When Dragon's Hearts Were Good

"Again I didn't know it belonged to anyone" he said rubbing his eyes. "and honestly i just thought it was a big chicken." he said looking back at arturo. "i was ttrying to make it hatch to get more eggs, since whatever is in it is alive" he said motioning to the incubation area.

"Si, nina. Though, our egg." He said.

Calico frowned, "I just came up here a second ago and asked if you had seen it and you said no."

"I never said no. i said i had found grapes. I didn't think the egg was all that interesting. I thought you were talking about treasure or something. then when you mentioned it was an egg you were looking for i got curious and when i was going to tell you i had it i find this guy grabbing it" he said motioning to arturo.

"Arturo is only trying to help me. And by help me I mean he wants to sell it at port and try to make some money." She said simply, "I'll be back later." she said, taking the egg and climbing down, "Arturo, come with me."

Arturo followed Calico down. "Si."

Calico knocked on the Captain's door, which was soon answered by Noah opening the door, "Ah. Calico and Arturo. Come on in." he invited. Calico walked in and Noah closed the door behind them, "What's the problem?" he asked.
"No problem." Calico answered, "I found this at sea last night. It was in a lifeboat." she handed him the egg.

"Si. Grande huevo." Arturo said, nodding.

Jason sighed. "figures.... i meet a nice girl, she's with another guy and on top of that i accidentally steal her egg" he muttered. "real smooth" he said sarcastically.

Dianne somehow made it up to the crow's nest without him noticing, "Well, first off, if you're talking about Arturo, he's with me, not her."

"well that actually makes me feel worse.." he muttered. "that means i screwed up when i actuallly had a chance" he said looking up at the sky.

Dianne shrugged, "He's nine years older than her, not to mention she's practically an infant anyways." Dianne laughed, "He's incredible in bed, though, not that it means anything to you."

"doesn't matter to me if she's practically an infant. i like her and she probably thinks i'm just a theif now." he said sighing.

"She's lived with pirates her whole life." Dianne said simply, "She's used to everyone being a thief."

"yeah but i doubt that made her like me a whole lot" he pointed out. "i never really was that good with girls" he admitted with a heavy sigh.

"Calico's not a girl. She's a pirate. Born, raised, and bread pirate. She might as well be a castrated male." Dianne said offhandedly, climbing down.

Jason sighed. I never was popular period now that i think about it" he muttered.

Noah looked over the egg, weighing it in his hands, "I'm not sure what this is, Calico, I must confess. And where did you say you found it?"
"The egg was in a ox that was in a lifeboat. Just drifting around in the ocean." Calico answered.
"Do you mind if I hold onto it until we can figure out what this is?" Noah asked kindly.
"Not at all. Keeps me from worrying about people stealing it." Calico shrugged.
"Thank you. Now, you and Arturo can go back out onto the deck now. I'll be out in a second. Arturo, can you wake the rest of the crew?"

Jason was still in the nest, looking out at the horizon and sighint to himself.

Arturo nodded and went below deck, firing off a few shots.

The entire crew jumped up in the air, clamoring to get above deck, except Isador, who opened one eye lazily and walked leisurely up onto the deck.

Arturo followed them up, replacing his gun to his belt.

Noah walked back out onto the deck, calling the roll again, "Calico?"'
"Aye."
"Dianne?"
"Aye."
"Isador?"
*wave*
"Jason?"

"Si." Arturo said when his name was called.

"i'm where i'm supposed to be" Jason caled down. he was still rather bummed out about earlier.
