Niamh wondered through the house, commandeering everything she thought was worth it. She kept to the shadows, avoiding the guards that where patroling there. She heard soft voices coming from the stairs. She went closer. She knew the curiosity had killed the cat, but she just couldn't help herself. So she moved closer and step by step the voice grew louder and still it was not much above a whisper. The sight was heartbraking, a young woman, sobbing her heart out on the steps.
For awhile Niamh just stood there watching, but then she took the few steps and touched the shoulder of the woman. Ever so gently trying to comfort her. She could see the irony, a pirate and a thief comforting thelady of the house, because with her clothes the figure couldn't be anything else...

Post by Lord Cutler Beckett on Nov 20, 2007 15:38:09 GMT
While in the Endeavor....
Cutler Beckett was in his cabin, of foot, supported on the hatch in which he could enjoy the wonderful sea, infinite and blue. Seldom it had gone out of his cabin, really it was giving the orders in his cabin and was informed by Gillette about the course of the trip of exploration. He alone was rising to the covering in the night, when really there was silence.His soldiers were looking at it in silence and were greeting it with respect but he was not returning them the greeting.
Alone was going out to admire the beautiful marine night scenery, to be able to feel the breeze of the sea on his face, a face that now was a little thinner and his darkest skin for the sun. Only he wanted solitude, wanted to be only alone. It had never been so cold as now, he it needed to be more than never. His thoughts were going towards Amandine.
He was wondering as her could have come up to his heart, a heart that was lost, which the bridge to come even had been constructed, but that of piracy was constructed... An intense pain was feeling when he was thinking about her and about his lost heir.... A Pain that made him fix his hands on the bow.

Amandine looked up slowly, a small whimper escaped her lips. She sucked in a breath, and wiped her eyes, "Who are you?" She asked, noting her clothing.
If this person was to hurt her, they could. Amandine was in so much pain she couldn't even stand.

Niamh thought about it. She was a pirate, but she couldn't tell her that. "A friend in your time of need" she told her softly, her eyes warm. She might lie and cheat, pillage and plunder, she might be a bad egg, but she hated to see people in pain, people who didn't deserve it. And for some reason she thought that Lady Beckett had done nothing wrong... well except marry her husband. And now she knew that she was talking to Lady Beckett... she had been in their wedding after all.
"You cannot lie here on the steps forever, sugar." She told her. "Can you stand?" she asked though Lady Beckett looked so fragile that Niamh doubted it.

Amandine's hand covered her eyes, embarrassed to be in this state. "I can not..." She sniffled harshly, obviously her breathing messed up. "It hurts," She whispered, "Hurts so much."

The life at sea had made Niamh stronger than most women and she easily picked Lady Beckett up. 'She is too light' Niamh thought.
"My lady, which is your room?" She asked her. After LAdy Beckett told her, she kicked the door open, hoping it wouldn't alert the remaining soldiers. She quickly walked to the bed and laid Lady Beckett there.

Amandine pulled the sheets over herself, and sat up with a wince. "I-I'm sorry, but did you see the ship The Endeavor leave?" Her voice was soft and still shaky.

"yeas, a few hours ago." Niamh said. Was that the reason why the lady was crying her heart out? Niamh looked at her and saw the pain in her eyes.

Amandine felt more tears slid down her cheeks, "Oh..." She said helplessly.

Jack had set sail for Tortuga, Charlotte also on board.
"I still fail to see why I must come with you!"
"You will see..." Jack spotted a ship ahead...The Endeavor. "My....Beckett is ahead."
"What? Are you meaning to tell me that Cutler is there?" Charlotte panicked.
"Yes, and he sees us." The Endeavor turned around to face the Black Pearl. "We must fight..."
"Or we could negotiate."
"I like your option."
