Chance Meeting
They met quite by accident.
A bit of a splash and a roar from the battlements— Elizabeth!— and he'd found himself taking the role of Reluctant Hero. He wondered what sort of Elizabeth allowed herself to come to such a pass, but soon found out 'allowed' wasn't quite the right word.
Damned corset! Came near to killing her, though her Da didn't seem to see it in that light.
And Norrington: the Scourge of Piracy. What did the fool think he was up to? Robbery? Or ravishment? With those bloody Marines right there?
Yes. An accident. Pure happenstance.
Wasn't it?
