Tsunami Kate

[Capt. Sterling]

A regular pleasure yacht she be, what?

[Red Cat Jenny]

Too kind sah...too kind..

may I have another slice of Key Lime? and perhaps some hot tea with lemon.

[Jacky Tar]

"A pleasure yacht? She's been on dry land fer sometime..."

I spy an open table near the fire, an seat me self.

[William Brand]

A good inn caters to that comfort that one seldom finds outside of one's own bed, or one's mother's kitchen and one's grandmother's parlor all rolled into one. Me make patrons into kings and queens here, but with less ceremony.

[Capt. Sterling]

Ah Mr. Tar, but what else can one compare her too? Surely no ship of the line nor working sloop can equal such frivolities. But an idler's yacht equipped for all too much comfort...now there be a horse of a similar colour...

**shudders thinking of the bill at the end of one's stay**

[William Brand]

The Tsunami Kate is a strange and wonderful diadem set among the rough stones of La Desirade. A crown jewel with a holy stoned luster that only an innkepper and a seven times Captain can truly appreciate.

[Jacky Tar]

"Ships are compared t' women, why not the Kate (she bears a woman's name). The Kate offers things conducive to pleasure and comfort, as well as food an drink. Aye, she is woman."

[William Brand]

Possessed of secrets, grace, allure and charm in equal portions.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Miss Ashcombe smiles a knowing smile and pates the fine patina of the old gerls walls..

"agreed gentlemen...agreed"

Ah then that explains it... being captain only once of one fine vessel, tis hard for me to see an inn but for what it is, a means to an end.... still the food is grand and the company grander yet.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Aye Sterling count yerself among that grande company

[Silkie McDonough]

Silkie enters, Serves herself from the soup that simmers over the fire. Seats herself nearby and enjoys the peace.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Miss Ashcombe brings Silkie a bowl of crusty warm bread to go with the soup

[Silkie McDonough]

mmmmmmmmmmm ....thanks

[Black Syren]

Just taken me iron..feeling a wee bit queasy...Do we have garlic bread? Or any bread..just something to nibble on...

[Silkie McDonough]

Silkie hands some of the "warm crusty bread" that Jenny gave her to Syren.

[William Brand]

Too little Iron?

Then I shall make you some spiced carrot and lentil soup and a loaf of malt bread.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Add some good red meat and Bok Choi

strong brewed tea

and the pie is fresh and hot

Blueberry tonight

[Black Syren]

Thanks Silkie for the bread, smiles graciously at her captain, eyes Jenny's new offers and arches a brow then sees the pie..

"Desert first?"

[William Brand]

We do not stand on ceremony here concerning the order of food. Dessert it is.

[Black Syren]

Good cause I havenever had blueberry pie afore..though I am fond of Cherry...hmm i have not even had a Plunder me Cherry for a while..me thinks I have need of one...

[William Brand]

You've never had blueberry pie...?

The Tsunami Kate goes quiet within and without. The fiddler stops mid draw, the note souring. Only the fire can be heard as a single log pops on the hearth.

[Black Syren]

Blushes and squirms...'Nay I have not...it seems there are a lot of things I have yet to do. Me thinks perhaps I should refind me rock..."

[William Brand]

William looks about at the hushed patrons and fixes the fiddler with a stern look. "Play."

"Don't worry, we'll get you a whole pie and a comfortable chair. You have a lot of catching up to do."
