trips over him.

startled and sits up "Oh! Hey, what are you doing here? " takes a minute to think before holding out his hand "here, let me help you up."

pushing herself up cursing and spitting out sand she rubbed her face, she froze as she heard him speak. "Fuck..."

takes her by the arm and pulls her up ".... did you not see me there?"

flushes as she was pulled up, dammit she didn't just Imagen the voice. "U-uh.. No.." She was busy paying attention to the water.

smiles before turning his attention the the ocean "What brought you out here for hm?"

frowns slightly, he reminded her a lot of Isabella... "The ocean. You?" She watched the ocean again.

pats her head "I think it's relaxing here isn't it?~ "

cringes down. "Fuck! What the hell is it with Spaniards touching my head?!" Isabella always did it too. "Si. It is.. Even if tripping isn't"

laughs and moves his hand away from her "sorry, that little tripping accident was adorable though~ "

flushes again. "It was not dammit! That was embarrassing and damn stupid!"

laughs again "if you say so~ " contemplates the ocean again "I think i've been here too long, I kind of want to go out at sea again...."

looks at him. "Don't you have a ship?" She wondered why he was telling her this, they didn't even know each other's names.

looks down at her "of course I do~ Not many people on it, but you gain alliances as you go~ "

nods slightly. "Ah." She understood that as she was recruited not too long ago. "What's your name damn Spaniard?"

smiles "It's Antonio~ I'm pleased to meet you. And your name pretty lady?~ "

flushes. "My name is Chiara. And I'm not pretty dammit!"

laughs "You are~ you're adorable and cute~ "

continues to flush. "N-no! Shut up dammit! I am n-not!"

takes her hand and kisses it "you are, whether you think so or not."

can't help but slap him and turn away quickly covering her face, she was shaking slightly from embarrassment.

caught off gaurd by the slap. Holds his hand to his cheek, ".... that was uncalled for." rubs at it before looking back at her "For being _

so cute, you can be violent~"

turns, she felt bad after slapping him. "I-it.. I.. It just wasn't expected, that's all dammit.." He pulled his hand down and kissed his_

cheek in a small apology, she refused to say sorry though.

his cheeks warm up a bit, thensmiles at her again " It's alright. Perhaps teasing you wasn't such a good idea hm?"

frowns and shakes her head. "No." It wasn't the teasing that made her slap him, it was the kiss. She looked back to the water flushing still

.

silent for a moment. ".... hey, why don't I buy you something to drink? or food?"

looks at him but nods slightly. "Uh.. Alright...?" she raised an eyebrow wondering what he was thinking.

starts to walk to the nearest bar, it's been a while since he had some companionship from a girl "Here, this is the nicest one in this town.

"

frowns a bit. "Then.. We don't have to go in dammit." She was worried it would be expensive.

her a confused expression, "It's alright, i'm paying for this anyways~ I was the one who invited you~ "

pouts a bit. "What if it's expensive dammit?"

smirks "I have enough, don't worry~ "

frowns. "Right.." She didn't know why he was being so nice to her..

leads her into the bar and gets a table "They serve good food here~ "

sits down looking around at everything. "You've been here before..?" She raised an eyebrow at this.

nods "I come here often~ It looks odd from the outside, but it's a respectable and safe place~ "

shifts at the word respectable, great, she was a pirate in a respectable place. "Okay, if you say so."

stares at her reaction for a moment ".... ah~ You're worried about being seen here right? Don't worry, most people here are in.... the same_

"buisness" we're both in." Takes a moment to pour her a drink, "This is a town by the sea, most people have stopped caring~ "

sighs and noticeably relaxes she nodded slightly. "Okay." She flushed embarrassed, he must have noticed her reaction.

smiles at her "you're too cute to be in something like this, are you sure you can handle things like that on your own?"

flushes again. "I'll be fine, dammit.. I'm.. I'm good with a gun. I'll be fine, I'm just a cook." She looked away.

laughs a little "you must be very good at cooking then~ '

flushes a bit. "I-I'm pretty fair at it.." She wished he would stop being charming.

orders some food for them "I'm sure you're amazing~ "

stays silent as he orders and flushes again. "I don't know about that.." In her mind she was cursing him with every word she could think of_

in English and Italian.

keeps up his smile "i'm sorry if this is too personal but, what got you into this sort of thing? It's dangerous you know, even for a cook."

frowns and shrugs. "I needed a damn job, plan and simple, nothing more nothing less."

hums thoughtfully "How intresting~ ah, the food's here~

"*

raises an eyebrow. "What's intre- oh.." She looked at the food.

smells it "it seems like it will be good~ but i'm sure it's not as good as what you make~ "

frowns at him. "I told you I'm not that good dammit!"

starts to eat his food "hmmm~ I'm sure you a~re~"

takes a small bite of hers. "I said I wasn't dammit..!"

decides to stay quiet now, but continues to smile at her.

why he is smiling?! She flushed and looked away.

she's enjoying the food. Being with her has somehow made his day better~

actually enjoying the food, she had no idea she had made him happy.

finishes his plate and pours her a glass of wine before pouring himself one. " this kind is good~ It's sweet~ "

stares at the wine. "G-grazie.." She blinked. "S-sweet, the hell do you think this is? A damn d-date?"

blinks at her ".... Ah.. well." takes her hand and kisses it "if this is a date, then it's been wonderful so far~ "

resists the urge to slap him as she flushed worse. "H-hey! God dammit! Don't d-do that..!"

hums "why not? Women usually are charmed by that. You're strange~ but incredibly cute~ "

extremely charmed, but will NEVER tell him that. "I-I am not cute dammit..!"

laughs "you are~ You're very charming in your own way~ or maybe i'm the strange one?"

flushes still and nods to him. "Si, you are the strange one..!" She didn't think she was charming at all.

takes another sip of wine "But what else do you want to do? Or would you rather leave after this meal?"

sips her wine and frowns slightly. "We.. We could go back to the beach?"

raises an eyebrow at her "hm, you must like the sea a lot then too huh? "

shrugs a bit but nods. "Si. I used to live by the coast in my home, before I came here."

nods " I see~ you've lived near it your whole life~ "

nods to him swirling her wine and watching it. "And what about you? Where did you live?"

takes another drink from his glass "Hmm... I don't remember much about my first home, but i've been at sea most of the life. I guess that's_

my home then~ "

nods slightly. "Oh. That's cool." She smiled a bit watching her wine.

a bit light headed, but drinks another glass, "I never thought it would be so fun~ "

finishes her first glass. "Never thought what would be so fun?"

hums "Living and working out at sea~ "

nods quietly reaching for the wine bottle. "So far, it isn't that bad..."

nods, "I really isn't~ ah well, it gets bad when storms start rolling in, but most people avoid trying to go out during those times."

makes a face. "I hope I don't have to sail in a storm..."

shakes his head "it's horrible, it makes you gratefull for the calm, boring days."
