[Just slipping a quick reply in]
Thank God she'd recognised him, because Henry's options had been fast running out and when she had him against the wall, he'd been almost certain Zenobia was just going to kill him and have done with it.
Thankfully she'd recognised him, though she was understandably annoyed about the whole thing. She'd called him 'kid' even though he was nineteen. Well, that was a kid in pirating terms, whether you were captain of a ship or not.
To answer Zeno's question, he replied with "The same as you, trying to get out of here."
He wanted to escape - with a sword, preferably, which is why he was still in this place. It seemed that these two had similar goals in mind.

The smaller man jumped at the deep laugh, surprised that it came from the usually quiet man. It was nice, genuine, and definitely something that he'd want to hear over and over again. He was a bit confused, not seeing the humor in his admission- he'd literally said that he was planning on killing Fletcher, but he still liked the laugh. "At first I thought you were a bit of a... stick in the mud, but I saw a crack and I wanted to see more," He said with a small smile, relaxing as the other pressed his face against his head. "But... before then? Did you ever look twice at me or was it then you became interested?" He asked, wanting to know himself, although he didn't move from where he was, comfortable in his position.

"Is it a gelding, Herr Alaric?" Sylvain replied icily; it was clear that he wasn't nearly amused as the pirate was. "From vhat I heard, you should vait for ze red kaluen."

IC: Chase was confused slightly when Zeno acted like she knew the person, but less then a second after he recognized the man as well and groaned. As he was coming over glyph them he had tightened his grip on his spear just in case, so now he had to force himself to loosen his grip and lower his weapon. "Technically we already escaped, we just had to come back to find Ze-Red's sword," he said. He knew her nickname wasn't a secret or anything, he just figured he wouldn't call her by that until they were friends. Well, if they become friends that is, but he hoped they would.

At the edge in Zenobia's voice, Henry just raised an eyebrow. He suspected her frustration wasn't directed at him, it was because of the difficulty she was having finding her swords.
"I don't need to tell you how I got here," Henry replied simply "I just ran into some trouble, okay? As for why I'm still here..."
He started to head over to the chest of weapons and rummaged around in it until he found a sword. It wasn't one of Zenobia's, it was just a relatively ordinary sword. Henry wasn't picky, he just needed any sword he could get his hands on.
"I didn't want to try leaving without a weapon. I haven't seen your swords, but looking at the dust on some of these weapons, I'd recommend looking over there - the swords in those piles look newer."
He gestured towards a different part of the room, where the weapons looked newer. They'd be more likely to find the swords over there.

Santi blinked in surprise at that- he'd never thought anything of threatening someone larger than him. He'd been doing it for so long that it didn't really seem like anything outnof the ordinary for him, because with his slight stature and feminine looks, many tried to shove him around, intimidate him. Usually they ended up with some kind of scar. "Well, you have to learn to intimidate people in my line of work," he said with a chuckle, before looking at him again, lifting himself just so he could study the others features. "I don't think youre a stick in the mud anymore. Not that I know you now. You have a nice laugh," he added thoughtfully, more talking to himself now, shivering at the kiss on his neck. He bit his lip at that, his attention returning to Fletcher.

IC: Chase smirked at Zeno's plans to blow up the prison. He liked it alright. When the young man started over to a chest of swords Chase immediately pulled out his rapier and faced it at the boy. He didn't trust him whatsoever. He followed him, keeping the sword pointing at him. Now he thought about it, Chase hadn't actually seen Red's swords yet, and he was a little excited to actually see what they looked like.

[little mini reply]
When Chase drew his sword, Henry raised an eyebrow and gave a pointed look at his body and then at Chase. Henry wasn't exactly intimidating and clearly lacked brute strength.
"Somehow I don't think you have to be too concerned. I'm hardly going to be able to overpower you, am I?"

OOC: Quickie from me too.
IC: Chase laughed slightly and shook his head. "I'm flattered, but I still take precautions. I've learnt how to kill a man without brute," he pointed out. He was pretty scrawny himself really, he just hid it with layers of clothing.

"Not your kind of fun, Herr Alaric. Keep your pants on and belt tied," Sylvain said, either not getting the cue or ignoring it, before fixing his slouch hat and glancing out into the port.

The woman hesitated clearly pondering whether she sound give up her own name. She shrank a little her confidence weakening. Names were scared usually only given to those you trust. At least for her. She didn't like the idea of this woman having her name on her tongue. But it may be the only thing from death. Brushing a strand of hair out of her face, the petie woman regained her stature. "You may call me Thessa. And nothing more" she decreed her shoulders square and her hands folded in her lap carefully. She looked important doing nothing but just sitting there. She knew how to hold herself. (I apologize I have been away from my computer for a few days) "Well you obviously don't want to die, which is a smart thing," Kali sighed with slight dissapointment. "So what do you want? And what are you willing to do to stay alive... Thessa?" She admired the woman's spite and pride, it reminded her of herself. Names were powerful and the fact that Thessa was reluctant to give up hers showed that she knew this.

Fletcher just smiled. He had never thought much of his laugh. He had started to hear it less and less as the years went on and his position was raised. He didn't allow himself to feel like this too often. "I appreciate that." He chuckled pulling away a little to look over Santiago's face. A light smile was on his face and his features were soft. Actually relaxed and content. He tilted his head to the side and his lost puppy look came back. "You have a pleasant smile. Your eyes light up when you feel genuine joy. It's enjoyable to see" He commented inching his face a little closer.
Zenobia wasn't listening to their conversation. She instead made her way to the pile that Henry had pointed at. She dug around the blades, being less than careful, and knicked her hands a few too many times. Curses escaped her lips in hushed whispers. Angrily, she kicked the pile of weapons causing them to scatter on the ground. She was about to whirl around and yell at the two men behind her before a hilt caught her eye. And then another. The same intricate design that she knew all too well. Lunging forward, Zeno grabbed her swords and pulled them from the pile. Holding them up to the light, she smiled wickedly as they glistened in the low light of the candles on the walls. She chuckled as she twirled the swords in her hands and looked over to Henry and Chase. "Let's go destroy some things" (LET'S BLOW SOME STUFF UP!!! And quick cause I kinda wanna get away from Portugal and back onto the seas)
Alaric simply smiled a bit before rolling his eyes. He didn't step away though. Alaric continued to stare down Sylvain. "At least give me a name" He said tilting his head to the side. "Otherwise, I'll have to make one up for you. And, between you and me, I am absolutely terrible at naming things"
"What would be the point. You have already decided whether or not you intend to spare my life or not. So, I am not willing to give up any more information. You already have my name, what more could you want?" She asked her voice hitching in slight fear. Her eyes darted to the door that they had come through, but, her face remained composed. "Kill me if you must but I warn you" Thessa paused as she crossed her arms and looked away "I am the last friendly face you will see from my people"

That compliment took Santiago off guard, and he just pulled away slightly, surprising him at the compliment. His hazel eyes widened, his cheeks darkening again as he tried to laugh off the compliment, even though his features softened at it. There was very few instances that he truly smiled anymore, usually his face was painted with a knowing smirk. So it caught him off guard that Santiago had actually caught his smile, but he liked that the other did. Of course, being the smooth guy he was he just let out a small, embarrassed cough and uttered something about him being a sap, trying to regain his own composure.

"Kill me if you must but I warn you" Thessa paused as she crossed her arms and looked away "I am the last friendly face you will see from my people" Kali thought quietly for a moment, Her face gave away nothing as to what she was thinking or planning. "Are you saying your people will declare war on us?" She finally asked with narrowed eyes. "Are your people natives of the area we are going to? Do you know about El Dorado then?" The pirate raised an eyebrow, daring her to react. No matter what Thessa said Kali would get her knowledge, everyone betrayed themselves eventually even if they didn't realize it. " Thessa," She smirked and leaned closer to the woman so her mouth was next to her ear, voice low and dangerous. "Tell me why you came here. Tell me why YOU are being a "friendly face" if you wish to see us all dead?" Her free hand brought the knife right up to Thessa's face and gently pressed it against her lower lip and gently pulls it down, not hard enough to cut her but with enough pressure to leave a light mark.

OOC: Yeah let's get back to the ship. XD
IC: Chase raised his eyebrow as she pulled out the swords. They were, in a design point of view, quite beautiful. When they were on the ship, he must remember to ask about them. As she spoke Chase's smirk grew more and he nodded, looking from her to Henry and back. Hopefully the boy wouldn't slow them down. They had a good thing going in this little heist, and he didn't want some young pirate to ruin the teamwork. Ah but he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and opened his mouth to agree. "Yes, let's. And then we can get back to the ship, " he grumbled the last part of course. He didn't want to head back to that dreaded ship.

Henry had, of course, heard about how several of the most major pirates in the seas had been captured, one by one, but their fates had been kept very quiet. Chase and Zenobia were among them, and Henry couldn't help but wonder what had happened to them. What was making them choose to go back onto this ship? What kind of blackmail was holding them there?
There wasn't time to answer these questions, and he didn't want to ask, especially not now that Zenobia also had weapons. Chase appeared to have hesitated as to whether Henry should come, but after a moment of deliberation he appeared to be fine with it. It was fine if Chase doubted him. Everyone did. But Henry could look after himself. Most of the time, at least.
So once the other two pirates were apparently agreed, Henry did only a quick nod to show his agreement, not wanting to say anything that would mean he was still inside this building when it blew up.

Fletcher was taken aback when Santiago pulled away. He thought he had offended him in some way. said the wrong thing. But then he heard the comment and saw the smile and he knew he was in the clear. He was going to say something else until he suddenly felt a pang in his stomach. It made a low but audible growl. Fletcher suddenly turned bright red. He had completely forgotten to eat anything. "That's rather embarrassing" Fletcher muttered looking down at his stomach and frowning. It wasn't unlike him to miss a meal but he would eat sometime during the day... eventually. Because of the day's events he hadn't had an opportunity to take a bite of anything. (Fletcher is me during the school year XD) "You haven't eaten today?" Santiago asked with a chuckle. He knew he wasn't much better, he'd had some bread and then the drinks that he and Zeno shares earlier in the day., and that was about it. Without thinking about what he was doing he slid off of the larger man and pulled himself onto his feet, forgetting about his wound and fever. "Let's get you something... something to eat then," he stuttered, swaying as the pain overloaded his senses. A weaker man would have fallen to the ground, but Santiago only swayed a little, leaning on the wall for support as his features paled. That movement had torn a couple of stitches, he could feel that much.

Sylvain engaged back in the staredown. The man hadn't very well ingratiated himself with the former veteran, acting lazy and then flirting with him, generally refusing to be the model of what he thought was a respectable captain. He felt disdainful enough that he almost outright refused, but plain civility eventually prevailed. "Ze third mate, boatzwain Sylvain Kochman," he answered.

Santiago let out a soft breath, allowing the other to steady him, surprisingly comforted as arms were wrapped around him. Wow. I've gotten attached. He thought with a soft chuckle, hissing in pain as he shifted, looking up sheepishly.
"S-sorry, I just, I just forgot," He stuttered,resting his head against the others chest, putting most of his weight on the other. His legs were already shaking from standing, his body trying to cope with the fact that he'd lost copious amounts of blood. He looked rather guilty at the fact, but didn't voice that.
"Alright. I can do that."He said, although he opened his mouth to make a coarse comment before closing his mouth, thinking better of it.
