeck]

If he doesn't want it, he's more than able to say so.

[strooonger]

The way he talks, I think he's just confused on what your intentions are.

[blueondeck]

I don't have any.

[strooonger]

[I'm usually good at reading people but you are a closed up book with your lack of caring and it is annoying me.] Why not?

[blueondeck]

[turns head a little to look at you closely-- wait no backing out a bit. Too close. Blushing lightly again]

Why not?

[strooonger]

Why don't you have any intentions for being around someone like Basco who you're not supposed to like?

[blueondeck]

You know a lot about things I haven't said for someone I only just met.

[strooonger]

Other people have said things before I met you.

[blueondeck]

The things you're suppose to do and the things you end up doing can be different.
