*Will smiled at Evelyn as she said she would come and he nodded, watching as she left for the Pearl to tend to her eye. He glanced over at Eric and made mental note to ask what had happened between the two during the day...maybe it would explain what happened to her eye. He turned to speak to Jack when the door opened and he glanced over his shoulder to see Milly shyly approaching the group and he smiled, kneeling down so that he was level with her height. He nodded and gave her shoulder a gentle pat as she delievered his wifes message.* Great, thank you Milly we'll be there right away. *He stated, then grinned a little, notcing how intently she was avoiding eye contact with the others in the room. She was small enough for her age and so he hoisted her up so she could be level with Jack and Rose.* Milly, this is the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, and his equally daft daughter Rose. *Will stated, introducing her to the two, figuring she might enjoy that some. Then he smiled at her and set her back on the ground.* Go tell Elizabeth we're on our way now. *He gently added as he made ready to head for home.*

*Milly smiled as Will knelt down and looked up to him as he spoke. She gave a nod and was about to turn away to head for home, but was suddenly picked up by Will and in eye level of the adults. She giggled happily and listened nervously as she was introduced to Jack and Rose.*
*Folding her hands together anxiously and blushing shyly, she kept her eyes towards the ground until he was finished speaking. When she did look up, she could barely withhold a gasp of delight at the two pirates. As much as her mother would've liked her to be more of lady, she could be quite the tomboy at times, and pirates were one of her fascinations and fantasies she dreamed about as she played around outside with the boys in stick sword fights.*
"P-pleasure to meet you sur, Mister Captain Jack Sparrow and Mister Captain Jack Sparrow's daughter Miss Rose..."
*She was still rather amazed by the two pirates, her cheeks turning rosy and her smile spreading across her face. By now she was twisting her hands with eachother as she watched the two. When she was set down, she gave Will a thankful nod and bobbed down and up, intentionally trying to curtsy in greeting as she was taught.*
"Yes Sur I will sur, thank you Mister Turner!"
*She began heading for the door, barely able to contain herself from running out excitedly to tell the others. She saw Thomas, the one who usually escorted ehr on errands as he was older, watching from the window. Turning around at the door, she reached up and grabbed the handle as she spoke to them.*
"Bye Mister Turner sur and Mister Captain Jack Sparrow and Mister Captain Jack Sparrow's daughter Miss Rose!"
*Without realizing she was slowly leaning on the handle, the door opened with a creak and she jumped a bit as her focus was catching a last glimpse of the pirates. Giggling, she waved farewell, then caught herself and bobbed up and down again 'like a lady should' as a farewell*

Sarah smiled as Chris accepted the invitation. Good, Jack will be very pleased. We best be going now. Tis almost dinner time at the Turners. Best not be late. Sarah started heading towards the Turners, beckoning for Chris and Maria to follow.

(OOC: YAY!! Thanks for the info Will! Now I can go somewhere where people are.. all I kept seeing was conversations and no places) *Carrie whistled to herself and made her way further into the streets of Port Royale, she tipped her hat to many of the fine lookin' young men passing by. As she got to the main drag of the town she noticed Will's blacksmith shop was open and she heard voices coming from within. Mostly fimiliar bawdy ones that she had often heard on the ship. She had a distinct feeling that most of the crew was hanging around Will's shop. She went into the open door and smiled.* "Well fancy that, I found the rest of the crew, 'ello everyone, and 'ello Mister Turner it's a pleasure to finally meet ya."

" Miss Sarah, I'll be sure to meet you at the Turners. I have to get washep up.." * Chris bowed before he left to his home to get ready for the dinner. He slowly creaked open the door and threw his coat off. After washing up he glanced at himself in the mirror before exiting the door and began to head to the Turners. When he had arrived he saw Maria and Sarah standing at the door.* "Maria!" * He cried out to the young girl*
* Maria waved goodbye for now to Chris and followed Sarah to the Turners. When they arrived at the door she heard someone call her name. Maria turned around to see Chris well dressed and cleaned* " Yer just in time.." * Maria smiled and knocked on the door awaiting for some one to answer*

Sarah and Maria silently walked to the Turners. When the reached the door Chris called out to Maria. He must have known a shortcut, thought Sarah. Sarah searched in her cloak pocket for something as Maria knocked on the door. Sarah then pulled out a key. No need to knock Maria, last year for a birthday present the Turners gave me a key to their house and said I was welcome anytime. Sarah smiled as she unlocked the door. She showed Maria and Chris to the dining room and then left them to head for the kitchen to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Rose had waved to Eric and Evelyn as they came in; she'd noticed the tension between them, but didn't comment. Another reason to avoid love - it could end up like that.
She grinned at Milly and waved to her as well, laughing after the young girl. "Sweet lil' thing, ain't she?" She then turned to glare at Wil. "'S an insult t'Dad t'insist that anyone's even close t'bein' as daft as 'e is. 'll be honoured if I c'n come close, one day..." She grinned in delight at the prospect of dinner. "Excellent, 'm starved...can' wait t'get some decent food!"
Truth be told, Rose was also looking forward to seeing Mark again. She didn't want to admit to herself that it was nice - strange, but nice - to recieve attention from a man. A polite one, who was also a pirate, no less...she knew that once he got to know her, he'd probably come to his senses and run like mad. But still...seeing him would be nice...

*Will laughed as he watched young Milly around the Captain and his daughter. As she turned and left he gave her a smile and a wave then looked back at Jack and Rose and grinned, shaking his head a little.* Some people act like you are bloody royalty! *He exclaimed with a bit of a laugh. People seemed to treat the pirates in two ways, like they were filth or like they were the Gods in legends. Throughout Wills own life he had thought of them as both, although since two years ago learned to think of them as the latter. He nodded at Rose as she commented about Milly.* Yes, she is. And she's always trying to help. *He laughed. He glanced over his shoulder as he heard a young womans voice greet him from the doorway and he smiled, waving at her.* Hello! I'm afraid I don't know your name. *He stated, looking her over to see if he recognized her. He didn't but assumed she was apart of Jacks crew. He reached out and grabbed her shoulder as he walked towards the door to head for home.* I'm hoping you're going to come to the house for dinner! Elizabeth is a great cook...believe it or not. *Will said, flashing a grin in Jacks direction. By looking at his wife and the way she acted you wouldn't expect such fine meals out of her...but she always delievered! He led the others from the shop, locking it up behind him and he glanced towards his house and with a wave of his hand headed towards it, letting them all inside where he showed them to the dining room. As he spotted Maria he smiled at her and gave her a nod with his head then his eyes wandered over to the young man beside her whom he didn't know.* Good seeing you again Maria! *He exclaimed, still finding that same strange familiarity in her as he had the last time he met her.* And who is this fellow? *He asked, taking a seat as well. With all the chairs set up around the table it was a rather cramped space.*

As Evelyn spoke with Luis a bit a small smile formed across her lips. It seems he HAD changed...or at least he had gone back to his old self, the one she had fallen in love with really...and she found herself already enjoying his company again. "I hope I wasn' TOO much 'f an ass to ye then before. Ye know in tha' tavern. An' I'm sorry that HE interrupted us." Evelyn said with a bit of a groan. Her honeyed eyes stared about the docks and she notice Maria and Sarah as they had headed away and into Port Royale, seemingly heading for somewhere.
Luis looked Evelyn over with a soft smile and rubbed the bit of stubble upon his face. "Do not worry, you were ALWAYS a bit of a fiery senorita anyway." He told her with a small wink and nudge. "Besides, I am simply happy you have allowed me to come aboard anyway. I have been without a place in this world for about four months and in this time I have been SO lost." He sighed heavily as he rubbed the back of his neck.
Evelyn listened intently and her eyes travelled across his face gently. He was still the ever handsome one she remembered from her past but she shook her head. As nudged her a bit she gave a small chuckle and looked over at him. When he rubbed the back of his neck Evelyn found herself remembering Eric for a moment, it was something Eric had done quite often and she had known this trait, but she shook it out of her mind again. "Righ' then. I think we should be headin' to the Turners' home. Dinner should be about ready..." Eve's honey eyes turned to the horizon as the sun began to sink and bright pinks painted the skies.
"I'll, er, be right back." And with that Evelyn went below the decks to go...oddly enough, fix herself up a bit. She made her way to her cabin and removed the black scarf and let out her long, brown, ringlets. She combed her hand through them a bit and looked at her reflection in her mirror. She looked at her blackened and bruised eye and frowned. "Well...nothin' I can do 'bout that really...he won' mind..." she muttered and then she blinked. WHAT? He? What was she saying? WHY did she suddenly care what he thought?
Eve shook her head. "No...jus'...no Eve." She told herself calmly and left her room promptly. Heading up to the deck she joined Luis and decided to just walk with him to the Turner's home.
Luis blinked as Eve came upon deck and he smirked. "Your curls...I had almost forgotten you had such beautiful hair." He spoke as he headed away a bit.
Evelyn furrowed her brows a bit at his compliment but she shrugged. He was just being nice really and so with that they headed towards the Turner's home. As they reached it Evelyn knocked and was promptly let in with a bit of a downcast look, nothing she wasn't used to by now really. " 'ello mate...is the food ready yet then?" She asked the servant. "Erm...no. Almost." He told her as he turned his nose up at her a bit. Evelyn shrugged at this and Luis gave a hearty laugh.
"This home is beautiful." He spoke as he looked about in awe of it. "You know, this is ALMOST the most beautiful thing I've seen." Luis said as he gave Evelyn a wink, hoping she would take his charms in stride.
Evelyn shook her head at him a bit but smirked slightly. "I hope ye don' mean ME because I'm DEFINATELY not the most beautiful, 'M startin' ta think ye need ta get yer eyes checked." She laughed as she looked about the many fine things in the home, biting her nails, and feeling a bit out of place in this scenario. How Eric could ever live like this was beyond her really.

* Sarah had shown them her key she had gotten for her birthday. She led them into the dining room where they waited. Suddenly the turning of the door knob alerted her some one else was coming she stood in the room's door way, leaning against its frame to see Will and the rest of the crew being led in. She smiled and walked towards Will and her crew* " Why 'ello Will.. Good te see ye too.." * Maria took a seat across from Will while Chris sat beside her. Maria looked up at Will and still saw a familiarity she had the last time they were togather. He questioned who the fellow was beside her. She took a quick glance to her side at Chris and turned back to Will.* " Oh this is Chris.. I don't really know 'im just met 'im this mornin'. t' was Sarah's idea to invite 'im. I 'ope ye don't mind.."
* Chris heard the door open and he followed Maria into the door way, spotting a young man leading people in. That must be the crew.. he thought to himself. When they all seated he asked Maria who he was. Chris looked up at Maria then at Will as she answered* " I hope you don't mind, Mr. Turner..."

*Eric smiled as Milly came into the shop announcing dinner and growing more than excited as Will introduced her to the pirates. He had seen her quite a few times, needing no introduction himself. As she left and WIll locked up the blacksmith shop he gave his friend a slap on the shoulder.* I'll catch up. *He stated. Will nodded at him and Eric trotted off towards his house. When he entered it he frowned a little and groaned, some how he had forgotten the earlier events in the day that involved his home. He shrugged it off, figuring he would deal with it later as he scurried into his bedroom and pulled out a nicer shirt and pants from beside the bed. He slipped the crisp white baggy shirt on over his head and stepped into the loose black pants then ran his fingers through his hair quickly. His hair was relativly easy to maintain seeing as to how he generally just kept it tossed about upon his head. He glanced at himself in the mirror and for a moment pondered inviting Elinor. However he quickly decided against it, remembering how uneasy she was with just Evelyn proved to him that she would probably pass out being surrounded by even more pirates. He laughed a little at this and shook his head as he headed out, swiftly making his way towards the Turners. He enjoyed the Turner home in the fact that it greatly reminded him of his old home as a child before it had burned down in the tragic fire that had taken his sisters life and ultimatley led to the death of his father. However at the same time he felt as if he didn't fit in, as if he needed to be far more proper than he was just to appeal to those in the classier neighborhoods, such as Elinors for example. He paused on the Turners porch for a moment then slipped inside, seeing as to how the door was unlocked. As he walked in he smiled and nodded his head to those in the dining room and then he spotted Evelyn with Luis and for a brief moment his jaws and fists clenched but he forced himself to relax and nodded to them as well. He gave Will a smack on the shoulder.* Looks like you'll have quite the housefull tonight. *He stated, then made his way into he kitchen to say hello to Elizabeth. He walked up to her and smiled at Sarah as she was in there as well.* Hello again Sarah, Elizabeth. Good to see you both! *He said, reaching out and hugging his friends wife. He sniffed the air and nodded in approval at the delicious smell as he swantered back into the dining room and sat down at the opposite end of the table from Evelyn and Luis, now almost wishing he had brought Elinor.*

*Carrie smiled at Will and said* "Well how rude of me! My name's Carrie Barker and I would love to come to dinner! I haven't had a good homecooked meal in quite a while! It heartens me to know that there are people here in Port Royale who give such polite hospitality to people like me." *She was then a bit silent and awkward as she was led away to the Turner's house. She hoped that eventually she would get the courage to join a coversation.*

Post by Evelyn on Aug 3, 2004 12:25:08 GMT -5
Evelyn looked about and then she blinked. Her eyes stared about the home and she sighed heavily. A few of the maids were running about as she stole a glance into the kitchen and then her eyes landed on the dining hall. "Luis mate, I s'ppose we better take our seats." Eve told him as she took a glance over her shoulder at him. She looked about and sighed at it all. This was what she never had really...something she could never have had really. Evelyn bit her lip and headed towards one of the chairs.
" 'ello Will." She said giving him a smile and a wave. "Thanks again fer invitin' us over." She told him as she looked over the fine dinnerware. Her fingers danced over the silver and she blinked at the crystal cups in front of her. Her hand went towards it, daring to grab hold of it but she stopped. It was as if she was afraid to break it, not really trusting her hands.
Looking over she smiled at Maria who was already sitting with someone she did not recognize. "Maria mate! Good ta see ye...who's yer friend?" She asked her lifting a brow. She looked the lad over, he was young, but she supposed if he was to join them on the ship then it wouldn't matter much, they needed an extra arm on the ship really, you were never short of help on the high seas.
Suddenly, Eve looked directly ahead. She groaned slightly as Eric sat across from her. "Bloody 'ell..." she muttered a bit. Eve ran a hand through her hair but decided to not make a scene and just be as polite as she could be, as polite as she would allow herself to be a the moment. And then, as she looked over his face with furrowed brows, she felt sad. How had it gone from her once smiling at the mere sight of him, to her now being angry, upset, and uncomfortable all at the same time...life changed she supposed...although, at the moment she desperately wished it wasn't able to change this way. So abruptly, as if someone had pulled the chair from under her, only this time, it was her heart that had been yanked away so abruptly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Luis looked Evelyn over as she called to him and he groaned. "Dios mio..." he said shaking his head a bit as he walked over to her. He wondered how long he'd exactly have to remain around her, how much of his charm would it take for her to spill the beans on their plans, what they were intending to do, and WHERE was the map.
His eyes darted around as he took a seat next to her, giving her a warm smile as he sat down. Looking around he wondered how a woman like her had such decent friends. Frankly he was surprised to be dining in a place like this through a connection Evelyn had. He eyed her curiously and he noted that she had all of a sudden become timid at the whole situation. She was not used to this kind of thing he wagered and so, he forced himself to look as uncomfortable as well, but really, back in Spain he had had his generous share of parties, banquets, and balls.
And then there was his Maria..but she had left him some months ago and frankly, he didn't really care. Her family had been the rich ones and they thought that at the very least Luis would be the honorable type of man that would give their daughter a fine husband, but they were cheated of this seemingly perfect union when Maria met Eduard.
No matter, he was fine with it really. He had cared for her, but when one turns you down that way, it is best to let it go and live on really. Looking at Evelyn's face carefully he smiled, and from somewhere deep down, he wondered if he HAD gone back for her, would they have been happy together? He shook his head, of course not, she was different...nothing suitable, he thought...
And yet he could not deny that he HAD indeed loved her. All those quiet moments they had spent together were still in his mind really, she had been the one to offer friendship when he saw no hope in ever escaping there alive. He gave a small smile looking at her grin, perhaps it had been better he had left her, perhaps...

Mark began to make the finishing touches to his clothes and hair to make sure he didn't look to much like a peasant. He grabbed a bottel of cheap wine and decided he would take it to the dinner, he figured it would be welcome. He started out the door and towords Will's house. He'd never been to such a large house before. The walk there was quite enjoyable, there was a soft breeze and the birds were singing. When he got there he was amazed at the size of the house, to him it was more of a castle than a house. It was just huge! When he entered there were already some people there. He didn't recognize most of the people, he put the wine on the dinning room table and stood in the room. He felt strange, for everyone else seemed to know one another.

Rose grinned at Will. "What, y'mean we're not?" she asked in a tone of mock horror. As they left the shop and headed to the Turners', Rose suddenly stopped, clapping a hand to her forehead. "Oh God! I completely fergot! Will, mate, I gotta run back to th' Pearl an' get Hawk...'e doesn' like t'be apart from th' ship. 'E'll kill me if 'e learns I left 'im outta this...'ll be back soon!" With that, she darted off towards the harbour.
Hawk had been looking out at the horizon when he heard footsteps running towards the Pearl - he turned in surprise to see Rose, panting as she waved at him. "Rose?" he asked, blinking.
"'S me name, dear brother," she replied with a grin. "Th' crew's 'avin' dinner at th' Turners'. We're all invited. I figured ye'd never f'rgive me if I left y'out."
"Well, y'were righ'," Hawk said with a grin, getting off the ship and offering his arm to Rose. "Shall we?"
Rose grinned and took her brother's arm; that was how they arrived at the Turners'. "Food!" Rose cried in delight when she saw it, and nearly attacked the table.
"Down, sis," Hawk groaned, restraining her. "Sit down. Learn some manners, girl..."
"'m a pirate," Rose retorted, sitting. "Wha'd I need manners for?" She was looking around for Mark while trying not to make it seem like it...she didn't want her brother getting protective.
Hawk shook his head, sitting beside her. It would be a long dinner...
