[Chapter 7] Not Yet!

When they both stepped out onto the main deck, the stench of death filled their nostrils, burning into their sinuses. "Augh! Ew!," Pup yelled in disgust while covering her nose. "Eh...eheh..maybe we forgot a little somethin'.." Silver cleared his throat. "How bout we just keep em' and cook them up fer later, lass?," Silver burst out in laughter at his own, terrible joke. His smile faded when he saw the disgusted look upon the girls face. "Ehhh, you'll learn to get used to me humor," He shrugged and picked up the bodies, searched them for loot then threw them overboard like the rest of the crew when he was unsuccessful. Silver looked behind their ship for the enemies boat, which was long gone by now,"eh..we shoulda looted it when we had the chance..." He said in regret. He turned back towards the girl. "So back ta sailin," He reminded her as he placed a hand on her shoulder, she quickly swatted it away,"Ew! No way you're touching me with death hands!" She stuck her tongue out, scrunched her nose and shut her eyes as she shook her head. He chuckled once more and stepped down to the galley and cleaned his hands then stepped back up on the deck and held up his hands,"Happy now? Captin'?" She giggled and nodded up at him. She hopped up to the helm and started turning the ship all around. The ship swerved from side to side, causing barrels to fall and roll left to right. "WOAHh-," Silver stumbled back, almost falling over. He grabbed the side of the ship and stumbled his way up the stairs. "Woah there lass!" Silver grabbed the helm from Pup and pushed her back, which wiped the opened-mouth smile right off her face. He guided the boat until it was back to normal and turned back towards her," Sorry pup. Sailing is more than jus' ternin' a wheel." He felt bad for making her frown,"Are ya sure that yer ready to learn?" She stomped her paw on the deck and crossed her arms," yes I am, Damn it!" Silver stood straight,"Now is that anyway to speak ta a Captain?" She looked up at him in resentment. "Lass. I appreciate yer determination..but that's what got me in trouble so long ago!" He said using his normal hand to gesture to the metal parts of himself. She looked to where he gestured and frowned, then shook her head and gave him the same cold look as before. "That look won't work on me twice, lass." He lowered his eyebrows. "Yer not ready yet." He took his hat off of her head an placed it back on his. "But- Silver!-" "ITS CAPTAIN!" He snapped back at her. She pinned her ears back,"You have to teach me if you want me to stay here." "Lass. I said yer not ready to learn YET. In the mean while I'll teach ya through talkin'...that is if yer ears work this time." He furiously stomped down the stairs. "That is if yer ears work this time." Pup mimicked him. Silver heard her," and dont be touching equipment with out me say-so." He pointed at her then went inside the cabin, slamming the wooden door. "Augh!," she yelled at him, she was so aggravated at his stubbornness. "Hes so- so- AUGH!,"she clawed at her face. "Who knew my childhood hero would be such an ass!," After ranting to herself through her thoughts, Pup took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. She stepped back down on the main deck, and looked around for something to do while the Captain cooled down from their little quarrel, not that he needed to. Silver had a way of forgiving her easily, she just wanted space from him. Finally she spotted the crows nest that was above her, which was a ways up. She started to climb up it and finally she jumped into the small wooden space. She looked up at the beautiful sky in awe and sat down. After a while she had grown tired, probably from the fighting from that morning and she soon fell asleep up there.

"Pup?........Lass??," Silver called for the girl, looking around the empty ship. He couldn't find her anywhere at all and he started to panic," Lass?! Where are ya?! I'm sorry about t'at fight earl'er!" He exclaimed as he called her once more. It was his fault, she jumped over board and it was his fault. Silver swished away the thought as his panic grew,"LASS?! WHERE'D YE GO?!" He yelled again, for a while, no answer. His breathing got heavier as coldness crept up his spine, his eye started to fill with tears as he lost hope,"my fault...its all m-" "Captain...?," said a small, feminine, sleepy voice from above him. Silver perked his ear up and looked above him. It was her. The werewolf looked down and had her hands resting on the parting of the crowns nest leading down the shrouds. "What's wrong?," she rubbed her eyes to get a better look at him,"Are you crying?" He quickly wiped away the forming tears from his eye,"nah, Captains don't cry lass." He joked while smiling up at her then placed his hands on his hips," Why are ye up there anyways?" She yawned,"it was pretty up here...and far away from you." She looked down at him, angry. He grinned,"Awe now lass, don't be sore on te' ol' cap'n'." She grinned and rolled her eyes. "Catch." She warned Silver before jumping down, he was off his guard but still caught her. He placed her down gently down beside him.
It was dark now. "Awe... I slept all day didn't I?" She rhetorically asked. Silver shrugged. "Still tired?" Silver asked, leaning down to her. "Mhm...," Pup yawned again and nodded. Silver swept her off her paws and into his arms. Pup socked him in the arm," I can manage walking jus' fine!" She hopped down only for Silver to pick her up again, throwing her up in the air this time and laughed as she fell back in his arms. "Yer a pup, aren't ya? Haha! Yer gonna be needin' me ta carry ya 'round." He joked and opened the cabin door. She pouted and rolled her eyes. He ploped her down on the bed and layed down beside her. "I thought you were gonna look after the ship..?" Silver took off his hat and tossed it over where it landed perfectly on the clothing hook. "Eh.. If any t'ing 'appens you'll wake me up," he ended his sentence with a smile and shut his eyes. He wrapped his arm around Pup and pulled her close to him. She didn't do anything about it because she had already fallen asleep after her sentence. Silver smiled down at her before doing the same.
