Christmas on the Pearl

The Captain's quarters are set. The large desk has been cleared of Jack's personal goods. The rest of the room is neat and orderly, as it tends to be (much to Gibbs' constant surprise). Whatever chairs can be found belowdecks have been dragged up by the first mate, creating a cozy feel.
The desk and the larger chests are covered with oilcloth, which serve as crude tablecloths. The ship's hodgepodge of dishes, cups and silverware, plundered from many ports and ships, sit near a selection of traditional holiday treats, from ham to mincepie. At the center of the desk, there is a crystal decanter with a gold nameplate saying "Captain Jack Sparrow", filled with red wine, surrounded by matching glasses.
And there is a small, sparsely decorated tree in a corner near the hammock.
It's Christmas on the Black Pearl. Welcome.

Then she arched an eyebrow, gaze intensifying "Others?" how many ways did Elizabeth categorize people...?

Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:23 pm (UTC)Her regard on the other hand...it was felt like sunlight upon the face, or that final snap in the air as winter gave way to spring.
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:34 pm (UTC)There's something unsettling in those green eyes, she decides.
She smiles a little, blowing on her hands to warm them. "This is too much winter for me."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:41 pm (UTC)That didn't prevent her form reaching out to gently touch the girl's hands, and then...then there was warmth, spreading and thick Caribbean heat.
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 09:45 pm (UTC)Her eyes slip closed, and for a moment, her smile is easy and free.
"If that's not magic, I don't know what is."

Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 10:00 pm (UTC)Distracted, she smiles at Rachel.
"Thank you."
Re: Arrivals
Date: 2006-12-27 10:06 pm (UTC)Then she just chuckled "Welcome"
