Elsa woke to the sound of humming from the hallway.
The pirate captain opened one eye slowly, then promptly shut it when it came into direct contact with the early morning sunshine. The badass pirate plunderer sunk underneath the frilly sheets of the royal bed, muttering curses under her breath and pressing her cheek to the unbearably soft mattress beneath her. She loathed the sound of the birds chirping merrily outside her window, and even more so the humming that emanated from the hallway.
Suddenly, three quick knocks sounded from the other side of the door, followed by the blasted princess's voice calling, "Elsa?"
Elsa didn't dignify Anna with a response and Anna huffed impatiently from outside, tapping her foot.
"Come ON! I want to show you around the castle!"
THAT got Elsa's attention. The captain slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes and loathingly staring down at her prissy girl clothes and messed up bed. Again, she couldn't help but think how mutinous her crew would become if they saw her then.
"And your pirate clothes are out here too, just let me in!"
"Go away, Princess." Elsa ordered, using the same tone of disrespect as before. She heard the clanking of armor shifting around outside her room and her eyes grew wide as she heard a low grumble from the guard stationed right beside her doorway.
"Please, Elsa?"
"Begging will get you nowhere." The captain said experimentally, just seeing how long it would take the princess to give up…
"I'm not giving up on you!" Anna cried determinately.
"Fuck this." Elsa sighed, "You can make me come out, but you can't make me like it!"
Anna giggled excitedly outside her room, making Elsa bristle with disgust. The pirate captin hopped out of bed, turning to look at the unkempt bed over her shoulder, turned back to the door and sighed slowly. She listened to the key being put into the lock. As the door swung open, Elsa frowned, expecting to see the sweet little redhead staring up at her with wide eyes. Instead, Elsa's head tilted back to stare into two, cold, black eyes of the massive guard that was watching over her room. The man was simply huge-nearly the size of Hans.
"Well, hey there, bigfoot, how are you this morning?" Elsa mock greeted the soldier who's fist tightened around the spear he held, "Unfit to be a complete fucking hulk I see?"
"Excuse me, Oaken." Anna said politely slipping around the massive man into Elsa's room, holding Elsa's freshly washed, (blood free) clothes. Elsa's face returned to its usual scowl as Anna handed Elsa her clothes.
"Good morning." Anna greeted her cheerily. The sound of anyone being so happy in the morning made Elsa cringe in discomfort. She wished she had a dagger on her or some kind of blade so she could shock fear into Anna and at the same time have some kind of defense against the wall of muscle watching them both like a hawk. Elsa said nothing, took her clothes, moved slowly into the bathroom and sluggishly, still somewhat asleep, pulled off her clothes from the night before and put her pirate captain clothes on in replacement. She stared at herself in the mirror, smiling approvingly at her outfit now that she wasn't dressed as a girl. Not that…she cared about what she looked like at all. It was just the fact she liked the pirate look better. It was more comfy.
Elsa strode out into the main bedroom to find Anna playing with her hat.
"Get the hell off of my hat!" Elsa snapped loudly, bounding across the room to snatch the leather hat away from Anna, "Don't touch it again or I'll cu-"
The big man, Oaken, shifted slightly as Elsa stopped herself from saying, "cut a bitch." Anna tilted her head innocently and Elsa sighed, resting the hat back on her head and staring coldly at the princess. Both the pirate and princess stood then, looking each other over.
"You look good in that." Anna blurted.
Elsa barely flinched, but her heart did that strange palpitation thing like it did the other day, the day she met Anna. Elsa took a deep breath to stop the strange sensation and replied, "Like I care what I look like. You look like a sissy girly girl in that." She gestured to the green dress Anna wore, "Disgusting."
"I'm required to wear this." Anna defended herself, "If I had my choice I'd wear pants and shirts and boots and everything you're wearing! I'm a princess though so I have to wear this."
"I know." Elsa spat, her eyes like daggers directed right at Anna, "Now, you wanted to show me the castle?"
"Yeah!" Anna said, perking up immediately and jumping to her feet. She raced across the room to Oaken, asked to pass, and the man reluctantly moved aside, smiling softly at the young girl who beckoned the pirate along, almost as if she were coaxing a puppy. The tone in her voice made Elsa bristle and cringe with disgust.
She hated the girl. Elsa hated everything about her.
The pirate slipped passed Oaken who glared at her menacingly before she quickened her pace to walk behind Anna. She began to chatter to Elsa all about the dorm area and about her cousin who was away to attend a wedding. Anna showed Elsa her bedroom that was adorned in springtime green and other bright colors that made the pirate want to hurl yet again.
The things she did for money.
Anna then took the pirate on an enthusiastic tour of the entire castle bringing her around to the dining area, and the ballroom, where she showed Elsa a bit of her talent at dancing. She showed Elsa the kitchen to which the pirate took an immediate liking too. When Anna showed Elsa the wine cellar, the pirate's mouth watered and her thoughts turned to how many bottles she could smuggle out of there. Anna took her through the empty rooms where paintings covered the wall. She explained each and every one to Elsa, showed the woman which one's were her favorite, finally stopping to explain very thoroughly her love for the painting of Joan.
Anna then took Elsa, who was slightly exhausted by all the talking, to the courtyard and showed her the garden she sometimes tended to herself. Some geese and swans swam about in a pound and Anna called them by name, making Elsa wonder, "How did those animals know to come when Anna called them?" Anna then went on to explain each and every kind of flower, showing Elsa her favorites and what she loved about them. Anna then dragged the pirate into the library where she showed Elsa her favorite books, and to the training grounds. Elsa watched Anna with loathing as she twirled around, explaining the high walls that blocked off the view of the forest behind it. Not listening entirely, Elsa's eyes wandered around the room, finally coming to rest on a large table that was covered in swords and spears.
"And this is where I train most days for my archery and sword fighting!" Anna enthusiastically spread her arms, "Isn't it huge?"
"Mighty big for jus' a training area." Elsa replied.
"Those were the first words you've said all day!" Anna replied happily.
"What do I get? A medal?" Elsa scowled.
"You wish!" Anna teased, smiling at Elsa with that grin of hers…Elsa looked at her for one moment and for some reason unknown to Elsa, stared into the princess's eyes for longer than she should have. Anna grew awkward suddenly, playing with her hands and shifting on her feet. Elsa, already awkward stood as still as a statue, but still held her head high.
"D-do you want to…" Anna began, her eyes shifting to the table covered in swords, "Would you w-want to…"
"Spit it out." Elsa hissed.
"Would you want to spar?" Anna asked so quietly the pirate strained to hear.
"Um…" Elsa hummed apprehensively. She turned toward the table and, using her head, she began to formulate a more elaborate plan. If she appeased the princess by being nice to her, she could get into the castle treasury faster. Elsa stood very still for the next few moments, the gears in her head turning. Anna simply stared at her.
"Yeah." Elsa smiled toothily, "Sure, go an' get me a sword. Let's see how long you last against me."
Anna, her eyes lighting up like a gasoline fire, she charged over to the sword table, grabbing two by the hilts, running back to Elsa who had still been in the process of thinking. She was interrupted when she felt Anna tap her shoulder lightly. The princess held out the sword for the pirate and the both of them took their positions.
"I prefer a cutlass, but this flimsy thing will have to do." Elsa said nonchalantly while Anna was near bursting with excitement, ready to prove herself to the condescending pirate. Elsa observed the sword's blade by turning it over and over in her hands, trying to bluff the princess.
Then all at once the pirate smiled evilly, loving the fact that she would soon have this spoiled rotten princess under her power. She struck faster than Anna had anticipated but Anna was so worked up that she was ready for anything. She deflected the pirate's swing and then parried, jabbing for the pirate's shoulder. Quick to retaliate, Elsa sidestepped and aimed a blow to Anna's side. The princess received a painful jolt to the ribs from the hilt of Elsa's sword and the pirate let out a booming laugh that made Anna wince, but smile slightly.
Anna took Elsa off guard with a quick swing directed at her legs but the pirate jumped over the blade, the swung right at Anna's head, smiling with dark glee, forgetting her purpose for staying at the castle and only focusing on the fact that she had the princess within her grasp. Elsa was taken by surprise when the princess ducked, gracefully twirled behind her like a ballroom dancer, then sent a jarring hit to the back of Elsa's head using the rock hard hilt of her sword.
Elsa, seeing stars, stumbled forward, grabbing her head, stunned. The pirate captain whirled on Anna, beet red and furious.
"No good am I?" Anna asked, resting her blade on her shoulder and smiling smugly, "I thought you would be better."
"I was jus' goin' easy on you, whelp." Elsa hissed between her teeth, charging Anna again.
The two girls continued to spar, Elsa only focused on defeating Anna. Anna desperately defended herself against the pirate's fully concentrated attacks. Anna knew she would be defeated and tried to forfeit, but the sword was knocked out of her hand before she could say a word, pushed back on the ground by a boot to her chest, and before the princess knew what was happening she had a sword to her throat.
She shook the loose hair out of her eyes and stared up at the pirate. Elsa bore a triumphant smile on her face as she rested the tip of her sword against Anna's throat.
"Hah!" Elsa laughed, breathing heavily, "That was fucking fantastic!"
"R-really?" Anna asked as Elsa removed her sword from her neck.
"Hell yeah!" Elsa said, "I never knew a pussy like you could take a hit, and then give some!"
"I told you I wasn't ALL girly." Anna said, smiling. Elsa suddenly stopped smiling and crossed her arms. Having lost herself in the moment, Elsa had given Anna some kind of hope that she wasn't unreachable, and the pirate didn't want that. She had been massively impressed with the princesses' talent and had suddenly gained a small bit of respect for her. But it didn't change the way Elsa felt about the princess. She was talented, sure, but she was still a princess.
"Oh!" Anna gasped, snapping her fingers excitedly, "Have you ever ridden a horse before, Elsa?"
"No." Elsa said, "And I'm not going to start now."
"Oh, come on!" Anna said, grabbing the pirate's hand. Elsa was pulled unwillingly through the courtyard and back through the castle, all the while, Anna explaining excitedly about how she had learned to horse ride since she was very little. The pirate, whose hand was being clutched by the princesses' noticed how soft it was. Elsa thought acidly, "Her hands are girly…"
Anna dragged Elsa out into the front stables where she eventually let go of Elsa's hand. Immediately the pirate wiped her hand on her pants and crossed her arms. Anna skipped over to a grey, dappled mare and patted her nose, "This is wisp!" she said to Elsa, "She's my horse!"
"Wisp." Elsa echoed quietly, "dumb-ass name for a horse."
"Well what would YOU name a horse if you had one?" Anna asked Elsa, slightly annoyed.
"I'd name a horse…Shadow Strider or somethin' big. Like...Storm Chaser."
"A horse isn't a ship." Anna said, patting Wisp's nose gently, "A horse is a kind, gentle animal."
"Not all horses are that wau." Elsa replied, leaning on the stable door and watching Anna affectionately stroke the neck of wisp, who was delighted to be given such attention.
"But not all." Anna said, "Here, let's go for a ride."
"No." Elsa said, "I refuse."
"I'm the princess so you have to do what I command." Anna said, squaring her shoulders, "Now get your bum on my horse or I'll have to call the guards."
Elsa stared incredulously at the stubborn princess who stood, jaw clenched, eyes sparkling, her entire face bright with a satisfied grin. The pirate's shoulders slumped and she breathed a curse into the breeze. Anna clapped her hands in excitement, then reached down to unhinge the stable door. Elsa noticed Anna guide the horse into the courtyard without saddling it.
"Bareback?" Elsa asked in slight surprise as Anna somehow swung her way up onto the animal.
"Bareback is the only way to ride!" Anna replied happily, holding out a hand for the pirate to take, "Now I'll teach you how to stay on! Take my hand."
"I'll get on myself. I don't need your help." Elsa scowled, tilting her head, trying to decide which was the best way to get on the horse. She tried hopping on, only succeeding in draping herself stomach first over the back of the horse. When she slid off she tried a running jump, landing hard on the horse's side, making the animal shift uncomfortably and paw at the earth, snorting in discomfort.
Elsa tried running from behind the horse to jump onto its back that way. All she achieved was getting a face full of horse hair and a sore chest from running directly into the horse's bottom. Elsa then stood back and paced around the animal, eyeing it murderously, trying to find a spot where she could easily get on.
Anna, all the while this was going on, was spectating, doing her very best to hold back laughter. The proud, extremely impolite, yet impressive pirate was made a fool due to her own stubbornness, and Anna was enjoying every minute of it. The dangerous woman, to Anna, seemed to always be in a bad mood, but now she was slowly, gradually starting to loosen up around Anna despite her current predicament with her horse. Anna guessed it was the sparring session that had caused the pirate to feel more comfortable around her, but she wasn't about to draw to conclusions just yet.
Elsa paced around the animal once more and stopped right beside Anna; the princess held out her hand again, smiling at the pirate who frowned back at her. Coming to the conclusion that there was no other way on the horse, Elsa took Anna's hand roughly. As Anna hoisted Elsa onto the back of Wisp without so much as a grunt, Elsa was impressed yet again, by the woman's unnatural strength.
"Alright," Anna said excitedly, taking handfuls of her horse's mane, "Put your arms around my waist."
"Hell no."
"Just do it, you idiot."
Anna glared at Elsa over her shoulder and Ela glared back at Anna…
Elsa snorted, defeated by the princesses' gaze and slowly, awkwardly put her arms around the princess's waist…
Anna, surprised to feel a warmth traveling down her spine the moment the pirate's arms locked around her waist, paused for a long moment, breathing in and out slowly, slightly enjoying the feeling of strong arms around her. Elsa waited for the princess to do something, awkwardly tightening her grip. To Elsa, Anna smelled wonderful. She thought she would hate the scent of a prissy princesses but...not really. Anna, however, hadn't worn perfume that day. The scent was purely Anna, and Elsa breathed in slowly…deciding that the princess smelled clean and warm. And comforting. The pirate captain slowly began to relax in that position, even though her head was screaming desperately to draw away.
Anna, breaking out of her reverie, clicked her tongue to the horse and beckoned her forward. Elsa grabbed onto Anna's waist desperately as the creature began to move. Anna instructed her horse into a swift trot and she steered wisp out the front gates, taking a path to the right into the forests behind the castle. Elsa, hating the jolting caused by the horse, held onto Anna tightly.
"We're going to go a bit faster." Anna instructed, "So hang onto your hat."
"Faster?!" Elsa yelled. Then Anna clicked her tongue twice and Wisp broke out into a fast paced canter. Elsa immediately yelped in surprise and pressed herself against Anna's back. Anna, unprepared for this sudden contact shuddered in her seat, going unnoticed by the pirate who gripped the sides of the horse with her legs instinctively.
Anna felt every part of the pirate who clung to her from behind. She felt everything from her breasts to her legs; everything was a beautifully sculpted picture in Anna's mind as she imagined what she felt. Elsa seemed rock hard to Anna because every muscle in the pirates body was tensed and it made the princess blush to feel the capable, strong build of the woman behind her.
Elsa slowly began to enjoy herself, clinging to Anna and lifting her head a bit higher. She felt the wind running through her hair. It wasn't wind from the sea, but it was clean, fresh, forest air which was different but pleasurable all the same. Elsa took her hat off and let the wind blow through her hair freely. She let out a whoop of excitement and Anna laughed, clicking her tongue three times to make Wisp go even faster.
Elsa was immensely enjoying herself, shouting out loud and whistling. She found herself delighting in the sound of the princess's laughter as she cheered as well. The two raced by the tree's riding through streams and densely wooded area's Elsa had never seen so much green in her life and she found herself liking it. It smelled fresh and alive. And she felt very alive as well.
Anna lead them both into a clearing where she instructed Wisp to stop. There was a large pool in the middle of the clearing and it was surrounded by many small rounded stones. On one side of the pool there sat a rock that Anna had often laid on to bask in the sun. The long grass blew in the breeze, buffeting the Pirate's clothes gently, softly.
"This is my special place." Anna said to Elsa. Elsa let go of Anna quickly and the princess, slightly disappointed to feel the arms leave her, slid off of her horse and landed in the grass where she promptly took off her shoes and began to walk toward the placid body of water. Elsa tumbled off of Wisp and trailed after the princess. Anna stopped and lifted her head to the sun. Elsa stood beside her and observed her face.
The princess was clearly brought joy just by the feeling of sunshine on her face. Elsa lifted her face experimentally to feel the sun as well. She only felt its simple warmth. How could someone get so much pleasure from something so common and normal? Anna sighed deeply and locked eyes with the prate who quickly, awkwardly, looked away.
Elsa had been looking at Anna without realizing it.
The pirate nearly slapped herself as doing what she told herself she didn't want to do, but instead, Anna took her hand and knitted her fingers with hers. Elsa's thoughts suddenly ceased all at once. She refused to look at the gorgeous redhead and instead chose to look out at the lake. The feeling of the princess's gentle fingers knitting with her callused digits made the pirate feel uncomfortable, but at the same time just the smallest bit…happy.
Her mind fought against the new feelings that were bombarding her now. She was doing a good job of making herself seem apathetic toward Anna, but she could only hold out for so long, especially when Anna pulled her forward, swinging Elsa's arm back and forth.
To Anna, Elsa seemed suddenly drawn to her and she loved it. She had felt the need to coax the pirate to do everything, but now Elsa was doing things on her own. When Anna had intertwined their fingers, Elsa suddenly, involuntarily squeezed Anna's hand which made princess's cheeks grow warm. She became shy and backward along with already shy and awkward Elsa. Both women walked together, side by side to the edge of the water. When Anna leaned down to pick up a smooth, round stone. She showed it to Elsa who eyed it…then Anna threw it. the stone landed on the water, skidding, then jumped a series of four times and the pirate's head tilted curiously, watching the little rock finally become subject to gravity, falling slowly to the bottom of the pool.
Anna looked up at Elsa and smiled. The pirate thought for a long moment, then slowly reached down to pick up a similar looking stone. Elsa turned it over and over in her palm, then threw it. It traveled in a wide arch before plopping loudly down into the lake water. Anna giggled lightly and bent down to pick up another stone.
"See, you throw it like this." Anna said softly, demonstrating again, "You kind of throw it like one of those disc things the kids play with."
"…Ah." Elsa said, reaching down and taking another rock, "I never had time for skipping rocks so..."
"It's pretty fun!" Anna replied and Elsa threw the rock so that it skipped along the water a few times. The pirate, much to her metal displeasure, smiled then for the first time in a relaxed situation. Anna noticed this and thought quickly, "I can't mess this up now. She's smiling. Don't blow this Anna, don't blow it."
Anna then guided Elsa along the edge of the water until they reached the large rock. As Elsa climbed atop the stone, she helped Anna up as well and both girls sat down on the sun-heated surface. Elsa looked up at the sky and noticed that the sun was nearing its zenith in the summer sky, and she reminded herself that she needed to speak with Hans. It would be a relief from this…whatever they were doing.
Anna laid back on the rock and smiled, looking up at the pirate with a grin. Elsa stared down at Anna coldly but Anna refused to let Elsa's cold gaze faze her. She reached up and touched a scar on Elsa's forearm. It was long, jagged, and white as snow.
"What happened?" Anna asked.
Elsa balked. She didn't feel it was right to tell someone like Anna her tales. Each scar was considered a metal and each story was a trophy. Anna didn't deserve to know…
"It was…gettin' dark aboard my ship." Elsa began, much to her mind's vigorous protests, "And the crew was gettin' into their late night story tellin'. They were sayin' things of mermaids and ghost ships and supernatural things."
Anna was paying extremely close attention to Elsa, and in turn, Elsa became more comfortable in telling the story, "I don't believe in such things. I say they're far-fetched and unrealistic. That night, on the sea, as the cook was recounting a tale of his days as a fisherman before he decided to be a pirate, he told of the time her almost caught a mermaid."
Anna's eyes widened and she moved closer to Elsa who moved away, much to Anna's frustration.
"He was telling us about the creature he saw, eyes as black as night, skin as pale as the moon and breasts as round as-"
"AHEM!"
"…Can't a pirate tell a story!?"
Anna stuck out her bottom lip in the cutest way and Elsa paused a moment, her heart doing that strange palpitation thing that she hated to no end.
"Anyway," Elsa continued, pressing her hand to her chest, " He told us of how he hooked her an' fought against her for hours, trying to reel her in, thinking she was jus' a big fish. But when he pulled her onto the deck an' caught sight of the creature, he said he had never seen something so beautiful in his life. As soon as she had been pulled onto the deck, she took the hook from her tail an' dove back into the water without a trace."
Anna's jaw was slack. The way Elsa told her tail was enchanting and interesting. Normally Anna could only focus on one thing for a certain amount of time, but this kept her attention with no problem. She loved those kinds of tales. It captivated her, capturing her into a world lived through someone else's eyes.
"When I went to bed that night I swore I heard singing." Elsa said.
Anna's body clenched.
"That singing was unlike anything I had ever heard before." Elsa's eyes became distant and soft and Anna noticed how soft the pirate looked when distracted. The cut throat murderess almost looked...cute. Anna scooted closer this time and Elsa didn't move away since she was too caught up in her remembrance of the haunting song she had once heard.
"I got up out of bed to see where the noise was comin' from and…I walked outside…The rest is a blur to be honest."
"You don't remember?!" Anna cried disappointedly, "How could you not remember!"
"I don't know!" Elsa said, shrugging, suddenly aware of how close Anna was to her, "All I remember was a shrill scream, a sword covered in blood, an' my arm bleeding…" Anna stared at Elsa for a few moments, the pirate growing uncomfortable under her gaze once more. Anna reached forward and took the pirate's arm in her gentle hands. Elsa found herself openly showing the princess her scar. Her head was telling her to back away, her head was telling her to resist, to be rude or angry or uncooperative…
"It looks like a claw mark." Anna said in thought, running her finger across the flesh of Elsa's forearm. Elsa suddenly received shivers down her spine. Warm electricity shot through her system and into her stomach where metaphorical butterflies made themselves known by fluttering around. Anna stroked the scar thoughtfully, thinking of possible reasons for how Elsa got her scar…
"It was the mermaid!" Anna concluded.
"Bullshit."
"Naw!" Anna grabbed her hand, "It WAS the mermaid! It came back for revenge on her tail, sang to you to lure you out and-"
"That's the bullshitiest reason for this scar I've ever heard in my-" Elsa's eyes drifted skyward where the sun could be seen in the peak of the sky. She had to get back to her crew to give them word of her plan. So far her plot was turning out nicely. She was slowly faking the princess into a relationship where Anna could trust her, and then Elsa would rob her and her cushy royal family blind without them even knowing. Then it would be back to the seas with a heap full of treasure and items that would sell for billions in the black market.
"I think we should go back now." Elsa said suggestively, "I…need to…go to the bathroom."
"You could just go in the woods." Anna said and Elsa stared.
"…God, you really aren't so prissy after all." Elsa said, standing, "let's just head back."
"But we just got here!" Anna protested urgently, taking the pirate's hand and using Elsa's firm grip to pull herself to her feet. Elsa didn't reply, she only hopped down from the stone and made her way to the horse, ignoring the princes who protested a bit further. Elsa would feel much better after she saw Hans. He wasn't a prissy girl.
The ride back to the castle seemed much longer than the ride to the woods. The reason, to Elsa, went unknown. Anna was disappointed that she couldn't spend as much time with Elsa in her favorite place as she wanted too, but before the two parted ways, Elsa to the market place, and Anna into her castle, Anna made Elsa promise that she would come back and they would have a picnic at the pool.
Elsa, only wanting to see Hans as soon as possible, waved her hand dismissively muttering, "Yeah, yeah." Before striding hurriedly out the front into the city. She looked about at the people around her who immediately shrunk away under her stare. She smiled darkly. THIS is what she truly yearned for. She made her way to the city's main section where she had met Anna yesterday, and smiled when she saw Hans harassing a nearby stall person. Hans had knocked over the man's barrel of flour again and was now telling the man to hand over the bags of sugar cane. Han's then threatened to rip the vender's head off, verbally assaulting the poor man.
Elsa cleared her throat loudly, drawing both her first mate and the vender man's attention. She crossed her arms and Hans closed the distance between him and her. Elsa looked up into the cold, cruel eyes of Hans and shook her head, "Fucking pussy."
"Nice to see you too, cap'n."
"Listen, I've got a plan." Elsa said, leaning closer to whisper into Han's ear, "We're going to stay here until I earn the princesses' trust, then we're gonna rob her blind."
"Fuck." Hans said, scratching his sideburns and looking about suspiciously, "The crew ain't gonna like this very much. They don' like it here. Too much music an'…happiness." Hans spat at the man whom he had been harassing not moments ago and the man shrieked shrilly earning two evil grins from the pirates.
"You sure this is a good idea?" Hans asked his captain. Elsa threw back a hand and slapped him across the face as hard as she could.
"I KNOW this is good idea, you dirty bastard." Elsa laughed heartily and Hans grinned, cracking his jaw that had been slightly dislocated, back into place with his hand, "Now go and tell the rest of the 'pirate scum' the plan, and make sure no one in the tavern hears it other than you. Understand me, asshat?"
"Yessir!" Hans saluted Elsa, "By the way…are you goin' to get into that bitch's pants?"
"Nah." Elsa said, face screwing up in disgust, "As much as I know I could, she's too much of a prissy for me. Was the village whore decent at her job?"
"She was." Hans said, eyes flashing murderously, "she WAS."
Elsa chuckled darkly and turned away without another word to Hans, heading for the castle, thinking of how much money she could make off of the princess…perhaps she could steal her and sell her for a good amount of money…that or demand ransom…
The pirate captain chuckled deeply and trained her eyes on the princess who was tending to her horse in the stables.
Elsa imagined a tag around that pretty neck of hers, a unit of money written on it that would make Elsa richer than she could even imagine.
