patroling around, glad nobody seems to be causing havoc...

notices the man - his uniform wasn't exactly subtle - and debates going up to him. He would know where the market was, but he was in the

navy, and, well. She was the cook on a pirate ship. Sighing, she stepped up to him, tapping his shoulder.

looks down at the.. girl? woman? she's kind of short, how cute... "Ah, yes? What is the matter?"

smoothes out her skirts. "I was trying to find the market place, but I got lost..."

blinks "Ah- that's" points... but frowns when he realizes it's kind of far away "Hm... it's that way but..."

blinks up at him. "Well. Could you take me there...?"

hums... well, the place was kind of quiet so- "Sure, why not?" smiles at her "Let's go"

nods, playing with her skirts. "Thank you, Mister...?"

starts walking by her side, leading the way "Jones. Admiral Jones. And you are...?"

follows him, raising an eyebrow. "You seem young for an admiral. I'm Chunyan Wang." She bows slightly.

laughs "That's because I'm really good and bright and stuff. ...nice name, where are you from...?"

smiles a bit. For being an admiral in the navy he didn't seem that bad. "I was born in China."

nods, even though he only has the slightlest idea of where that is "I see, you must have seen a lot of world!"

chuckles a bit. "I've seen quite a bit of it. Where are you from, Mr. Jones?"

smiles "The Americas, of course, if you could not tell by how amazing I am"

laughs, shaking her head. "I've never met an American before."

raises an eyebrow "Well, now you can't say that anymore. My parents were English though..."

smiles at him. "I would figure as much. First generation, eh?"

nods "Yep. What brings you here by the way, Chunyan?"

shrugs. "Just...on an adventure, I suppose."

tilts head, interested "Really? To catch some sneaky burglars, maybe~?"

giggles, covering her mouth with her hand. "Burglars?"

nods "Ruffians! There's a ton around here and I" points at himself "Am here to catch them"

smiles behind her hand. "I see! Have you caught any yet?"

...frowns "No, but there's still time and stuff" kind of muttering the last part :/

pats his arm. "You'll get them."

snorts and smiles at that "Why, of course I will~" laughs a bit "you're really nice"

blushes a bit. "I'm not that nice."

nods "I think you are..." wants to ruffle her hair but if she isn't as young as she looks that'd be weird... "May I ask how old are you...?"

tuts. "A lady never tells her age. But I'm not much of a lady." She looks thoughtful. "I'm 26."

blinks, that's... somehow older, somehow younger than what he had imagined "You look really young...!"

rubs her cheek, embarrassed. "Thank you, Mr. Jones."

smiles "You can call me Alfred if you'd rather"

blushes. "Th-that would be rude."

raises an eyebrow "How so- oh, you mean because I am an Admiral?"

shakes her head. "No, because we've just met, Mr. Jones."

raises an eyebrow "Yet I call you Chunyan... is that rude too? it just felt natural"·

rubs her cheek, thinking. "I...I'm not sure. I suppose I'm just used to calling people 'mister'."

laughs "That's cute... what do you work as, if I may ask?"

panics a bit, not sure what to say. "I'm a cook."

he's actually surprised :0 "Really? Wow... I wish I could taste your meals now, I am curious"

smiles at him. "I could cook for you!"

BEAMS "Really? That'd be awesome! Between you and me, the cooks on the navy aren't that great..."

giggles a bit. "I would imagine." This man was odd, in an endearing sort of way."

nods, smiling "Then you'll have to tell me where do you cook at... or something, yeah?"

tilts her head. "I don't really have a kitchen..."

raises an eyebrow "Then...where do you cook?"

blushes a bit. "I just got hired on a ship. But you know how ship kitchens are."

nods "ooh... yeah, merchant vessels are not that fancy are they?"

shakes her head. "Not at all!"

laughs "I wish I could help, but I doubt they'd let us use their kitchens"

smiles. "We could sneak in."

raises an eyebrow "...but what if we get caught? I could get kicked out of the navy!"

pokes his arm. "We won't get caught!"

huffs "...promise?"

nods. "I promise!"

wrinkles his nose "...fine, once you're done buying what you needed we can...try that I guess"

grins. "It'll be fine! I promise."

nods, still not sure but...hey, it's just the kitchen and the girl is really cute, so there

sees the market place, brightening even more. "What do you want to eat?"

does not really know... "your favourite?"

nods, glancing around the market place. She begins to pick up things, reaching into her top to get her coin purse.

follows her, wondering if he should offer to pay but forgetting at the last moment because SHEKEEPSITINSIDEHERTOP

rummages around, pulling it out. "Here we are~" She pays for the food, smiling.

s-smiles back at her, kind of awkward... gosh he really needed to be less prude. He shakes the thoughts away.

turns to him, raising an eyebrow. "So shall we get going?"
