A Pirates Life (Khadashee and Draven)
|
(Khadashee) Khadashee thought on all that Draven had said. Was it possible that someone was trying to hurt her? Was it possible that her babies were just caught in the cross fire? But why would anyone want to hurt her? Bakari and she had been in love since they were children. She was destined to be his and her his. Their wedding day was the happiest day of her life...second on to the day she learned she was pregnant the first time. Who would want to hurt that love? Why? "I do not know. Everyone in the Palace was always so nice to me. I had been coming to visit Bakari and his family since I was a child and he and his family had been coming to visit my family. Why would anyone want to hurt me? Ethiopia was like a second home to me." (Draven) Draven didn't respond, he just stood and let her think out loud.? The ship came about and the wind filled the sails.? It wasn't long before they were moving fast across the water, back on the course they were previously on. He pulled out his spy glass after they had been sailing for an hour and knew they had crossed the earlier horizon.? With a smile, he looked at Khadashee, "we have caught up with Sa'id.? Look, there." He handed her the spy glass and pointed to where the other ship's sails could be seen.? He was glad they were able to find the man and hoped that he would understand what Draven was trying to do earlier. Tag: Khadashee |

Khadashee Khadashee noticed he didn’t say anything to her, just started the topic and then let it drop. Which to her was a bit odd to start a topic she had expressed that she didn’t want to talk about and then simply let it drop after he got her talking. Khadashee sat quietly contemplating during the hour it took them to find Sa’id. She took the spyglass. “I will talk to him. Explain everything to him. Make him understand. I think it’s best if I go alone. I don’t think you endear yourself to him too much.” |

I think it’s best if I go alone. I don’t think you endear yourself to him too much.” (Draven) Draven sighed when Khadashee said something about going to see Sa'id alone, "you are probably right." He gave orders to the signal man to send a message to the other ship as to who they are and that they wish to come along side.? Using a lantern that was mounted on a fixed pole, the signal man started flipping a lever that moved a flap over the light created a Morris code. Then he turned to Khada, "if they slow it won't be long before we are along side for you to board."? Tag: Khadashee and Sa'id? |

A board was placed between the two ships so she could walk between. Sa’id stood on deck, an unreadable expression on his face. An expression she knew meant he was not happy. Khadashee sighed. “I promise I will get him to understand your motives and motivations.” She said. One of the crew man helped her step up on to the board and she walked to the other side. Once before Sa’id the two Disappeared inside the captain’s cabin. |

(Draven) When the Serenity came along side the Al’ Cazar grappling hooks were tossed between the ships and the Serenity dropped it's sails so that they could remain under the other ship's power. Draven stood for a moment watching Khadashee and Sa'id disappear into the cabin.? He pulled the plank onto his ship and then sat on a pile of line to wait as the ships sailed together.?

(Khadashee and Sa'id) Khadashee left the captain's cabin and moved to the edge of the rail. She thought Draven would come behind her. He did not.?She waved to him and waited for him to come upon the Al’ Cazar. (Draven) Draven was happy to see his Queen come out of the cabin, then she stopped at the railing and waved for him to join her.? With gladness, he put the plank back across the two ships and made his way over.? Once on the Al'Cazar, he pulled the plank back to the right ship.? "I am glad to see you.? How did the talk go with Sa'id?" Tag: Khadashee |

How did the talk go with Sa'id?" Khadashee “He is not happy that your simply left. He found it cowardly. He had to pay the pirate who raided us. He also had to pay the merchant captain extra to convince him that we did not set him up. Sa’id assured the captain that the people’s Queen of Ethiopia is not so unscrupulous. He was not happy that your actions potentially besmirch my character. I talk to him and explained that you were worried about me and you just wanted me away from the situation which is why you left them so quickly and why you came looking for him.”? |

"Will he let me speak with him?" He hoped the man would hear him out as well.? He would let Sa'id have his say, but he had some things to say and he needed to compensate the man for paying the other's off.? He didn't have to do so with the other pirate, but was glad that he did. Tag: Khadashee |
开云体育(Draven) ? Khadashee ? Khadashee wasn’t sure if Draven should talk to Sa’id right now. If Draven wanted to bare that weight, then she was not going to simply say no. ?Khadashee sighed. “Understand that Sa’id severed under my father and swore to him that he would always protect me. He lost me when Bakari sold me. And he never felt right about that. He was happy when he found me. And he feels like you are a wild card. If you go talk to him. Understand that he loves me like a daughter. And he will fight for me like a fierce father.” ? Khadashee went quiet so that her words would take in and he could understand. “He is at the helm.” ?

I should wait for him to come to me? He will probably come and speak with me when he is ready, or he won't?" He let out a sigh, "I am sorry to cause trouble between you two, that wasn't my intentions." He said as he brushed her cheek with his fingers.? Then he took a moment to smile at her, "you know you are something quite extraordinary.? Do you realize that you had asked me, begged me, to put a stop to the attack and you were the one who really did?" Tag: Khadashee |

A very angry Sa’id. ?“I highlight doubt he will come talk to you. Considering that they only reason why he hasn’t challenged you is because I asked him not too.? When he smiled at her, she smiled back at him and then rubbed her cheek into his hand. Placing her own hand over his. “I didn’t really. It’s just that most men don’t know how to respond to a woman who is crying or when they start wrenching.” |

He asked as he looked into her eyes, looking for the hope to be there.? "How far from port are we, did Sa'id say?" He decided to not approach the other man, as he figured the only way to show Sa'id that he was true to his word was to remain on board and for them to sail with him at this point.? He looked over at the Serenity.? "Guess, we should release them from this ship so that they can go back to following from a distance." Tag: Khadashee |

He gave me dry bread. The feel of the rocking of the ship constantly makes me feel like I am on the verge of sickness but if what you all think is true and I am pregnant, I will manage.” She said. When he mentioned releasing the Serenity. She looked up at him. Taking his hand beginning to move back to where they came aboard. “We do not have to stay here.” |

You never did eat any of that ginger that the other captain gave you, did you?? It might help settle the stomach, I know it works for seasick men.? Oh, here." He pulled his purse from his belt and dumped some coins into his hand.? "This should compensate plus for what Sa'id paid the other men."? He said as he handed it to her.? Then she took his hand, "we don't.? But I thought he would require that you remain on his ship for the rest of the voyage, and I am fine with obliging." Tag: Khadashee |

If you want to go back to the Serenity we can.”? “You have to understand Sa’id. Once you have offended him. It is very difficult to appease his angry. And this,” she said giving him back the coins. “will only make it worse. Sa’id is a man of ?honor. He did what he did because he felt like it with the honorable thing. You trying to pay for his honor only insult him. Tell me a Draven, do you really wanna make things right between the two of you?” |

I have no idea what my husband’s goal is for bring me home. I did not want him try to use you to hurt me. Now that second ship is gone, it matters not in the lest which ship I come into port on. I just still worry that he will use you to hurt me. And now that he knows what your ship is he could have your whole ship arrested and your ship impounded. That was my fear. So it is really up to you love.” She said still holding his hand. ? And then she thought about it. “It is still up to you, but maybe on second thought, a little later I think you should go to him and apology and explain to him why you left.” Khadashee said. “He does not trust you. You are a pirate after all. And you are an outside and I am queen. He does not understand why you love me the way you do when you barely even know him. Maybe we can all talk during dinner. But we do not have to you if you would rather go back to your ship.” ? ? |

So he doesn’t know if your love is real for me. Couple that with he knows you don’t know me that well so he does not understand why you love me. I’m sorry for confusing you.” “We will figures this out.” She said with a smile. “For now we will just figure out what to do about Bakari.”?
