<span style="color: #FF0000">Ross surveyed the rowdy scene unfolding before him, cowl over his head and a drink in hand. He noticed a girl pocketing the money given to her for drinks at the bar and he saw his captain dancing with one of his crewmates. He saw pirates chanting and carousing, or drinking, or stumbling. He also saw a few people that, like him, were more observers than participants in the chaos, sipping on a drink or just looking through calm, relaxed, or pensive faces. He was one of the latter, just a man sitting on a table with his feet on the bench where he should be sitting, pretending to be a part of the conversation at the table but really feeling as if he could care less about the mens' fabricated stories. He was just there because they offered him a free drink.<br/><br/>As he slurped up the last drop of rum in his cup, he tossed it aside and bid the men farewell. Then, feeling the speed at which he drank the liquor begin to cloud his mind, he jumped into the fray with a small grin on his face, picking up a lonely-looking lass as he strode to what roughly looked like a dance floor. She responded in kind, almost leading him over to the dance floor before they locked arms and began pirouetting across the other patrons. He caught sight of another man looking directly at him as he twirled his partner in similar fashion to Ross, and Ross took the opportunity to twirl her partner into the other man's arms as he did the same. The pirates chant came up, started by the girl who had been pocketing money for herself earlier, and Ross gave his partner a wry grin before leaning her backwards, just before she would fall over, bringing her back up, and gently leading her over to a table. He tilted his head at her before walking over to the girl who started the chant and sitting next to her.<br/><br/>"Drinks at a discounted price?" he asked, loudly enough to be heard over the music. He whispered the next part into her ear, "Not like I'd really rat you out for pretendin' to work here. But if you're keeping all the money for yourself, I figure I may as well ask whether I really have to give you all my money, ya know?"</span>
