The Turning Tide

[Jacky]

"Good, that means I've managed to avoid you fairly well for over ten years." I conclude from that, just as easily. "And don't flatter yourselves, luv, it's hardly an admirable quality amongst those who have no reason to be proud."

[Daz]

"I have a lot more to be proud about than you. Your life is so dreary thesedays, you're well past your prime." I inform him, "And mine is in full-flow."

[Jacky]

I smirk at that, entertained. Her attempt at bickering misses its target by a long shot. "I see. Well, when I'm ready to pass down my legacy, you'll be first to know, luv." I promise her simply, returning my gaze to the sea with amusement in my eyes.

[Daz]

"The only legacy you have is in the form of a screaming brat belonging to an awfully dull woman." I decide, as his apparently infamous behavior doesn't impress me enough to qualify, "Which won't be around for much longer at this rate, you condenming her to death aboard here and all."

[Jacky]

"What issit to you?" I question, barely granting her a glance, "You're so awfully concerned - why? Let people live their own lives, Cassy."

[Daz]

"Because if it were my child I'd want at least someone to be concerned." I shrug and begin to head off again in a bad mood.

[Jacky]

"And since when are you concerned about other living beings?" I inquire simply.

[Daz]

I stop and look at him for a moment, "I am not in the least bit concerned with men and women, they have already built their sins up high enough to be knocked down again. Children are different."

[Jacky]

"And you suppose your concern could help them steer away from future sins. Ironic." I smirk at her.

[Daz]

I give him a sarcastic smirk in return, but then my face turns deadly serious again, "It's not their soul, its the fact someone innocent has to pay for your sins, Jack. Noone else needs that burden."
