Tikkle leaves ten gold on the table and begins to walk away, but turns back to the chef. "Oh, the tip. Here's a silver, split it with the waiter please." The Pirate flips the chef a platinum coin and walks out, ignoring any mention of his "mistake"

Before Tikkle has a chance to get up and take off, she pulls on his shirt sleeve to get his attention and then leans in close to whisper in his ear.
"Hey....try not to take too long and be careful. If you guys run into any trouble, have Anyka contact me and Terra." Putting her hands on the side of his face she looks into his deep golden eyes with her dark brown ones, "Promise me Tikkle...."

"I promise, love." He leans in and kisses her before whispering in her ear, "I'll be sure to come back healthy, after all, this might be our last night in my cabin for a while..."
He winks at the blushing beauty as he turns to leave.

As he kisses her she tries to keep a tight reign on the heat that she feels rising from her toes to the top of her head. Feeling the heat of him, she loses herself momentarily before regaining control.
At his words she smiles and nods, "Make sure you do....you're gonna need your energy." She gives him a wink of her own before turning back to the ones left there. "Well, I guess we better get back to the ship."
She gets up and waits for Terra before walking out with them and heading to the ship and Tikkles cabin.

As they make their way back to the ship, she notices a small shop along the way. Begging the others to wait just a moment, she runs inside. After a few minutes, she makes her selection, pays the shop keeper and rejoins the others with her parcel. With a mischievous grin she looks at them, "Alright, all set now." She can't keep from grinning the rest of the way back to the ship.
"What are you grinning about?"
Absently patting the the parcel she carries she just smiles, "Ohhh...nothin, nothing at all."
"I don't believe you, but whatever."
"Would I lie?"
"Poorly." Flynt grins.
She laughs a little, "Well....I try not to. I'm just.....happy. Is that weird?" She pauses for a moment, "I know things are seriously messed up right now, but even with everything that's happened.....there are still things we can.....take pleasure and comfort in, can't we?"

"No, it's not weird to be happy. You should be happy. Say no more." Flynt says as the candle lights up in his head.
She smiles and nods, "Okay, lips are sealed. I just need to get back to the ship and get ready for when Mr. Pirate pants gets back." She giggles slightly as they make their way back to the ship.

As they walk along Terra nonchalantly says, I know when people are lying. and she simply smiles as she walks saying nothing more
Christophe stops a roadside flower stand and picks up a small bouquet on their way back to the ship. After paying the merchant, he falls in step with the others. "Perhaps I should leave what I need to talk about until tomorrow since some of us are busy with...other things."
Nudging her sister slightly with her elbow she says, "Ohhhh do ya now?"
She shakes her head, "What I have to do won't take me that long....but we can talk about it whenever you're ready to. There's no rush, okay?"
Christophe raises his eyebrow. "I wasn't talking about you, Gashka."
He then laughs as he walks up the gangplank.
She gets a curious look on her face, and after thinking a few minutes a light seems to come on. "Oh...ohhh...okay...gotcha. No problem, we can talk about it tomorrow, maybe after breakfast?" She walks up the gangplank herself and goes over to the railing of the ship to look out over the water.
"Those are really nice flowers by the way, I'm sure she'll love them."
"I hope so. Alright, after breakfast then. Enjoy your night," Christophe says, heading to Tehanna's cabin and knocking on the door.
Renard rolls his eyes as Chris goes in search of Tehanna. He rubs against Terra's leg. Terra was a good person, despite her rough edges. Ah well, Fate is fickle.
He hoped that Chris' patron would pass along the message. The fox had a good idea of what Chris wanted to talk about and it wouldn't necessarily ruin things unless the witch decided to be excessively talkative. Hanging around Polaris for too long wouldn't do and, if his surprise happened to show up, perhaps Christophe could be directed elsewhere. Like Midra...
Tehanna was up in the Crows Nest, watching as the others returned, minus a few. She then spotted Christophe with the flowers. Hmm, what does he have cooking? She thought. For a moment, the Dark Elf thought about going down, but she decided that she wasn't going to make it that easy for him. And, there was also the awful memories that were making her hesitant. Perhaps it's too soon. She watched as the stars began to appear over the water in the distance.
After receiving no answer, Christophe heads back up to the deck and asks a few of the crew members if they had seen Tehanna. Pointed towards the Crow's Nest, his stomach lurches. He wasn't the strongest of people, but he was determined. He grips the flowers between his teeth and makes his ascent.
He falls to the deck before even getting a foot off the ground. Chris looks up, hoping Tehanna didn't see that.
Hearing the loud thud, Gashka turns from her spot by the railing to see Chris lying on his back on the deck by the crows nest. Carrying her package with her she goes over and looks down at him. Extending her hand to him she says, "Are you alright? What are you trying to do?"
"Ah...well...I was trying to get up to the Crow's Nest," Chris explains, getting back to his feet. "Tehanna's up there."
She gets a knowing look in her eyes and smiles at Chris, "Well....I can understand that....but surely there must be an easier way to get her attention that doesn't involve risking a broken neck?"
"Sometimes it takes a stupid and daring act to show one's feelings," Christophe says. "Should I sing instead?"
She giggles and blushes a bit, "Yeah...I know what you mean. Do whatever your heart tells you is right. If you need to climb, then climb...just be careful. If you want to sing, then sing. Just do whatever feels right. I need to go get ready....I'll talk to you later." She turns to leave and starts to walk towards Tikkle's cabin, a sly smile playing on her lips.
Christophe grips the ropes again and tries to ascend.
He makes some progress, a smile barely visible behind the flowers.

His heart racing, Chris grips the ropes and pulls himself up.
Heaving and panting, he climbs into the Crow's Nest. Christophe gives Tehanna an odd smile as he pulls the flowers from his mouth and hands them to her. "Pour vous."
Flynt holds Terra's hand all the way back to his cabi. Seeing Chris' awkward attempts at wooing will offer to hang out with the fox along with Terra.
Tikkle motions to Jin and Anyka. "Take a little stroll if ya don't mind. No need to be invisible, we're allowed here so far as anyone cares. However, it'd be nice to know if anyone is listening first." As they walk away, he walks up to the door and knocks, surveying the scene in all.

As Christophe climbed into the Crows Nest, Tehanna turned around and couldn't help but smile as he offered her the flowers. "Sunt desiderabilis." The Dark Elf said as she accepted the flowers. After taking a sniff, she couldn't help herself. Taking a hold of his shirt with her free hand, Tehanna pulled him to her and kissed him, passionately.
Christophe returns the kiss with as much passion as Tehanna gives. He feels himself melt against her and a warm tingle rises from his toes to his head. My first real kiss, I shall treasure this moment for days to come. "Non decora sicut vos."
