"Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's like for… oof!" Alae stared up from the path toward the dock to see whom she had collided with, stumbling back in a drunken state. She grasped an almost empty rum bottle at her side and her eyes squinted to observe the man before her. Scrap that, definitely a pirate.
"Begging ye pardon, sir. But you seem to be in my way." Captain Megallen slurred, taking a last swig of rum before clutching the bottle to her chest with a stagger.
"Begging ye pardon, ma'am but I do believe you're drunk." The young man said, leaning in close to her face so she could smell the rum on his breath. Alae glared at his handsome face and tightened her grip on the empty bottle.
"So are you!" She retorted, somewhat annoyed at this stupid pirate whom had run into her and stopped her magnificent singing. Captain Megallen finally stopped squinting and looked up into his face, observing his kohl encased eyes and tanned face. His dreadlocks held beads and the like and a red bandana, like to Alae's, wrapped around the top of his head.
"What's ye name, lass?" The handsome pirate offered, squinting against the sun.
"What's yours?" Megallen answered back, eyeing him suspiciously. This mysterious pirate sighed in frustration and added, "I asked first." but upon seeing that the pretty thing in front of him wasn't going to budge in the slightest, he continued.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, at ye service." He said, with a pompous bow, stumbling slightly. Alae's mouth curved into a grin at his awkward gesture and also at the familiarity of his name.
"Ah." She said simply, her smile growing. Sparrow seemed perplexed and a tad frustrated again.
"Ah!? What in the devil is that suppose to mean?" He questioned her.
"Nothing." Captain Megallen added simply, trying to pass him. Jack stepped in front of her though and crossed his arms.
"Ah, ah, ah. You never told me your name." Captain Sparrow raised his eyebrows at her and she glared back at him.
"Captain Alae Megallen of The Mairess." Alae answered him in a bland tone, finally succeeding in passing him.
"Captain, eh?" He called after her but she did not turn around.
"Bloody women." He muttered to himself before heading back to the Pearl.
