A demon pirate!?

Something new

First meeting with pirates!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Azrael opened the box and grabbed the bag with all the berries in it before walking out of the room, making sure he locked the door and went down the hallway towards the stairs. Soon, he made to the first floor and went to the bar. He saw that the men from earlier were still there, he held his breath while searching for a free seat. Thankfully he found two, they were bar stools, one next to a guy and the other one was a seat away from him. He walked over and past the loud men and sat in the seat that was one away from the man.

Letting out his breath he'd been holding, he looked at the counter and saw there was a lady in front of him. She had black straight hair, and wore black a tank top, with a necklace around her neck.

"Hello! My names Marta, what can I get you?" She asked with a smile.

"Could I get a menu, please?" Azrael shyly asked. The lady nodded and reached below the bar counter, taking out a one-page menu, she handed it to him.

"Wave me over when you're ready" she said and walked away to serve the others.

I looked at the menu to try and find anything familiar, but nothing to him was. There were steaks, fried fish, chicken wings, fries, pork ribs, etc. but none of them were familiar to him.

"Can't figure out what to eat kid?" A voice next to him said. Azrael jumped a bit from the sudden question, and quickly turned to the voice, which was the guy that was a seat away from him.

"Y-yeah, I-I haven't had any of these, so I don't know what's good." He said quietly, the man let a 'hm' and slides a basket with meat in it in front of Azrael. It looked like it hadn't been touched yet.

"That's the pork ribs, give those a try and if you like them I'll order you some more." The man said.

"W-wait but, you don't have to-"

"Nah, it's fine kid! Don't worry, me and my crew just came back from a big voyage and we got a lot of money to spend." The man interrupted.

"Cr-crew?" Azrael said out loud.

"Yup, we're pirates! But don't worry we aren't one of those types of pirates that would burn and take everything." The man reassured Azrael, in response Azrael nodded. The man continued "I am Azul, captain of the blue blood pirates!" Azul took out his hand, which Azrael shook.

"Azrael."

"Nice name, now go ahead and eat, saw you come in here all tired." the man said before going back to drinking his booze and talking to another member of his crew.

Azrael looked back at the small basket of pork ribs, that had a dark sauce in top of it. He grabbed one, lifting his mask before hesitantly biting into it, avoiding the bone. 'It's so good!' He thought with a smile, he continued to eat until the basket had only bones that no longer had any meat on them.

Azul looked over and was surprised seeing that it had only been four minutes when he talked to the younger male. "You finished those quick kid, how hungry were you?" Azrael remembered back to this morning where he had eaten cereal.

"I haven't eaten since this morning" now saying it just made him more hungry, making his stomach growl. Azrael looked down in embarrassment.
