Legend of the Seven Seas

Odette is always right

The ship had docked beside a strange and tree covered island to restock after their little adventure.

"Alright we're here for 10 minutes. You get lost, you get left." Cale explained to the men.

Sindbad pouted as he sulked over a broken piece of his ship.

"Uh....how did two women do so much damage?" Sinbad muttered and groaned when another piece fell off in his hand.

"Alright, I'm gonna need a full set of chisels, a jackknife, and about a quart of cut wood." Sinbad listed off as he walked up the stairs to stand by Cale.

"Alright men you heard the captain, find some logs and be quick about it." Cale relayed with his booming voice.

Marina watched as Sinbad rubbed the side of the ship.

"Men are such babies." Marina muttered.

Odette chuckled as she went back down into the bottom of she ship to do some food inventory. Marina was not one to do a bunch of exploring. Odette picked up a bucket and stared at Sinbad thoughtfully as he continued to sulk. She rolled her eyes.

"Oh for goodness sake all you need is a bit of tree sap and she'll be as good as new." Odette pointed out in annoyance.

"When I want your advice I'll...." Sinbad began but paused when he turned to see her walking off the ship.

Sinbad straightened up in alarm.

"Hey, hey! Where do you think, you're going?" Sinbad asked her incredulously.

Odette didn't answer.

"Well fine at least take someone with you..." Sinbad started forward but trailed off as the other men started to crowd around her adoringly.

Sinbad frowned as they were eagerly offering their services.

"How nice to see some men haven't forgotten a little common curtesy." Odette mused aloud shooting him a backwards glance as she let them drag her off.

Sinbad glowered at how easily she knew how to push his buttons. Yet at the same time he was frustrated with his own emotions when he was around her. He wanted to be the one to accompany her on the island and at the same time he was desperately trying to make sure she couldn't wriggle her way back into his heart. As he wrestled with his inner turmoil, Cale started to head towards the plank, bucket in hand.

"Not so fast." Sinbad stopped him, sulking as he watched her leave.

"But you know she's right. Tree sap will be perfect for..." Cale points out.

"Just! Stay with the ship." Sinbad groaned, trying not to let his irritation come through.

Even his first mate was falling into for her charm. How could he push her away when his entire crew was on her side? Sinbad grunted as he hoisted himself up and over the side of the ship. He jogged to catch up with Odette and his men who had trekked farther inland on the seemingly tropical island.

"I already said thank you! That's what this is a bout isn't it?" Sinbad called as he chased after them.

"It's about repairing the ship. If I break something I fix it." Odette countered easily once he had caught up.

"Knife please." Odette asked, holding out her hand.

"Oh yea like I'd give you a weapon?" Sinbad said sarcastically, crossing his arms over his chest.

Sinbad's smug look dissipated as his men instantly held out their own knives to her.

"Thank you Rat. But I forgot I carried my own." Odette cooed, leaning over to pull out a large knife she had hidden in her boot.
