Nate took a long look in the taverns mirror as he waited for the lady captain to respond, he noted that a few of his crew were gambling at the card tables and one was having rotten luck from the looks of it.<br/><br/>As she responded Nates smile increased in size, and he laughed at the bartenders joke “Aye, Nothing wrong with knowing what you like” he responded to the barkeep and the captain with a twinkle of laughter in his eye and voice. He watched the lady captain sip her rum as he took a drink of his own, then she asked him a question to which he shook his head “No, Ma’am I’ve been here a couple of times before” he paused as a breeze blew in to the tavern and he glanced in the mirror again and thought he recognized one of the men who entered the tavern but continued on “Once on my first cruse to the Bahamas as a midshipman and then a few years later when I was first mate” he said with a little bit of pride creeping into his voice .<br/><br/>He noted the game his poor luckless crewmember was in got heated and guessed from the look that the woman beside him shot at the table that the suddenly friendly man at the table was one of her crew, as she turned to him he noted that she was very striking and the coat and hat only accented her features.<br/><br/>He bowed slightly at her introduction and removed his hat “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Nathanial Hawk at your service, Captain” As Nate replied he was taken aback as a voice from his past spoke to them, he turned to the voice and grinned “You old brigand, what are you doing here” he called to Roth who stood nearby showing him his empty canteen, Nate nodded and motioned to the barkeep to fill his old acquaintances drink.
