Cross nodded lightly and ran a hand through his dark hair as she spoke. She wasn't wrong, that was for sure. "If I'm not mistaken, I could bet Captain Fae would give his life up for Cordelia any day." He said in a quieter voice, also glancing in the direction of the doors that led below deck. Cross glanced at Sabrina and offered her a small smirk. "If you've seen it happen, then I don't doubt it'll work. Seeing is believing after, miss."

Cross bit back a frown and nodded lightly. Yeah, those two were a pair alright. Anyone could see it. "For now.. How about we take a walk around the island? You could kind of show me around while we're here. Maybe even find a bounty." He asked, glancing at her curious. He didn't mean anything by it, but it was definitely better than standing here and doing nothing.

Cross quietly followed her around the island, taking.mental notes to remember where each shop or tavern was. To his disappointment, there wasn't any bounties or jobs available, and the tour ended after the two of them for something to eat and headed back to the ship. It had been a few hours, so he was hoping his captain was feeling better. Cross chuckled at her comment. "I'm sure those two will eat just about anything." He said, thinking about her question. "Cozy little island you got here, you sure wanna leave it? No tellin' if you'll ever see it again."

Andrew started to finally wake. His fever gone and him no longer sweating like someone stuffed inside a sonna or something. He still didn't feel great, but he was feeling a lot better now.

Cross nodded some and helped Sabrina up to the dock. "If he's feeling better, he'll definitely need to eat." He chuckled.

Andrew slowly sat up, blinking when he felt her dap his forehead with the cloth. He glanced at her with a tilted head. "Del.. Have you been sitting here the whole time?" He asked, slightly concerned.

Andrew chuckled. "I don't know, watching the ship?" He teased, shaking off the brief headache he got from laughing. "Thank you, Del. You're always there for me."

Once Sabrina was on the deck, Cross followed. Then he stopped and glanced off. Pirates. "You there, got any bounty?" A man burly man asked. He was dressed like a captain and he had two others behind him, the others were probably keeping an eye on the ship. Cross pulled his out and aimed at their feet before firing a warning shot. "I never miss."


The gun shot alerted Andrew and he stood without much hesitation.

The other pirates smirked at his words, taking them more as a bluff. When the men saw Cordelia, the 'captain' rose an eyebrow. "Looks like we struck gold, men! All we gotta do is take out this here guard dog." He taunted, easily striking a nerve. Honestly, Cross didn't really want to kill anyone. He didn't like killing, despite his. love for guns and shootings. "I can handle these goons, mate." He called back to Cordelia and stepped in front of Sabrina. "Get below deck and stay with the captain." He said to her quietly, keeping his pistol on the other pirates.

Andrew roughly grabbed his hat and followed his first mate up the deck. He wasn't too pleased with seeing other pirates aboard his ship. Cross mentally kicked himself at the sight of Andrew. He shot the younger a ' let me handle this' kind of look and he nodded lightly.

Andrew ended up going with the girls and stood watch in case any of the other pirates got passed Cross. Hearing Cordelia, he glanced at her. "You didn't do anything, Del.. Everything is going to be fine." He said to her. He led the girls to the captains room and had them sit on the bed, while he closed the door and sat close to it.

No sooner than the others went below deck, Cross hid a smirk and shot through the other captain's hat. "I'll say it again- I never miss. Now, I suggest you lot get going before I blow a hole in yer thick skulls. There ain't nothing on this ship for your taking." He said quite seriously. The cowards fled, leaving their captain alone and defenseless. Cross loaded the pistol again and aimed at the others head when the other looked like he was reaching for his own pistol. "Sharpshooter or not, I cant just leave the ship empty handed, boy." The pirate captain mused with a taunting smirk.

Gun shots could be heard from below deck, but it was unclear whose gun they were coming from. The shooting didn't last long though before all was quiet.

Andrew but his inner cheek once the gunshots stopped. "I'm gonna go up, you girls stay here. That's an order." He said, glancing at them. In case the other captain was the victor, he wanted to keep the rest of his crew safe. He readied his pistol and cautiously made his way up to the deck. "Shooter?" He called, referring to him as a nickname.

Cross took a moment to collect himself, before running a hand through his hair. "Here, captain." He called back. Andrew approached him and frowned when he noticed the blood on his arm. The other guy was dead, so they'd have to do something about the body..but he was more concerned about Cross's arm. "Sabrina!" Andrew called.

Cross obliged and followed Sabrina below deck so she could tend to his arm. "Ah, I've had worse." He murmured partially under his breath. It wasn't hard for him to sit will so she could work, and simply nodded to her orders. "Sure thing. Though, I can't promise I won't need more bandages as we travel." He winked semi-teasingly before getting up from the wooden stool.

Andrew smiled some and wrapped an arm around the shoulders of his childhood friend. "A crew mate who just so happens to be a doctor." He mused. "We'll leave docks at sunrise." He said. Cross looked at Andrew and Cordelia. " Since the ship is safe again, why don't you two to enjoy your grub? " He suggested.

Cross chuckled some and wandered back up to the deck to deal with the body of the captain.

Andrew followed Sabrina and Cordelia into the galley and smirked some. "Don't worry about warming it up, It'll be fine the way it is." He said casually.
