The light Irish lilt in her voice had a slight edge to it as she chastised the nearest crewman who had given her the odd look.<br/><br/>She adjusted her hat to better shade her face against the sun and settled against the railing of the ship.  Royce was in a good position to see the Captain throw her dagger, and the bright smile reappeared on her face.  She listened as the Captain spoke, eagerly drinking in each word.<br/><br/><em>Ah, Robby</em>.  She thought, mentally composing a letter to one of her old cremates from her Royal Navy days.<em>If ye could see how Captain Rosette is inspiring these men, strutting around confidently with the grace God gave angels, ye'd believe beyond a doubt that a woman can command a ship.</em><br/><br/><strong>"Will you be pirates with me?!”</strong>The Captain called out.<br/><br/>"AYE!" Royce shouted back, her voice drowned out by the cacophony of agreement, but her enthusiastic jumping up an down, a fist pumping in the air, could not be missed.
