Port Royal went by her in a blur as that same time dilation at Sea also seemed to work on dry land. With some experimentation, Lucille was able to speed up and slow things down to either zip through quickly or  truly enjoy the immersive feel of walking the muggy streets with all the charms the 17th century had on offer from merchants and whores shouting their wares and grim-faced soldiers in English uniforms marching on patrol.<br/><br/>Soon she was standing before the palatial estate of the governor only to be rudely told to go in by the servants entrance and await the governor's pleasure. As she waited, a young woman walked through the hall and offered the striking pirate a quirked brow and a smile before making her way to another room.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">The Governor's Daughter</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://78.media.tumblr.com/c1f4c87c646c0c1dac6de1611f29bd56/tumblr_p1wzd4uYmC1si4tq9o1_500.jpg)</div></div><br/>After another half hour, a servant came forward and ushered Lucille into a well appointed if messy room where the middle-aged governor sat at a table covered in dispatches. "Ah! You are Captain Sinclaire, I understand! Welcome to Port Royal, the jewel of the Caribbean! As you no doubt know, we are at war with the perfidious Spanish and call upon all loyal subjects and allies to hinder their vile influence in our rightful territory. I charge you with seeking out their ships and offer you this Letter of Marque on behalf of the English crown to do so."<br/><br/>Licking his lips, he eyed her voluptuous form for a moment before continuing. "We have also heard rumours that Bart the Red is plaguing our ships in his vessel, the Whore's Tooth. There is a substantial reward if you can put his wretched career to an end! Now be off and fare well!"<br/><br/>With that, the servant ushered Lucille out and was about to take her off the grounds when a slender arm reached out to Lucille's and a lilting voice said, "I'll escort the captain." The governor's daughter took Lucille by the arm and walked her out, taking a brief tour of the gardens. "I trust you will forgive my boldness but I sense in you a soul I can trust and I must give you warning. My father has only a head for practical affairs of state and pays no heed to the gathering darkness." Stopping by a fountain, she took Lucille's hands and looked into her eyes with deep worry. "There are more dangers out there than cannons and cutlasses, squalls and shoals. A lurking horror goes about on the waves, I have seen it. I am gifted or cursed with visions and dreams that speak of some unseen danger. Please return safely and I will share with you more of my visions." With a furtive look, she gave Lucille a kiss on the cheek and then took her to the garden gate that led to the bustling streets. "Be safe and return to me, my captain."
