"I don't think anyone would want it any other way." Scarlett offered a devious grin, ordering another drink.
"Promises like that are always impossible, unless you plan on becoming an emotionless brute," Charlie told her quietly.

Arthur chuckled, nodding. "So what do we do now? Wait?"
Elizabeth frowned. "I think... I don't think I could do that - not even if I tried."

"No, we drink. Tomorrow at dawn we will proceed with what needs to be done," Scarlett told him as she sipped at her new beverage.
Charlie glanced at her again, shaking his head. "I don't think I'd want to see you become like that."

"That being?"
"Why? You've only known be for a couple of weeks, and we weren't even on the same ship for most of the voyages."

"Mm...typical getting council together stuff." Scarlett waved a hand in the air, brushing off the subject further. She had alcohol to consume, and gosh darnit, if he wanted to ask questions, she'd pulverize his head in until she had had her fill.
"That may be so, however, there needs to be more people like you in this world, and less of the fiendish pirates who terrorize these towns, kidnap innocent men and women for their own selfish games..." Charlie sighed. "It's just a mere observation."

"What, whores and alcohol?" came Arthur's reply, and he raised his eyebrows lightly in response to that.
"One day, there might be... But for now? I doubt anything will change soon."

"No," snapped the woman. "Arthur can you possibly get any more stupid?"
"I have to agree with you," Charlie murmured with a deep sigh.

"It's called sarcasm, dear," Arthur returned.
Elizabeth just nodded.

Scarlett was silent a moment before glowering furiously at the counter before her. "Stop calling me dear."
Charlie glanced over his shoulder then, pausing in the road. "Do you want to head back to the tavern? Or just carry on back to the ship?"

Arthur held up his hands. "I apologize for the offense, then; you never did tell me why you disliked it so much."
"I... It doesn't matter at this point, I don't think," Elizabeth murmured. "Either way."

Scarlett rolled her eyes. "Ignorant and insolent. The worst combination."
"I'll put it this way," Charlie began, rubbing his chin. "We can either get you back so you can sleep off whatever alcohol content you have in your body, or return to the tavern where you will be ogled by countless pirate men, all looking for some action."

"Perhaps, but being overly arrogant and prideful is just as damning."
"But I wouldn't have to worry about the pirate men," Elizabeth mumbled.

"Aren't they the same thing?" asked Scarlett, though her mind was foggy from alcohol.
Charlie nodded thoughtfully. "I suppose that's true."

"A common misconception, but no. It is possible to be prideful without being arrogant, you know. Perhaps you should stop drinking." It was amusing. Usually he was the first one to pass out.
"Besides, you'd help me, wouldn't you?"

Scarlett stood abruptly, rounding to face Arthur with a glare. "I came here to drink my weight in rum, and that's EXACTLY what I'm going to do!"
Her crew members took that moment to take their own seats at the counter, getting their own drinks.
Scarlett glanced at them, still frowning. "See? This is what we do. You of ALL people should know that, Artie!"
Charlie nodded once, exhaling through his nose at the same time. "Yeah. I would."
