Aye sir thank ye. ~Swan goes and gets a cup of coffee with the crew and eats very little.~

Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is; It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is really is freedom.

Good morning, Master Gunner. I have been instructed to meet with you and prepare a small fortification with a few hand chosen cannon down by the cove.

Well, lass. If you need someone to stand about looking irritable, I'm your man. I can scowl down my nose at strangers with distinction.

***********************************************************

*Closing her eyes, she considers William's statement, unconciously pinching the bridge of her nose as a headache makes itself known...*

************************************************************

Beg pardon, I o'er heard yer conversation.... Tempest, r' Ms. Fitzgerald... I suspect ye be wonderin' 'bout th' reported death o' th' first mate, Phil... twas a falsification... he be alive n' well... right, he be alive fer sure...

************************************************************

*Squinting at first note of Dorian's voicing, the small brow furrows in reaction to the facts presented. Rolling her eyes skyward...*

Thundering Jayz...

*Armand advances with the requested decanter of red wine and a goblet, stopping midstep he looks quizzically upon noting the off feeling eminating from his mistress...Advancing further, her fills the goblet and hands it to her.*

Merci beaucoupe, Armand...*She downs the goblet in one pull and hands back for a refill to Armand's startled expression. He fills it and hands back*

Gentleman, what we have here is a finite comedy of errors which has done a fine job of ranckling my patience...a fine job indeed...

*She focuses upon Dorian and William's faces in turn before looking into the depth of the goblet....*

There are days in which you get the bear....and days in which the bear turns the tables...*The second goblet is drained as the first was and shaking her head in disbelief, she hands the goblet back to her Steward. With a nod of acknowledgment, she turns to take her leave...*

A fine mix of confusion...You will excuse me, please?

************************************************************

:: the smile fades from his face as one of the crew comes swaying about on the pier, hails M. Diego and trips over a cask, knocking himself out by running into a piling...::

Well.... an tha' be one o' 'r lookouts...

::rubs face with hand::

Mayhaps this day be shapin' up rather interestin'ly...

:: looks to the Surgeon ::

Temp... Ah, Ms. Fitzgerald... I 'spect tha' lad is in need o' yer speciality... If ye would be so kind?

:: points to two Able Seamen ::

You there! Fetch tha' lad offin' th' dock! Take 'im ta th' sick bay! Be quick about it!

************************************************************

*Hearing the ruckus, she hesitates then looks over the side to the docks below and drops her head with a side to side motion. Looking back to Dorian, she points to a general direction below and amits a heavy sigh*

The table's just turned again, I fear....

Down at the cove...

We'll have this fortification done in no time at all. Aye. However, I do believe we are frightfully short of stones. I'll scout up the beach for rocks of a good size and holler when I need them hauled.

(walks up to the treeline in search of good stones)

Lass, no worries... 'e cracked 'is head... no real damage done....

*weak smile*

All will be well soon enough...

:: nods to her as she head below... walks to the mainmast shrouds, climbs up to the fighting top, shades eyes looking in the direction of the cove set for careening.... pulls out spyglass, extends it and peers at the cove ::

Ah.... I see Th' Master 't Arms' makin' goode progress... might be able ta get th' cannon o'er this a'ternoon from th' look o' it....

Carpenters got a full piece o' work ta do...

Th' crew's been busy wi' paint n' varnish topside...

Plenty o' belayin' pins...

My, tis a fine day.... Ah.. almost fergot about th' compass...

This aught ta do th' job...

Hmmm...... who should I send landside ta get this repaired, 'r should I do it m'self...?

All will be well soon enough...

*Watches Mad Jack and his bearers traverse the deck, overhearing the Quartermaster's sly of comment and tries to stifle a laugh. Composure regained, she turns her attention to him; though the set of expression is formal, the amusment glinting from her eyes betrays thoughts...*

Dorian..., that is to say...Mister Lasseter, I do thank you for your assistance in this matter.

*Her eyes catch his fleetingly before focusing to the bowsprit*

It is my hope that things come down to a dull roar for sanity's sake. Either way, I do think that this evening dictates the need for loose calico clothing and a bottle of dark cane rum to toast the sunset upon its arrival...God knows I could use a dram now, but duty calls....

*She nods to him then turns to gain the Ward and the suprises at hand...*

*Entering the Ward, she glances to Mad Jack and nods dismissal to the two hands...*

Thank you, gentleman...That will be all.

*Gaining Mad Jack's side, she retrieves the smallish spectacles from a coat pocket and begins a gentle, but thorough investigation of the swelling and small laceration gracing his skelp. Backing a pace, she looks over the rounded rims and smiles...*

Well sir...It would seem that you have taken a nasty thump to the cranium, though I have seen far worse. I do not witness any apparent signs of concusion, rather suprising...Although there is a call for sutures...

*She gages his reaction in brief, before continueing...*

I shall put you right as rain and order no excessive labor for the space of four and twenty hour's time to ensure there is no futher repricusion from your tumble....

*Looking to her Steward who waits nearby...*

Un aguille, filament et astringent....non anesthesie, s'il vous plait. Merci, Armand.

:: manages a slight smile despite the throbbing of his head ::

Thank you, Doctor. Glad to hear it's nothing serious. I've been through worse, to be sure. In your able hands, I'm sure I'll be ship shape and Bristol fashion soon enough...

:: catches the look of annoyance creeping into the eyes of the Doctor, and wisely shuts up and lets her continue her ministrations ::

Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
