Demolished Dates And Amorous Altercations

Re: Demolished Dates And Amorous Altercations

Cassian gritted his teeth at Yrsa’s comment. Narrow-minded? Not exciting enough? He felt his blood sizzle on the inside. Who did this woman think she was, speaking to him like that? In such a tone? The feeling that he somehow liked the fact that she stood up to him, he pushed far away and tried to ignore it. He lifted his brows and leaned a little closer over the table. “Careful with your words, little dove,” he hissed. He thought she probably would not at all like to be called something like that, which was exactly why he said it. “You might be good with them, seeing as you’re working for a paper, but say the wrong words, to the wrong people, and you’ll get yourself in trouble.” He grinned a nasty grin at her before backing away again, slouching in the bench he was sitting on. “Did it ever occur to you, that gathering information for the good of all pirates worldwide, may be also with some great risk?" She asked. Cassian rolled his eyes. “Oh, I’m sure that’s the case, Yrsa-darling. But I was merely talking about the rogue life at sea. Don’t you miss the brutality? The fighting? Judging from the fact you’re so quick to pull out those axes of yours only shows me that writing might not be as... suited for you as being a regular pirate.” He sighed and flicked a non-existent piece of dust from his white shirt.

Yrsa saw anger grow inside Cassian. He lifted his brows and leaned a little closer over the table. "Careful with your words, little dove," he hissed. "You might be good with them, seeing as you're working for a paper, but say the wrong words, to the wrong people, and you'll get yourself in trouble." He grinned a nasty grin at her before backing away again, slouching in the bench he was sitting on. Yrsa was offended by the fact that he called her little dove. However, she was not going to give him the pleasure of pulling her axe at him. "Oh, I know all about the trouble, captain. Yet, I do not think you really intend to hurt me. I mean, first of all, you would not win even if you tried for a thousand years, but aside from that you enjoy my presence way to much," Yrsa smiled at him and took a sip of her drink. "Did it ever occur to you, that gathering information for the good of all pirates worldwide, may be also with some great risk?" She asked. Cassian rolled his eyes.

He sighed and flicked a non-existent piece of dust from his white shirt. Yrsa laughed out loud for a sec, but then she realized that what Cassian said was true. She did miss fighting at sea, defending your ship, your home at all costs. "Well, you might be right... What I miss most of all is that I no longer have an actual home. I am just hopping ships, hoping I come across some useful news. " she said leaning forward once again. She felt the hostility drifting away and making place for a more calm mood. However, she new her hostile mood could come back as easily if Cassian kept on trying to draw her anger out.

"Oh, I know all about the trouble, captain. Yet, I do not think you really intend to hurt me. I mean, first of all, you would not win even if you tried for a thousand years, but aside from that you enjoy my presence way to much." Cassian folded his arms and looked at her through squinted eyes. "Cocky too, I see." He sniffed. He did not know whether he hated, or love the way she spoke to him. He kind of though it was the latter, but he would let her notice that, of course. "Altough I wouldn't be too sure of that, if I were you. What if I could eaily beat you? You know what they say about being cocky, don't you?" He raised a brow and smiled a slight smile. "Dine with arrogance, sleep with shame." He winked at her and took another sip of his beer.  

To Cassian's surprise, Yrsa actually admitted to his statement about missing the pirate life. "Well, you might be right... What I miss most of all is that I no longer have an actual home. I am just hopping ships, hoping I come across some useful news." Cassian bit his bottom lip in thought. "Hmm," he murmured. "I get what you're saying, yes. My crew really feels like my family, and my ship is my home. In fact, I actually view my crew as my family. They are everything to me." He, again, downed his drink and waved for the barman to bring him something stronger. "Say, lady Yrsa, why don't you come by my ship once, you can sail with me for a while, fight again, taste the life of piracy once more." He felt the corner of his mouth tug and raised his brow. "I'll even let you sleep in my chambers, if that, too, is something you desire." He grinned playfully at her, as a way of letting her know he was kidding. Although, if she would agree to it, he wouldn't pass it off, obviously.

Yrsa laughed and took another sip of her drink. "Ah, captain, you must know that I am just testing you, as you are obviously testing me," she said and bit her lip while having an enormous grin on her face. "However, you must know, that I do not fear for much, after all the horrors I have experienced," she felt a shiver run all over her body, but she tried really hard to keep it hidden from Cassian. During their first encounter he could not yet know about her horrific past. It would make her come off weak, which she wanted to prefend at all costs. "So, I tend to cross boundries every once in a while. My apology in advance," she winked at Cassian.

"That sounds like a great idea, me travelling with you, captain. However, for me to sleep in you chambers... I will make you work for that a bit more. I do not wish to look anything like the hooker you just scared away before disturbing my date." She winked at him and could not resist playing with the fire of the lit candle again. 

Re: Demolished Dates And Amorous Altercations

Cassian nodded thanks to the barman as he came to bring him a glass of scotch. He immediately took a big sip of it and felt the alcohol make its way down his esophagus. He enjoyed the burn of achohol very much. He enjoyed alcohol in a whole very much. Maybe a little too much. Ah well. What did it matter? He sighed and took another sip. "Ah, captain, you must know that I am just testing you, as you are obviously testing me," Yrsa said, which made Cassian laugh. "Oh, of course you are." He raised his glass at her, in a way of letting her know he respected her for saying that. He liked the fact that she did not back down at all when speaking to him. "However, you must know, that I do not fear for much, after all the horrors I have experienced, so, I tend to cross boundries every once in a while. My apology in advance," she said with a wink at Cassian. "Apology accepted, milady," he crooned. "Would you mind terribly telling me about those horrors... as you call them? You intrigued me." He folded his arms and leaned back a little in his seat. He looked at the woman across from him. He did not know exaclty what to think of her. Usually he could understand how women thought, what they liked to hear, could predict what they were going to say... But with Yrsa Mareritt, however, he could not. Every word from her mouth was something he didn't expect to hear her say. He tilted his head slightly, taking in her features in the low-burning candlelight.

"That sounds like a great idea, me travelling with you, captain. However, for me to sleep in you chambers... I will make you work for that a bit more. I do not wish to look anything like the hooker you just scared away before disturbing my date." Cassian laghed out loud at this comment. "Ah, a challenge," he crooned. "How did you know I love those?" He winked at her and sat up a little straighter. "But all right. Let's then say you come to my ship. I'll sail you around the open sea again, let you fight off scum we find there. And of course," he added. "I'll give you your own chamber. Just know that, if you make up your mind, my door is open to you." He took another big sip of his scotch and smiled contently at Yrsa.

He folded his arms and leaned back a little in his seat. He looked at Yrsa. Yrsa took a few calm breaths and a few sips from her drink before anwsering his request. "Well, the usual. My youth was horrific, than my life got better and once again my whole life went to shit. I mean, my father was an absolute ass, but luckily for me, he sold me to the kindest merchant in the world. He took great care of me, but he got killed. When I got back to our ship, the pirates who took over the ship just threw his body over board. I mean, do not pitty me, I am fine, but I am also just not scared anymore. I mean, what else do I have to lose, right?" she looked away from Cassian. She could put on the tough act, but telling always breaks her heart. However, captain Cassian was not going to see her suffer. "Oh well, most damaged souls are at sea, I am right? You must have a story to, captain." she said, still not looking at him. Instead, she looked at the crowd hanging out in The Tipsy Sailor. 

"That sounds like a great idea, me travelling with you, captain. However, for me to sleep in you chambers... I will make you work for that a bit more. I do not wish to look anything like the hooker you just scared away before disturbing my date." Cassian laghed out loud at this comment. "Ah, a challenge," he crooned.

I would love to sail with you for a while, indulge the fighting and the adventures ahead. I would not mind sleeping in a mammock among the other crew either. I mean, you are captain, I would be just another member of your crew. You should treat me like that as well." she said determined. She did not like getting priviliges of any sort. She may be a woman, but being part of the crew means sleeping in a hammock or even on the floor. She would not mind, she liked being part of the crew. She did not want to be seen as weak, most of the men only make that mistake once. 

Re: Demolished Dates And Amorous Altercations

Cassian payed Yrsa his full attention when she told him her story. She went through a lot. More than anyone should have to go through... He didn't really know how to react. He knew from his own experience that pity wasn't something that you would want to get when you told someone a story like this, but he couldn't help but feel that way a little. "Damn," he said with raied brows. "For fucks sake, when you said horrors, I did not expect somthing like that," he murmured, trying to lighten the mood a little. He took her hand in his and squeezed it shortly, as a way of encourangement and let go again. He didn't want to force this conversation onto her, seeing as she looked quite uncomfortable, avoiding his gaze. "Oh well, most damaged souls are at sea, I am right? You must have a story to, captain." He laughed a joyless laugh. "I'll drink to that, darling," he said sighing, after which he raised his glass and poured the content straight into his mouth. He took the bottle of scotch and filled up his glass. He grabbed another one from the corner of the table, filled one up for Yrsa too and handed it to her while he continued to talk. "Oh well, I do not mean to bore you with stories of my past," he grinned. He was not at all in the mood to talk about his past right now. Mainly because it existed mostly of drunken nights, of which he remembered mostly nothing, spent with women to drown out a feeling he still did not really understand. "Let's move on to a subject of a lighter matter, shall we?" He smiled. "For example the subject of how much of a better date I am than your previous conquest." He raied a brow in amusement.

"In that case, it's a deal. I can take you with me to give you a tour of the ship and introduce you to my crew tomorrow, if you're free. It might be nice to know who you will sleep in one cabin with, if that's what you're aiming for." He chuckled. "I must warn you though.. My men and women have been at sea for quite some time, so you might get overwhelmed by their attention when you come aborad. They haven't seen a beauty like yours in some time." 

Re: Demolished Dates And Amorous Altercations

Yrsa told Cassian about her past, not in detail, but the outlines. The details were to gruesome, even for her, to tell. She saw Cassian struggle with how to react to a story like hers. "Damn," he said with raied brows. "For fucks sake, when you said horrors, I did not expect somthing like that," he murmured. He took her hand in his and squeezed it shortly, as a way of encourangement and let go again. "Oh well, most damaged souls are at sea, I am right? You must have a story to, captain." Yrsa said.

"Oh well, I do not mean to bore you with stories of my past," he grinned. Yrsa smiled at him, shortly. She did not really know why, maybe to let him know it was okay to tell if he wanted to. After that she drank her scotch. She liked the taste of it, unlike most women. However, she was not like most women. "Let's move on to a subject of a lighter matter, shall we?" He smiled. "For example the subject of how much of a better date I am than your previous conquest." He raied a brow in amusement. Yrsa laughed at him. "Well, you are most certainly right about that. The poor lad was an absolute wimp to begin with! He turned pale when I told him about one of my many battles at The Flying Dutchman. You are more a man of substance for sure, as you experienced battles and enjoyed them even." Yrsa raised her glass at Cassian as a gesture of appreciation.

My men and women have been at sea for quite some time, so you might get overwhelmed by their attention when you come aborad. They haven't seen a beauty like yours in some time." Yrsa smiled. "Well, do not flather me, captain. I would love to meet your crew. I do have some time tomorrow. Or infact, I have all the time in the world," she said and leaned back. She studied Cassians looks. A Spanish captain, a strong captain and maybe, in the deepest parts of his soul, he is even a kind-hearted captain. Yrsa was always astonished about what you could read in someones eyes, which made her wonder what he could see in hers. 

Re: Demolished Dates And Amorous Altercations

"Well, you are most certainly right about that. The poor lad was an absolute wimp to begin with! He turned pale when I told him about one of my many battles at The Flying Dutchman." Cassian almost spit his drink back out after he heard her say that. "And that calls himself a captain?" Cassian was still laughing when he shook his head. "Such a disgrace to the title," he sighed drmatically and winked at Yrsa. "You are more a man of substance for sure, as you experienced battles and enjoyed them even." Cassian nodded. "Oh, I sure enjoy a good battle every now and then," he said with a raised brow. "Not too long ago, we had this massive battle with a group of three smaller ships in the open sea. They each were about half the size of my ship, however, they were way faster. They gave us a good fight, for sure." Cassian smiled at the memory of it. "Obviously we blew them to bits after a little while. The game was starting to get boring." He grinned. "One man survived and had the nerve to try and kill me in my sleep. He climbed on board at night, sneaked into my chambers and put a knife to my throat." Cassian let his hand glide over the big scar that ran around his neck. "I captured him, though. I tied him on top of the highest pole, gagged him and let one of my men shred him to bloody ribbons after we starved him for days. He likes to do the killing, that one. Was a convicted murderer before he joined my crew." Cassian took another sip of his drink, this time keeping all the content inside.

"You still like to meet my crew after hearing that story?" he joked. He had a feeling yrsa was not at all afraid of meeting his crew, even after hearing this story. Knowing she had been a pirate herself, he knew she probably came across worse people than that.

Was a convicted murderer before he joined my crew." Cassian took another sip of his drink, this time keeping all the content inside. Yrsa had been listening to Cassians story with great interest. This was exactly how she liked her life to be, full of horrific events. The functioned best on conditions like that. "What a marvelous story you have there! Awesome!" she said and took another sip of her drink. 

"You still like to meet my crew after hearing that story?" he joked. Yrsa laughed. "Are you kidding me? Of course, I would love to. I would love to meet this man as well, I think he is full of wild stories," She was a bit shocked to hear herself talk like that, maybe he would think she was actually crazy or even a psychopath. However, Yrsa knew that Cassian probably would not be shocked about anything anymore.
