"Nope, absolutley," I faked a smile and passed Jack another bottle of rum. "Captain Sparrow," I said, "We got off on the wrong foot, what do you say we start again?" I said, holding out my hand.

Landon James and Adelle Brinshaw entered the tavern, bickering in quiet voices back and forth to one another.
"Why do I have to ask him? You're the bloody one that wanted to know in the first place." Addy hissed at him. "Man up!"
Landon rolled his eyes at her, exaggerated, "You wanted to know as well. The whole damn crew wants to know. Plus, you get along with Jack the best, why should it be anyone but you that asks?"
"I don't get along with him the best, you nitwit." She muttered, "He only pays any attention to me because I have a pair of breasts, unlike any of the men on the crew."
"Exactly." Landon smirked and pushed her towards the table Jack was sitting at, "And that is why you are going to ask for the crew." Before she could object he'd managed to push her close enough.
Addy gave him and icy look over her shoulder, then glanced down at where Jack was sitting, talking to some barmaid she didn't recognize, "Captain Sparrow? The crew would like to know, because they're all a bunch of chickens to come ask you themselves and they make a woman do their jobs," She added in just to tick off Landon who was standing a bit behind her, "...would like to know when we sail off again. Whether they can find places to spend the night and enjoy themselves with the whores, you know."

I jerked my head up when I heard the new voice enter the conversation. Hoping they wouldn't notice me, I stepped to one side, pulling out a cloth and started to wipe up the spills on the table. I listened intently to what the girl had to say, hoping it wouldnt mess up my plans. Even if it did, I had plenty more up my sleeve, I just wanted to make sure I was one step ahead at all times.

"Su---", - Jack almost agreed drunkenly to start everything anew with Lola when he got interrupted. Raising his head and narrowing the eyes to focus on these two faces, he smirked, recognizing his crewmembers and, especially, Adelle.
"Good evenin', isn't it, Adelle?" - he grinned at her, offering the woman to share his bottle of rum and ignoring Landon completely. - "They might spend a night 'ere but be ready fer sailin' away tomorrow, we won't stay any long'r than that".
"Aye, so tell 'em they can 'ave fun with the whores as long as they want to, but they must be able to walk and work tomorrow", - he winked at her.

Tomorrow. That doesnt leave much time. I would have to work on Jack some more tonight, and if it was still a No from him, I would simple sneak aboard without him knowing, by the time, he realised, it'd be too late.
I tried to hide the smirk which threatened to spread across my face so I grabbed the bottle of rum from Jack and took a long swig.

"'EY!" - he turned to her in a spur of a second, snatching the bottle of rum from her abruptly. - "That's me rum!" - he shook his head disapprovingly and offered the bottle to Adelle once again, whispering: "These barmaids are so arrogant nowadays!" - he joked and stood up from the table, swaying slightly.
"Now, Landon, go and tell Johnson to watch out aboard, to guard the Pearl while everyone else is ashore. And don't forget to tell 'im that if he falls asleep, I personally will make him walk the plank as soon as we sail far enough to meet these pretty li'l sharks".

"Captain Sparrow?" I said, clinging onto his arm. "Since you're only the staying the night, you'll want to make the most of it," I said, smiling sweetly and sticking my chest out, "Can I get you some more rum?"

Jack turned to look at Lola, slightly surprised, but as soon as he was able to focus, his glance travelled immediately to her cleavage and he couldn't resist uttering a soft whistle.
"Ye're free", - he waved dismissively at Adelle and Landon, not even bothering to look at them, keeping his eyes on the barmaid instead. - "Sure, luv", - he addressed Lola, - "I'd definitely want to make the most out of this night", - a smirk curled his lips.
"Rum is always welcome".

"Great," Men! I thought to myself, show them a bit of clevage and they're yours for the taking! I grabbed a couple of bottles. "But hey, we cant have any fun with old grumpy features over there watching," I nodded to my boss. "What do you say to showing me around, especially since I'm new to this charming little town," I said, subtly brushing the collar of my shirt further open.

Landon nodded to Jack as he was given orders, then he leaned down close to Adelle's ear. "Tattle-telling wench." He growled at her.
"Cowardly bastard." Addy growled right back without turning her head to face him.
"Whore." Landon had played this name-calling game plenty of times with her.
Addy elbowed him in the stomach since he was behind her and Landon got sour and went away to do as the Captain had ordered him. She turned back to look at Jack and rolled her eyes to see him so intentive on the poor barmaid's cleavage.
Dear God, men have a one-train thought in their tiny little brains.
