Rhys trailed behind the group silently, her years as a theif had taught her to walk silently anywhere and she found that using these skills she could fade away. She did not know many of the crew and this meant that no one would bother her. It made it easier for her to slip from their minds and fall to the back of the group.
The jungle surrounded her and she watched with interest as animals made their way about their lives. Tropical birds flew over head in search of food and shelter. Around them she could hear the sound of frogs, the constant humming of bugs, and the ocasionally cry of a jaguar. The latter made her skin crawl and she moved a bit closer to the group to ensure her safety.
The woman's attention was divided between the wonders of the jungle and the almost animal like bantering going on in the crew. The Captain and another woman ran off ahead of the group. The two she had spoken to on the boat, were teasing each other over a snake. She grinned, watching them. They were perfect for each other, in an odd way. Reminding her of two friends from back at home. Grinning, her gaze drifted to two young men, they looked to be brothers and certainly acted like it as they bantered back and forth.
Her eagle eyed watching, gave her something to think about. She knew what this crew was like. They were close, a tight knit family, almost. They could joke around and tease each other easily. They were friendly, as had been proved when she was rescued. And they looked as if they would giive their lives for each other. Sighing wistfully, she turned her attention back to the jungle.

::Jack blinked as Evelyn drew near and sort of smiled at her and chuckled lightly hoping to break that tension up: "Well...she started it." He smiled a sparkle of gold showing.::
::He honestly did think about sprinting for the jungle.....really seriously considered sprinting for it....then...well....some sort of weird ego driven pride took over and he paused waiting for two reasons. One, simple pride. He didn't run from a confrontation of any sort. And two....well..how was it?::
::He waited, afraid to breath:

Kalin, being Kalin rounded on Sarah first, a smile playing over his face.
"Hello there. Kalin Wilde at your service." He said, took her hand and bowed. Then he smiled releasing her hand and gestured over his shoulder to Jason. "And that lump on a log over there is my twin, Jason."
The two really did look alike. Same huge gray eyes, same wildly wavy hair that seemed to have a "devil may care" attitude of it's own and wide smiles. But while Jason looked mildly sane, Kalin looked wild as the wind.
He smiled still and looked at Jason then Sarah again. "Well, we are newer. Some storm though eh?"#nosmileys

Jason eyed his brother with the look of a man unsure of said person's mental health. He smiled, gave Sarah a much mildler greeting. "Hello." He said simply and slapped his brother once over the head.
"behave yourself." He muttered and gave Sarah an apoligetic look. As if to say sorry for all his brother's misdeeds past present and future alike.
He also noted Rhys looking there way and nodded a soft greeting at her and waited calmly for Kalin to stop his flirting so that they could keep walking.

Kalin grimaced at the slap to the head and looked at Jason curiously. "who said I was misbehaving?" He asked and waited fora explanation. Jason however was silent, looking around the forest.
Kalin refocused attention back around to Sarah and smiled. "I think Jason wants to be going. Walk with us?" He asked.

Lily had disembarked with everyone else and made into the forest with some misgivings. She's never been in a forest like this before.
And pretty soon monkeys were drunk, snakes were being flung and a sort of general playful chaos had exploded. She laughed and walked by them all, amused.

Rhys was once again watching the crew when Jason aknowledged her presence with a nod. She smiled slightly at him and nodded back before averting her eyes towards where Eve was standing with the Captain. Her attention wavered again and she yawned.
It wasn't long later, when she heard the Captain call for a break. The group gathered and sat down, making themselves comfortable. Water and rum was taken out and passed around. Even a bit of food was tossed around. Rhys curled up a bit away from everyone and closed her eyes. She must have dozed off because she woke to the sounds of yelling and the feel of hands on her, pulling her.
Her eyes shot open, she didn't like being touched. It brought back too many memories. Looking around wildly, she caught a look at her captures. They were big, brown, dirty potatoes. They had grim looks on what had to be their faces and long arms and legs. With a scream she started squirming in their grip. "Be still, little goddess, we will not harm you," one said before she was dragged into the forrest. It felt like an hour before they arrived in a clearing full of potatoes. The huge plants bowed to her, where her captures held her. She let out a scream and fought harder.
Still screaming she was felt her body collide with the ground. Her eyes closed for a moment, and when she opened them she found herself on the ground, the crew in front of her, a few people had turned around looked at her. It was then she realized what had happened, she had fallen asleep walking. It couldn't have been more than a few minutes judging from the look of the jungle. She felt blood rushing to her cheeks as she stood up brushing dirt from her torn and salt covered clothes.

Sarah nodded to Rhys, she seemed nice. She hoped she got to know her better. She laughed gently as Kalin and Jason goofed around bit. Kalin asked her if she wanted to walk with him and his Jason Sarah smiled. I would love too! Thank you. Sarah listened to the sound of the jungle. I've never been in a jungle before, I'm not sure I feel at ease completely, it'll be good to have someone to walk with.

Jason politly went over to Rhys and helped her up. "Easy there. Nothing in this jungle that's shown itself to be dangerous just yet." He smiled faintly. He took his rather large oversized coat off and proped it on her shoulders. His actions were simply courtesy. He may be a pirate and loved it, but he didn't like seeing people uncomfortable. Well, so long as they were crew or family or friend.
"No need to get excited before we have to be." He muttered and offered his arm for her to remain steady on. "Now if you need to sleep just tell someone. I'm sure you're not the only one who's tired, Miss."

Kalin smiled brightly at Sarah and then watched Jason walk away to help Rhys, who appeared to have been sleep walking. He then looked back at Sarah.
"Jungle's a strange place. Never been in one myself. But there's some pretty big bugs here. Look." He added, pointing to a brightly red and orange bettle easily the size of his own hand. "Wonder what the bugs are eatin' here." He smiled and continued right on walking, taking everything in.

Sarah looked at the bug Kalin pointed at. Wow! That's amazing! It's so beautiful, so...unique. Sarah smiled at Kalin, feeling slightly embarrassed that she was such amazed that a bug. She then looked ahead of her at Rhys and Jason. My she looks tired...but they make a nice pair...don't you think?

* Maria eyes slowly opened. The sweat was till upon her but she no longer felt the sickness. She sat herself up and looked around the room. Sarah had left but everyone else was there. Her eyes then ran over Will. She knew now of her past. She swallowed hard and pulled her knees to her chin. She quickly turned her look away from him. Afraid to say or do anything. Maria took a deep breath, she now remembered her past did he?

"That's the last time I look at a potato the same way," the theif muttered. The girl's face turned as red as her hair, when she realized that Jason was standing next to her. She was too embarassed to speak as he helped her to her feet and placed his coat over her. The coat was extremely large on her, hanging past her knees. If it wouldn't have caused her more embarassment, she would have disappeared into the man's coat entirely. This was not generally the way one went about meeting people.
Hearing the gray eyed man's comment about sleep, she grinned ruefully and said, "It's just a habit I picked up." She went on to explain at his confused look, "I tend to fall asleep any time I'm not occupied. Used to help me on those nights when I had more work than I had time." She grimanced thinking of the long nights sneaking in and out of houses and running from the guards. Shaking her head slightly, she brought herself back to reality.
Finally, steady on her feet once more, she looked him over with dancing blue eyes. He looked like the kind of man that could joke around and have a good time, but be calm and collected at the same time. Intelligent grey eyes sparkled making her smile as she calmed down. After a moment she spoke again, "My name's Rhys. I was one of the people rescued from the storm last night. And thanks for the help."

*Tobbs gave a curious glance as she noted Jack’s mischievous look. She tilted her head slightly to the side in wonder, and that was basically all she had TIME to do. For, in a blink of an eye, and quite unexpectedly, she was in his arms, and he was giving her one hell of a kiss. Swept away in the moment, as well as pure shock, she trembled slightly as he pulled away, biting her lip to keep a captivated/awed sigh out (couldn’t let him see the victory he’d just had). She didn’t dare move as she gazed at him, her face full of utter bewilderment. What in bloody hell just happened?! *
*She tried to speak, but couldn’t get a word out. About to try again, she opened her mouth to let the words out, when she was stopped by Evy’s voice. Glancing at her quickly and then looking down to hide any thought reading in her eyes to be done, she managed to hide a smile when Evy mentioned time alone for the two of them if they asked. *
*Setting her face to not have a trace of emotion showing, she looked up to Evy and side glanced at Jack quickly, reading his thoughts in a matter of a second or two. When she caught the apprehension in his eyes, pondered carefully. So he’d caught her again off guard. That meant he was ahead in their little game…well then, something had to be done in order to put her tied up again…*
“Well..she started it…”
*Snapping back to attention, Tobbs suddenly hit the fact that Jack had actually thrown a rather heated kiss to her when she least expected it, meaning she hadn’t been in control of the situation. Frowning slightly, she looked straight at him and narrowed her eyes slightly, raising her right hand in the air in preparation for a good slap. But then, she stopped herself…she noted Jack’s face and let the frown curve into a slyer smile than before. Instead, she let her hand sink down and she spoke up lightly. *
“Ya know Jack, if I had known you’d have done that, perhaps I would’ve tackled you often…can’t deny that was one ‘ell of a kiss captain.”
*Giving Evy a smile, she took steps closer to Jack, nearing him again quite closely and whispering so he could hear, though she couldn’t tell if Evy could or not. *
“But ya know ‘ow I ‘ate being second…..best watch yerself when we make camp for the night….the game’s just begun…”

Mark got up when he heard a commotion come his way. He sat up and smiled. They had finally arrived. He tied his shirt around his waist and walked over to the group. He smiled at Jack for he knew a thing or two about him. He knew that something interesting would soon come. And indeed it did. The captain discovered a wall!"Would you look at that! A WALL! Not made of gold though mate, well this was a very productive trip. Back to the Pearl everyone!" Mark yelled playfully. He pulled out his sword as the crew began to venture into the jungle. God knows what could be waiting for them. He looked out the corner of his eye to find Rose for he wanted to talk to her dearly. He looked around as he walked and stopped to look at a tree. It was a banana tree. He smiled and tore a banana from the tree. He was awfully hungry. He pilled the banana and ate it as he walked. It was the best he'd ever had.
