Ember could see the excitement of going ashore written all over the men's faces. Her own excitement could barely be contained as well, even though she didn't really know what she had to be excited about. There wasn't exactly much to be excited about, but maybe she could start a new life here. Maybe find a job, marry someone she could actually stand. Or she could take The easy way out and just send a letter to her father and have someone pick her up.
Going home meant facing her scheming fiance' and dealing with all the rumors that had certainly been circulating. Pirates were known for raping and looting, and while she had been attacked by Jack she was still pure. Her father would still waste no time in marrying her off the second she returned in some attempt to save her honor.
A tap on her shoulder brings her our of her thoughts as she turns to Colby to see him smiling excitedly. It almost made her wonder how often they actually got to get off the ship. But as Ember turns towards the dock she's shocked to see what appears to be drunk men's chasing after women, the occasional firing of a weapon in the air and even couples openly having sex against buildings. Ember gasped suddenly having second thoughts about this port. The part of the crew that heard her gasp chuckled and her innocence.
She turned to Colby, a little frantic as the men began to get off the small row boat. He on the other hand seemed as calm as ever, she wondered if he was going to run off with the other men until he turned around and offered his hand to help her out the boat.
"Will you help me find some way home?" she looked at him hopefully, trying to convey how out of place she felt.
"We will see what we can do." Colby said looping his arm through hers and walking them in a different direction.

Eiven seethed with anger as he watched the boy saunter off with Ember in tow. He had specifically said for no one to touch her and here was this boy walking with her arm in arm, in front of him! He shook himself out of his thoughts and snapped back to reality, everyone had gotten off the row boat and had gone about their business except for him. At this point all he wanted was a few drinks.
Walking off to one of his favorite bars he immediately felt at home once He walked in the doors. Sitting down at the bar, he ordered his drinks and said to keep them coming. After a few drinks Eiven was starting to get more bold in what he wanted and started to loose his resolve against Ember. Pushing the whore off his lap, his stands up, stumbling a bit and stormed out of the barn to find Ember and the traitor member of his crew.
