Commodore Norrington - Is this love?
A 'Pirates of the Caribbean' story
Chapter two. Search for Pirates. "Father? Is tea ready?" A feminine voice spoke. It belonged to a young woman - probably at the age of 20- who was wearing a beautiful rose patterned dress, most definitely shipped from abroad. "Yes yes, the servants have laid it out on the table in the gardens. I thought it would be a lovely vie- " "Father! Do not think you can make this discussion with myself and Commodore more than it is. It is merely about how the new recruits are doing, nothing else." Her face was stern. Governor Swann looked appalled but had a slight glitter in his eyes and a small smile on his lips. "Nonsense, I was merely stating that it would be a lovely view outside for you both." Elizabeth saw through his mercifulness but decided to change the subject. "Besides! I am a married woman!" she thrust a plain golden ring on her finger. "When is Norringt- " She was interrupted by a sharp tap on the large front door. A servant hurried to open it and curtsied when Commodore Norrington entered, wearing his fine hat and a polished medal glistened on his chest. "Good morning Elizabeth. You look lovely." He mumbled, blushing. Elizabeth smiled and laid out her hand, Commodore kissed it, a little too hastily. Norrington always became very embarrassed when he was in the company of Elizabeth. She smiled. "If you would like to accompany me to the dining room. I believe this is a more suitable place for a discussion. Father, make sure the servants bring the tea from outside." She lowered her eyebrows at the Governor and linking her arm with Robert, lead him to the dining room.
"Well, rather bluntly, I can say that the new recruits are.interesting. They seem a little..slap dash, I am sure they will improve in time." Norrington said. Elizabeth chuckled. "You know..it was a foolish idea of my father to take in any old fool for this job. You need stamina and quick wit and intelligence for this, like you of course." She nodded to him and he blushed again, the colour of his face clashing with his white curls. Norrington stared at her for a moment..those soft white cheeks, perfect red lips.. He could feel himself leaning towards her. Elizabeth looked slightly tense and realizing what he was about to do, Robert rose quickly from his chair and mumbled his apologies. He placed his hat on his head and made for the door before Elizabeth stood up and stopped him. "Norrington, what are you doing?! Where are you going?!" He paused and turned. "I ..need to see to the Dauntless, we set sail today. I won't be back for a day or so. Checking for pirates in the area.." Elizabeth stared at him. "Ok Commodore, take care of those new recruits. I know they are hopeless but I do not believe father will be happy if you let them go. I am sure you will teach them wonderfully." She smiled and left the room. Norrington sighed and left too..with a great deal on his mind.
