When Dragon's Hearts Were Good

Arturo smirked. "Oh, you're one of those? Heh heh... I might just pick up a few extra things when we dock...." He said, slowly sliding his rapier into it's scabbard.

Dianne grinned, "Sounds like fun."

Calico sighed, already over the side of the nest, her feet on the rigging, "I really doubt it's going to get worse. And if it starts doing anything weird, and I mean as in oozing yellowy white stuff, then let me know. Captain needs me to steer."

Arturo smiled and laughed. "Si, senora, that is the point."

Jason sighed and nodded. "okay if that happens i'll tell you" he said watching her.

Calico went back down the rigging and to the helm, taking it firmly and confidently in her hands.

Dianne grinned, "I would hope so. I would hate to think I would have to rape you."

jason sighed and watched the horizon. he took a small journal sort of book from a pocket and started to draw the horizon he saw from his point of view. he was a firm believer that a picture was worth a thousand words, hence why this journal contained only enough words to suit captions.

Arturo laughed a little. "Ai caliente, muy sexy."
((Lmao xD))

Dianne smirked and climbed onto the rigging, perching herself there like it was her place and no where else would suit her quite the same.

The ship sailed gracefully and without any sort of trouble well into the night. The captain had ordered everyone go below deck to sleep, while they would trade out the watch. Calico volunteered to go first, since she could do without sleep the longest and was planning on letting Jason sleep through the night since he was injured. She sat in the rigging, humming softly to keep herself awake, when she saw what looked like a lifeboat drifting out in the ocean, clearly unmanned. She ran below deck and woke Arturo, "Hey... Arturo... Come here, I need a little help."

Sleep wasn't comming too easy to Jason. he was running a high fever, and had broken out in a cold sweat. his body was shaking constantly too. apparantly the wood that had lodged in his side hadn't been at all clean.

Arturo sat up in his hammock, rubbing his eyes. "Si niña?" He said sleepily.
((Hah! I can get the non English letters now!))

((How did you do that!?))

Calico nodded above deck, "Follow me. I need help with something."

((Freetranslation.com. If you go to the drop bar that says "Other" you can get those letters, then copy and paste them. ^^))
Arturo nodded a little and hopped out of the hammock and sliped his shirt on. "Lead the way, Chica."

Calico brought him out onto the deck and showed him the little lifeboat drifting out at sea, "Can you help me bring it back to the boat?"

"Si, si... get a long rope." He said.

Calico ran over to near the helm and brought over a long streatch of rope, "Wll this work?"

Atruro nodded a little bit and tied one end around his waist. "Do you think you could lift some of my weight?" He asked.

Calico laughed, "I know I could lift all of it."

Arturo smiled a bit. "Oh ho ho, a strong little chica, huh? Well, I'll have to test your hierro(possibly "Hierra" instead) later, then. If I go to far, tug on the rope." Arturo said, taking his shirt back off and diving into the water, swiming out to the life boat.

Calico held onto the rope, keeping a close eye on him. The lifeboat was empty, except for a small box that was very heavy.

"Pull me in, chica! Looks like we may be getting a little treasure." He called to Calico.

Calico pulled him in, "What is it?"

Arturo shrugged a little bit. "I don't know, but it's heavy. Think you can lift the both of us, chica?" He asked.

"I'm pretty sure." She said, "Hold on." she pulled as hard as she could, and brought them up onto the deck.

Arturo set the chest down on the deck. "Wow, impressive, chica. Flex." He said, putting his hand on her upper arm.

Calico flexed her arm with a smile.
