"We're
going into town for supplies, you want to come," Kurt stuck his head
inside Jean's door.
"Yes!"
She followed Kurt and the crew up onto the deck.
"What
is this?"
"Captain,
I've been sick for a week, can't I get out on dry land for a little
while?"
"Fine,
you watch her Kurt."
"Sure
thing," he grinned at Jean.
"I'm
going for information about this book."
"In
other words, he's going to get shitfaced," Jean muttered to Kurt, who
snorted.
"Jean."
"Bye,"
she called, dragging Kurt by his shirtsleeve.
Jean
was acting in a strange manner, catching Kurt's attention. Her head was tilted
as if someone were talking to her, it seemed she looked into people that spoke
to her rather than at them. "What are you doing, Jean?"
"I'm
listening."
"To
what exactly," he asked.
"To
thoughts."
"Ah,
so the witch thing is true," he smiled.
"You
have room to talk, people think you're a demon," she teased.
"Well
what are you listening for."
"For
a way to get paid," she turned as a tall man passed, with an expression of
interest.
"That
didn't look so much like work," he taunted.
"Wait
here," she spoke quickly, disappearing into the crowd.
"Oh
no."
Kurt
looked at his watch, an hour had passed. He was beginning to worry that she had
run into something she couldn't handle. "Kurt! Come on," she ran past
him suddenly with a large bag in hand.
"Jean,
where were you?"
"Later,"
she grabbed his hand, dragging him into an alcove as three burly men charged
past them.
"Does
this belong to them?"
"Not
anymore," she smiled charmingly. They ran blindly down streets and
alleyways toward the docks, skidding to a halt when the three men were spotted
right in front of the boat. "Shit, they found me out."
"Lucky
for you," Kurt grinned, hugging her around the waist. Wind rushed past
their ears, and they fell to the floor of Kurt's room.
"How
did you do that!"
"I'm
not just a good-lookin' guy, I've got talent as well," he winked.
"What did you get?"
"Take
a look," she offered the bag.
"Jean,
how-"
"Rhia
told you, no more peeking," she shrugged, taking the bag back.
