<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Caleb turned watched as the horror went on, a disappointed disposition draped across his face. Daniel had gotten carried away again, hadn't he? Trying to stick his dick where nobody needed. The captain made his way across the quarter deck, and peered over the balcony at the young woman, the sun glinting off her dress and the blade she wielded against his young trice. Vaulting over the deck, he landed with a thud, just as the woman growled, obviously showing disdain for the literal sausage fest gathering around her. What she had failed to calculate was the number of enemy blades and pistols he had trained on her at that moment. Upon his landing, her head whipped around to look at him, casually strolling up to the scene with hands in his pockets, a cheery smile on his face. When he made it to the center of the circle, he spun around, surveying his men who stood in silent patience, waiting for the word to turn this young noblewoman into a punctured pincushion. Instead, he raised a hand for them to drop their weapons, which they did with a not so subtle hint of confusion.<br/>
<br/>
Turning back to the woman, who was now surveying him, he gave her a once over as well. She stood just shy of his height, her chin lifted up to show confidence. His shoulders stood broadly on his frame, arms muscled and toned to match his legs. He wore no shirt under his green turncoat, revealing a scarred and bruised torso from torture long ago. Past that, his disposition gave off an amount of arrogance that was only suitable for a pirate, a damn good one at least. Finally, Caleb gave a curt bow to the young woman, his eyes moving up to meet hers even in his strange bent shape. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4d4dff">"'Ello there! Captain Caleb Alexander Nightingale. I am the captain of this vessel, therefore the uh..."balls" as you say?...who kidnapped you. You may refer to me as Captain, or sir, yes?"</span> The man would straighten up, his smile remaining as he made his way over to his crewman who was still rather terrified at the sword placed against his adams apple. He reached over and nudged the sword out of the man's neck, allowing him to dash away from the blade's edge. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4d4dff">"I can personally assure you that Daniel has no need to fight you further. You've definitely found some fine training for a princess."</span> His voice was laced with the coo of sarcasm, lacking any true respect for his new hostage. She would know soon enough just what was going on.<br/>
<br/>
Footsteps were heard down below, big thundering ones. The rest of the men jumped as the sound got closer, quickly moving out of the way to reveal only Caleb and the noblewoman in the view of whatever was coming. The doors below deck burst open, and a young woman clad in gypsy dress clambered out, a string of insults pouring from her mouth. As she stood up to make her way over to Caleb, she noticed that he was accompanied by a woman she had not seen before. She would stop dead in her tracks, running out of words to say as she looked from her captain to the hostage and back. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#663300">"Cap'n...What is this here?"</span> Caleb shook his head and made a gesture to join him. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4d4dff">"It seems our young friend here has no idea how she got here or what she's here for. Any idea where or who she may have come from?"</span> He said with a hint of sarcasm, waiting for an answer. She hesitated before answering. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#663300">"I found a crate on the docks and I loaded it up, sir. She looked valuable so I took it for the sake of money purposes."</span> Caleb laughed and nodded and made his way back over to the young woman.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4d4dff"> "There you have it miss, you were kidnapped by somebody else. We merely happened to pass by and, say, rescue you?"</span> He laughs at this thought, receiving a hearty laugh from the rest of his men as well. He stood silently, waiting for her to answer.</span></span>
