Roux nodded at the twin's arrival, noting just how alike the pair of them were. He shook his head and then turned his attention to Evelyn. He could tell what she was thinking from the look in her eyes. The Navy would be insane to try and dock here. but he really did always wonder if a certain persistant Commodore wouldn't try one day.
Norrington was a strong willed and prideful man. And while he let Jack Sparrow go before, recent news coming in was painting a very different picture. He was becoming ruthless, almost obsessive with hunting down pirates. it was not safe to be anyplace near Port Royal, even flying under a flag of truce from what he'd guess.
he wondered how Jack felt about this, not being able to visit his friends, the Turners. but knowing Jack he'd probably think of a way on his own. and as Lily mentioned shopping, and Evelyn mentioned she'd seen Jack and Tobbs, he'd decided to seek out the captain first and maybe catch up with Lily. he needed some more drawing parchment and coal to draw with. His own supply was running low.
maybe it'd be better to let Tobbs and Jack have some time alone now. "Lily, I'll come with you, if you'd like. I need some things, and we can find everyone else, if none of you want to join us now."

Rhys had checked and checked all around. The man was no where to be found! He must have left on a new ship as his old one was still docked. The crew had even explained to her that he had asked for some time away. She shook her head and started a nice jog down the street. Pirates and theives alike jumped out of her way as she bolted down the streets.
The theif skidded to a stop in front of a lovely beaten down shop. A small crowd of her ship mates was forming in the middle of the street and she could not help but laugh. With an evil grin stretching across her face, she ran forward grabbed on to Eve's arm and started to run towards Tortuga. "I'll bring her back later! Tell Eric sorry!" she shouted over her shoulder as she pulled the woman along.

::Leesil watched the crew converge and talk a while. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he watched all the same. They seemed to be talking about what they'd be doing.....::
::Then Rhys came bolting out of nowhere and he didn't quite dodge in time. Or rather, he dodged, but his fot hit a rock and he went tumbling down, and landed flat on his back. Startled as to how this had happened, he sat up, shook out his now distinctly ruffled white hair and brushed the dust from his clothes.::
::Somewhere between annoyed and amused he shouted at Rhys:: "Oh, don't worry about me, I'll be just fine!" ::his voice edged in sarcasam. He really did look somewhat silly, being annoyed with the dust on his clohes, when most everyone in Tortuga didn't bathe on a regular basis::

Rhys spun around quickly at the indignant shout behind her. Her eyes connected with the white haired man behind her. She let out a small squeal of happiness and let go of Eve's arm to turn around and jump on the man.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him, as the pair tumbled to the ground in a mess of arms and legs. "Dar!" she shouted in his ear. "Where have you been hiding?! Your crew told me you had left already!" She clung to him happily. "And why didn't you get out of my way in time, mister?! You know me better than that!"
She wanted to kiss him, but figured that would get strange looks from the pirates near them. She giggled and just pulled him closer. For some reason, she was extremely happy to see him, even if he was from her darker past.

::Leesil blinked, startled to see Rhys bounding towards him, and a instant later he was back on the ground. Rhys was acting as if knew him....Who in the name of the High Seas was Dar? He got himself into a sitting postion and raised an eyebrow, wondering what to do::
::His trickster nature took over and he smiled a brillant smile, and his pale eyes glittered:: "They did now? Well, I do have a ship I was planning on sailing out soon. Maybe they thought I'd left already!" ::He grinned and got gracefully to his feet and held out a hand to help her up:: "as for getting out of your way, one can only do that if they see the blow coming first...which I did not......"

"Sailing out without sending me word? Dang you're in trouble mister!" Rhys stated poking the man in the chest. "And if I find out you sent Ry word and not me you're going to have one angry Rhys after you!" She pretended to be angry, and to give him a hard glare, but she couldn't keep the smile off of her face.
"And where were you headed, anyway? Not back home, I hope? You know that the minute you set foot on the ground there they'll kill you!" Her expression changed from one of happiness to curiousity and worry. If the man was headed home, she would have to get the Captain's help. She would need someone to help her tie him up and stick him in the cell on the Pearl.. Perhaps Roux or Eric would help her...

::Leesil's face registered confusion for about a split second, but it was gone as fast as blinking and he shook his head:: "No...no not home. I'm not that foolish." ::In truth he was thinking about his true home, as Puck. It was a fool's errand to return there as well.::
"I was thinking about just sailin'....havin' an adventure......but you're with the Black Pearl, right? Maybe I'll join with you.....if your captain lets me......" ::Leesil tilted his head considering her face. Whomever this Dar person was she cared about him. That worried him, Leesil didn't know just how well he could fake being this man. ::
"What brings you to Tortuga anyway? just stopping in, or staying a while?"

Rhys grinned, her happiness flooding back at his words. The thought of having him join the Pearl for a while was making her laugh. She could just see how he would get along with the Captain. It would be something to see! With a jump, she hugged him and nodded. "We'll have to ask the Captain, though I have no clue where he is. Tobbs probably stole him," she answered with a small grin.
"I'm actually not to sure if we're staying for a while or what. All I know is that I fell to the deck and a little while later we were here. Ack! You can not let me forget to meet Emma at the new tavern!" she rambled on. For some reason this man was making her talk more than she usually did with Dar. It was strange, he just seemed more open and willing to chat. Usually she had to pry it out of him, but she liked this!
"Where were you headed now, though?" she questioned.

::Leesil listened to her talk patiently, learning as much as he could, his elfin like face calm and reserved. When she asked where he was heading off to he shrugged lightly::
"I didn't have any real plans for the day. I suppose that in Tortuga everyone's goal is to simply not get shot and stay alive. I've accomplished this so far, so I am yours for the rest of the day. Do you want to meet your friend Emma? or stay with your friends?" He said gesturing to the group of crewmen over her shoulder::
::Leesil's eyes focused in momentarily on the group, commiting each one's face to memory. Then he looked back at Rhys. :: "what is it that you wish to do?"

Rhys said nothing. She reached out and grabbed Dar's arm, before turning and pulling him towards Eve. Grabbing the woman's arm with her other hand, she took off again dragging the two behind her. "Dar meet Eve, Eve Dar!" she called as she pulled them down the street.
"I was in the middle of kidnapping Eve, when you decided to get my attention, so now you get to come with us!" she called over her shoulder as she ran. She wove in and out of people, knocked some over, and even jumped one or two. She was on a mission, and nothing was going to stop her.

::Leesil yelped, startled that he was being pulled along again, and he glanced at Evelyn, as she was being dragged along with him:: "A pleasure, and you have my sympathy if you've had to stay aboard a ship with this girl, Rhys here....." He said with a grin.:: "Rhys, before you dislocate my arm, or what's let of it, care to tell me just where you plan on dragging us?"
::He had a feeling this Evelyn of hers had no idea where they were going either, or he would have asked. But Rhys clearly had a desitnation in mind, so he'd go right along with her if it meant getting on good terms with Jack Sparrow's crew.::

Rhys skidded to a stop and turned around to look the pair in the eyes, "Now tell me, why would I tell you where I was taking you? That would take the fun out of it!" She kept her hands tight on their arms to keep either pirate from attempting to escape her. Without much of a movement, her eyes gazed around the street, "Besides we're here!"
She loosened her grip slightly as the theif turned and pulled the pair into a dingy looking tavern. Shouting, and drunken songs drifted out as Rhys pulled the door open. She had been in these taverns so much, when she was younger. At one point she had even tried her hand at working in one, obviously though that had not worked out.
With a small smile, she drew her two friends to a table in the back. "Now I can't exactly challenge Emma to a drinking contest sober, so we're here to get me slightly drunk!" she explained with an innocent grin.

::Leesil looked around at the room, raising an eyebrow once more:: "But, Rhys, I thought the goal of a drinking contest was to see just how many drinks one could hold. if you get drunk now you'll be in no condition to have a contest..maybe eating something would be wiser......to help soak up the rum...."
::He thought this through then added:: "of course you'll have one hell of a hang over afterwards........" ::But he was smiling, amused that he'd somehow gotten dragged into this odd situation. Not that he minded, it was turning out to be quite fun really....::
::Just then a shoe went flying by his head and he ducked it. A fight broke out in the corner of the room and Leesil watched, his face one of mild curiosity. He looked about ready to hedge a bet on who would win this fight. He was betting the one with the broken botle would win. His pale eyes followed the progress of the fight, and for a split second his eyes flashed a much deeper green, nearly black, as a chair came flying towards them::
::He instinctivly reached for his two companions, and pushed them down, as the chair flew by, his shoulder taking the hit. He blinked, and looked at the thrower as if this were only a mild irritation.:: "Really now, that might have done some real damage....."
:;and he made to leap into the fray for the sheer fun of it....::

Rhys snorted in defiance, "Food? What is food going to do? It'll just make my stomach be able to hold less! Besides, its not like I actually think I'm going to win this contest! Emma... Emma has a bottomless pit!" She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted at the table. For some reason she was in a very very playful mood. She could smile and giggle or pretend to cry and pout; something she was never caught doing.
Suddenly, however, Rhys and Eve were shoved to the floor and Dar was hit by a flying chair. She looked up just in time to see Dar ready to jump into the fight. She shook her head and called out, "Dar! No!" She didn't know what she was thinking, they were on Tortuga, it was perfectly fine. But for some reason her mind was stuck on the days of her childhood. She could see her brother and Dar both launching themselves into a fight. She watched held back by others, as their blood started to flow and Dar fell to the ground unconcious.
"Dar!!!" she called out still lost in her dream world. Her eyes watching as he fell hard.

::Leesil crouched, ready to launch himself forward, like a cat ready to jump on a mouse. When Rhys called for him to stop. He looked over his shoulder, and straightened, but didn't turn around right away. He looked over his shoulder at her:: "Rhys? Are you feeling all right? It's just a fight."
::They were in Tortuga. fights were what people did to pass the time. Leesil himself had won enough of them to not be afraid. Unless this Dar person was suposed to be afraid, he didn't know. So he turned around and then sat at the nearest table.:: "Well, I'm hungry. Hopefully this place has food that isn't a danger to one's health...."
::At that he gestured to the man behind the bar who only grunted and came over:: "What'll you have?" He asked. Leesil frowned a bit hen answered. "Some food....and something to get this one...." :Here he gestured at Rhys:: "drunk as soon as possible....."
::Not finding this request at all strange, the man left to do just that. Leesil turned to Evelyn and Rhys with a half smile::
