Shutting the door, she turned a lever locking it. "Doctor, to muse and blabber about a treasure map" she started walking towards Doppler "In front of this particular crew" she was now right in front of him as she continued "Demonstrates a level of ineptitude that borders on the imbecilic, and I mean that in a very caring way." Doppler scoffed.
" 'Imbecilic' did you say? Foolishness, I've..."
"May I see the map please?"
She cut him off, looking over to Jim. Doppler looked back at Jim as he shrugged, I nudged him, causing him to look over at me. He sighed and tossed her the map"Here" she caught it with one hand as she examined it"Hmm. Fascinating" she walked over to a cabinet opening it.
"Mr.Hawkins and Ms.(L/n), in the future you will address me as 'Captain' or 'ma'am' is that clear?" She placed the map in a chest closing it. I rolled my eyes"Crystal" she looked back at me"Crystal What, Ms.(L/n)?" I sarcastically said with a bored look on my face"Crystal clear, Captain" I did a two finger salute to her.
"Mr.Hawkins?"
"Yes, Ma'am"
"That'll do"
Captain Amelia Shut the cabinet in front of her, locking it. Walking over towards us"Gentlemen, and lady, this must be kept under lock and key when not in use." She shoved the key in her pocket walking over to Doppler "And, Doctor, again, with the greatest possible respect" she suddenly got in his face"Zip your howling screamer"
She sat down at her desk "Captain, I assure you, that.." she cut him off"Let me make this as monosyllabic as possible. I don't much care for this crew you hired. They're..." She turned to Mr.Arrow who stood beside her"How did I describe them, Arrow? I said something rather good this morning before coffee."
She started playing with an architect compass on her desk as Mr.Arrow answered her" 'A ludicrous parcel of driveling galoots' ma'am" she smiled and looked over to Doppler"There you go. Poetry."
"Now, see here..."
He slammed his hands on her desk, when she stood up"Doctor, I'd love to chat, tea, cake, the whole shebang, but I have a ship to launch and you've got your outfit to buff up. Mr.Arrow please escort these three neophytes down to the galley straightaway. Young Hawkins and (L/n) will be working for our cook, Mr.Silver"I widened my eyes as Jim suddenly stopped playing with a map thing.
"Wait, wait, wait, what?"
"What? The cook?"
As we walked down the steps to the kitchen Doppler angrily shouted"That woman! That feline!" He stopped at the bottom of the steps"Who does she think is working for whom?" Jim then started to complain"It's my map. And she's got me bussin' tables?" I rolled my eyes at the both of them"The two of you just shut up! Stop complaining over something so ignorant! You both have no clue how much harder things could be!"
Suddenly Mr.Arrow came down from the steps, I just stared at my feet, hands shoved In my pockets. I felt someone staring at me but I didn't bother looking up, the sound of whistling could be heard. "Mr.Silver"
A man turned around but we could only see half his body"Why, Mr. Arrow, Sir" he took the apron he was wearing, wiping his hands on it"bringing' in such fine and distinguished gents, and a pretty little lass to grace my humble galley."
