He nodded as she spoke and smiled when she complimented the rum. "This is not the fine alcohol you are used to that's why you are saying it. What do you think is part of the goods that we stole from your town? Its the good quality wine", he said. "I was surprised that you didn't hesitate to kill that unarmed man. It was a test really to see if you would object... and you didn't. Thank you."

Anna smiled "I like it...its hard and strong. Not like the yuppy wine they have at all the parties i went to. I hate that stuff irs too sweet." She said getting up and walking to the window and looking at the sea. Not looking at him she spoke "why did think i wouldnt kille him?" She then turned to face him and ran a hand through her firey red hair.

A smile crossed Julian's face. He picked up the glass of rum and looked at it for a while before saying, "I am just used to it that I can't even taste it anymore. Part of the reason we raid the ports is for the liquor. I had to start drinking this since my teenage years because I didn't have any water." He drank a big gulp of it and kept it down of the table and looked at Ana or Morgan.
He leaned back in his chair and watched her for a while. "I will tell you what might happen tonight. There is going to be a mutiny against me... because of you. They would want your body for their pleasure and I will refuse. I will be given a choice between you or my post as captain..."

Anna looked at him and sat down by his rum taking a sip from it and set it down before speaking. "and what will you choose? I will say this before you make a choice. I do not care what choose. If it the ship you want a will leave and will never see me again. I most likely make a crew of my own. If you choose me well then...the choice is yours to with me what you wish." Anna got up and looked at the window and out at the sea.

He smiled slowly and looked up at her, "Haven't you been listening Anna? They are not going to mutiny against me to free you... they want you. And they will not let you go till you have had enough and committed suicide. And there is no question of what I will choose. I will choose you." He had said it simply and added after a pause, "I have gone through more than you know and I know what you will go through and I cannot let that happen. I am human enough still know what is right from wrong."
He got up after that, a bit frustrated at her last suggestion and walked to the table and started arming himself with his weapons. "What do you take me for Anna? You think all I want is your body? Do you realize how long it had been since I had someone I could just talk and not be expected to order them around?"

When he spoke about the crew wanting her she just simply let him speak. But when he said that theres was no question as to what he would choose she was expecting him to say his ship and crew. When he said that she was his choice her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a warm feeling in her heart. Anna turned to face him her green eyes sparkling "are you telling me that you dont just want my body? That is the first time any man has told me that. I've never met a man brave enough to take his crew or senoirity of a group of people for me. All my life..." Anna walked away from him and put her belt and sword on. "All my life I've been an object of lust...i pretty face... a trophy finance/ girlfriend. Never in my life have i ever heard someone" she turned to him "say to me that the like me for me." Anna was now inches away from his body her green eyes looking up at him.

He turned around and looked at the girl with surprise. He smiled after a while and said, "You aren't a pirate, you are just a nice girl who has lost her way and is scrambling for anything that would hold her in a path, away from her life so far. I understand that. I was innocent once and I probably would have hesitated to kill someone even if he meant me harm...", he paused and looked away, "...but no more."
He watched her as she approached him and stood near him. She looked so vulnerable and so beautiful at the same time. She had dropped her guise of Morgan and was now the Anna he had seen on the port before. He stepped back, almost to prove his point that her body was not he wanted, and said, "Well, I am not brave, more foolish really. But I do what I must do so I can live with myself. And because of this, I might not live long enough to get you off the ship."

Anna smirked "One who says i want off this ship? Two who says i cant help you stay alive. After all you saw how good i am with a gun and im also very skilled with a sword." She said unsheathing her sword and getting ready to fight him. "Shall i challenge you to prove it?" She said with a smirk her Morgan side showing once more.

He unsheathed his sword and held in along his arm in a back hold in front of him. He had no intention to attack her but it would be worth seeing what exactly she was capable of with the sword. He smiled and nodded, "Whenever you are ready... Anna." He had thought to himself not to call her Morgan when they were alone. He didn't want her to forget completely the manners that had been taught to her by her parents. He had forgotten, and nobody referred to him as Julian anymore, not even Doc who was probably the only one beside him who knew his real name.

Anna smiled and readied her self for dual. She lunged forward towards Julian with her sword care full not to get him and just hit his sword. She then let him have turn the dual went on Anna was improving after every move she made. She was very good with a blade and blade for that matter but this one in particular. The dual went on for what seamed like hours the whole time Anna smile on her face. SHe would occasionally dodge his moves by jump into the air or on a chair. Her very last move she accidentally cut him on his arm.
Anna bit her lip and smiled weakly "oops" She said with a small giggle "geuss i got to carried away there." She said blushing.

Julian realized pretty fast that Anna was better than he had thought. He had to change his grip back to normal between two blows to handle the strikes properly. She was fast and skilled with the sword. He smiled as they went on. He even struck back at her sword knowing now that she could handle it. He was surprised by her last move and her sword slipped off his and grazed his arm a little. He looked at her as she smiled and apologized. "No worries, I have had worse. Its just a scratch. You are very good with the sword as well."
His smile dissapeared when he heard the door being kicked violently. On the second blow, it broke and a few of the senior crew member entered the chambers with swords drawn and a few aiming their guns at the two inside. Brent gave him an evil grin and spoke, "Captain, I am taking over. Yer no longer in command and we want her too."
Julian knew this would come sooner of later. Instead of fighting, he sheathed his sword, moving in front of Anna and motioned for her to sheath hers as well. He turned to Brent and spoke, "Unless you plan to have the crew halved, you will take my offer for a peaceful trade Brent. I will give you the command if you let us off the ship."

Anna smiled and blushed "thanks, your not so bad your s--" She was cut off by the door breaking open. She readied her sword for a fight and was not afraid to fight the crew. She glared at the crew ready for a fight when she heard Brent ask for her as well her glare grew stronger and the grip on her sword as well. When Julian stepped in front of her told her sheath her sword her glare turned to a look of surprise was he actually protecting her from his crew? Anna did as she was told and sheathed her sword but she did not let go of it for she knew that crew would not handle the captains offer with out a fight. Her hand hovered over her swords hilt her fingers occasionally twitched and touched the sword.
"No offense captain but do you really think your crew will go for a trade like that. My guess is they're not taking over the ship with out a fight or with me as their...personal wench to use how as the please." She whispered in his ear she gaged a bit at the last part of her sentence. She then noticed the doctor in the angry mob of a crew. "Doc? You too?" She asked her eyes big and confused.

His eyes travelled to Doc standing in the middle of the group, not looking very pleased with how everything that was happening. But he was a pirate and he understood that they would have killed him if he hadn't gone along with them. He raised a hand to tell Anna to shut her mouth. He really couldn't explain the reason for Doc being there. She hadn't been a pirate long enough to know the reason for a decision like that.
He didn't have to be told that Brent wasn't going to stand there and take the deal so easily. But he also knew that he knew what Julian was capable of and might kill more than half the crew if he didn't take this deal. The other less convinced were already beginning to look at him as if wishing he wouldn't order them to go against the Croc.
Brent laughed loudly and started clapping, "I admire yer courage my old cap'n. You are right, I do know why they call you the Croc so I will take that deal. So she goes free with you. It's going to be the plank for both of you, no boat. You accept the terms. Julian's face was grim but his eyes never left Brent. He nodded then added, "But not in the open sea, close to the rocky isles..." Brent seemed to consider this for a while and spoke, "Done, no one is to touch the girl. See that neither of them leave this chamber." He ordered and the mob retreated back and they could feel the ship changing course.
Julian turned to Anna and said with a sad voice, "Don't fall asleep tonight..." and walked of to the window in the back, looking out at the dark sea behind them.

Anna glared at Julian's hand as told her be quiet but she knew it was for her own good. Her glare once again turned to a look of surprise as she heard Brent take the deal just like that. She wiated for the man to close the door and watched as they guarded it. Her gaze followed Julian to the window she walked up next to him and spoke "why did you get in front of me like that?" She asked looking out at the sea.

He kept quiet as he tried to answer the obvious question, "There are times to fight and that was not a time to fight. He knew me well enough to know I would never give you up. If I fought, he knew, it would do neither me nor him any good as a lot of good sailors would die and I would be dead. He is a seaman but he is smarter than he looks. Even before he stepped through that door, he knew this is how it would be played."
He turned to look at Anna and smiled. "I feared this would happen since the moment I found you on board. Doc is going along with them because if he hadn't they would have killed him. A pirate watches out for himself and this is one of the reason he has survived till now. I don't hold it against him... and neither should you."
