"What? No!" Naomi crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed, but her eyes lied. A single curly lock of hair fell into her face, longer and curlier then most men had. She tucked it away quickly and stepped around the man. "Well, it was nice meeting you. Good luck with the whole pirate thing."

Kaleb was shocked - and intrigued - by this woman before him. As he continued to look upon her face he noticed how bright her eyes were and was entranced for a moment, and then she suddenly moved past him, mumbling a quick goodbye. "Wait!" he said, turning to follow and lightly catching her arm in his rough sea-hewn hands. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...I don't know. I didn't mean t'offend you." He met her gaze again, seeing through her disguise and wondering why she would hide such beautiful features behind this facade of manhood.

Naomi was grabbed and she stopped, looking down to his hand. Her eyes went up his arm and to his face, her own red. Her mouth opened and closed a few times, then a smile touched her lips.
"You didn't offend, sir. I was just worried something might happen. Most women here are... you know, so I'd rather hide myself." She coughed and gave an explanation anyway. She tipped her hat back with a thumb, letting her bright green orbs roam his attractive face. Wow...

His lips twisting into a shy smile, Kaleb released his hold on the woman's arm and reached his hand to her face. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly removed the hat from her head, hoping to release more of her beautiful curls that he had glimpsed.
"Well, milady, would you care to sit with me as a woman, just for a little while? I promise nothing but conversation, and possibly laughter, will occur."

Felt hr hair cascade to her shoulders, her eyes lowering in the sudden amount of shyness she had gained when staring at him. Naomi would have been more than happy to join him, her boots shuffling against the wood floor. Taking her hat from in, she hugged it to her chest.
"I'd love to, Mr..." She stopped and tilted her head, as if asking his name.

"Hawkins, milady. Kaleb Hawkins." Kaleb bowed and gave a little flourish with his hand, the feather of his hat pointing up into the air. He then grinned as he straightened, glad she had agreed to join him, and motioned to her. "And you are?"

Naomi giggled into her hand, quite glad that a man was decent enough. She committed his name and face to memory, both something she didn't want to forget any time soon. Giving a false curtsies, Naomi closed her eyes for but a second.
"Naomi Kings. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kaleb." She said sweetly, sitting herself down. She crossed her legs, which was very rare for her. If she was acting lady-like in even the slightest, this man must have done something with her head.

Kaleb sat across from Naomi, tugging idly at the silver hoop threated through his earlobe as he grinned. "Ms. Kings, may I ask why a lady such as yourself is residing in this perpetual bar fight of a town? Though you have shown to be adventure-seeking, in the least, you are much too pretty to be associating with scoundrels like these." With that he gave a wave which encompassed the tavern.

"Seems you won't hesitate with flattery, Mr. Hawkins." She smirked and leaned back in her seat a little, slender fingers curling a lock of her hair by her face. "My mother... has a late night job, so to speak. She's well known around here, and that gave her an excuse to protect me. I haven't seen the likes of this place since I was born, save for week or so ago. I started sneaking out, and I'm glad I did." If she hadn't, there was no chance she would have meet this very kind and attractive man.

Kaleb leaned forward, his elbows resting against the table, interested in what Naomi had to say.
"Adventure-seeking, alright." he chuckled. Then he sobered. "You've been locked away your whole life, 'ave you? You've never traveled? Seen the world? Been to town?"
