Jacoda was shifting side to side. He was acting a fool with his food merely because she seemed to expect it. He was only aiming to please...in a manner of speaking. She expected it and so he went from not doing it to doing it in order to give her what she seemed to want. In his own round about way he was trying to please the woman who was to be his bride. That and rebel about having no choice in the matter. She already hated him and so what was the difference if he acted a fool with something as trivial as his food or not? He blinks and looks at her. "Which would be what?" He asks again. "Why would my father mention something he has never done before? My father is no better with settling down with a woman than I have been."<br/><br/>He pauses for a moment before resuming. "Most women I know are too stuffy and were those god awful torture devices lady king says are called corsets. If you ask me I think they are made to hinder ones breathing as well. I would experiment with such a thing but it would be rather pointless being I have no breasts that need boosting and my stomach is quite happy breathing." He was merely joking around of course he would never experiment with such a thing unless he needed to go in disguise to escape the navy. "Though if it was to escape the royal navy there is no doubting I would do just about anything even going in disguise as a stuffy land woman." He blocked the next smack with his spoon.<br/><br/>He looked back to Elizabeth. "Might I also add that have you ever known my father to actually sit still long enough to hold a conversation about something so trivial in the entire time you have known him?" He asks. "So to make sure you understood the answer I have given you the answer to that is no." He looked to Cecelia. Her voice was beautiful and musical and he felt himself drawn into it. "Beautiful name and it suits you as well. Your voice matches your appearance in beauty but the name goes so far as to accentuate it." He says in a serious way for once. It was gone as soon as it came however and he looked back at her after sneaking a look to Elizabeth to make sure she wasn't swinging at him again.<br/><br/>"Oh. Interesting. That is quite wonderful to hear and makes me wonder if someday I could see under the sea as well as above it. My father would be so jealous considering he has sailed =ll of the seas searching for immortality." He shrugs a bit. "What are some things you like to do when your not forced by whoever forced you here as lady king has me to be here?" He was attempting the best he can to interact and not all of it was because he didn't want to keep being smacked on the back of the head.
