tag dump ( 5/5 ) finally,

taking   a   moment   to   let   his   gaze   linger   on   the   sea,   brad   doesn't   answer.   not   something   one   sees   often   as   he   surrenders   himself   to   thought.   for   a   moment,   his   gaze   is   as   tumultuous   as   the   waves   themselves.   at   times,   it   seems   he   might   even   see   something   beyond   the   deep   pool   of   blue   —   far   beneath   the   shifting   tides.   eventually,   he   meets   brant's   gaze   again,   except   this   time,   it's   none   lacking   in   clarity.   no,   it's   clear   and   strong,   none   too   different   than   the   keel   of   a   ship.   ❛   wish   i   could   say   this   is   my   first   time,   but   it   ain't.   didn't   pop   my   cherry   this   time,   cap.   your   loss.   ❜

❛   hard   jobs   are   the   thankless   ones.   it's   why   i   haven't   worked   a   day   in   my   life.   ❜   aside   from   documenting   his   adventures.   (   he   barely   considers   that   work   at   all.   )   with   a   neat   laugh,   his   gaze   sweeps   brant   once   more.   it   lingers   on   his   hat,   more   than   anything.   ❛   if   you're   looking   for   a   hand,   then   mine   are   free.   been   looking   for   a   way   to   pass   the   time,   anyhow.   ❜   something   to   help   him   chart   his   next   course.   ah,   he   wonders,   could   this   lead   to   something   new?   something   exciting   beyond   his   dreams. 

stepping   back   fluidly,   he   offers   a   courtly   bow   that   lacks   some   of   its   poise   because   of   the   grin   that   takes   his   lips.   it   hangs   there   more   naturally   than   the   sun   in   the   sky.   his   voice   flows   like   liquid   —   his   next   words   are   unthinking,   instinctive.   ❛   if,   and   i   know   i   can   be   quite   intimidating,   you're   willing   to   invite   me   aboard,   captain?   ❜   part   of   him   just   wants   to   hear   it   again.   ❛   i'd   be   honored.   ❜

A showboat, then, though Brant has neither the room nor desire to complain. Confidence is a fashionable trait to those with the skill to back it up, and he could hardly accuse his new acquaintance of lacking base for it. As such, he's happy to extend his hand in return, easygoing but firm in shaking Brad's hand.

"Haha! Captain Brant, at your service." Releasing the offered hand, he follows up with a quick tip of the hat. "Always happy to put on a joint performance, as it were. I'm conversely very used to fighting alongside my Troupe, but it's not all that often we get to see a new face that's on our side."

Indeed, meetings with the powerful often tend towards the adversarial when it comes to Brant and his merry band of accomplices. There are always exceptions to the rule, but he really can't remember the last time he'd gained an unexpected ally like this—save, of course, for when he seeks them out himself to join his crew.

"The law really ought to thank us with how often we've been left to deal with the messes they turn a blind eye to on the high seas, but, alas. We're no better than pirates ourselves, from the perspective of those in power." He heaves a performative sigh, though the soft shake of his head and amused smile give his dramatics away. "If it weren't for that, I'd have half a mind to ask you to join us in dealing with the problem for a little while. What with your self-proclaimed isolation, and all."

For something that's almost an earnest invitation, it's not particularly subtle. But Brant rarely ever aims for subtle, anyway.

love them dearly <3
