Bennet Maclean || 20 || Sailmaker aboard the Damned ||

“You could, but it’s a lie.” Saoirse rolled her eyes, watching them with a bored expression, “I’ll say what I want about who I want. Lady doesn’t care what I say about her, so why should you?” She shrugged, frowning as she played with her sleeves, “I don’t want to sleep with you.”

They raise their eyebrows, “Oh really? He let you on his crew.” 

“And I don’t want to sleep with you. Not anymore, anyhow.”

“Always good to know the players, Bennet, sailmaker or no,” he said, amused. “Never might know when you might need them. Are you hungry?”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“I’ll take your advice, sir.” Bennet nods. “No, I just ate. Lady’s doing her crew well.”

“Paul... are you okay? You look hurt.”

“It’s been some time since I was asked that,” Giles said, amused, glancing over to the stranger, but his expressive eyes held a hint of warmth.  “Captain Giles, formerly of the Sea’s Cry. And you?”

“You’re not a siren, and not a Pirate Lord, and not a crew member from one I recognize, so not from Cal’s or from Capo’s or from Mikah’s or from Volkov’s. That leaves either Jorgen or the Lady.”

“Bennet Maclean, formerly of the Damned.” They replied, shoving their hands in their pockets. Bennet rocked back and forth on their feet, not quite sure what to do with their nervous energy.

“I confess I really have no idea who you are. I was always up in the sails on my ship. The busy life of a sailmaker,” Bennet chuckled.

“How interesting. You are quite something.” Daphne smiled at her in wonder. “Did I get your name?”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

They smiled back, “Bennet Maclean, at your service,” a mock salute follows.

[tess-volkov-blog]

“Then that’s even more reason for you to have fun, darling.”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“...alright. A few minutes more wouldn’t hurt anyone...”

[saoirse--adams-blog]

“You’re on Lady’s crew? Gods, who doesn’t she let join her? Honestly where does she draw the line?” She made a face at them, disinterested in playing any games. “I’m fifteen. Generally people are upset when others hit on me. So… Fair warning and all.” 

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“I could say the same for Jorgen...” they reply, looking the girl up and down. “And don’t talk about my captain that way,” They say this next part more seriously. “And I’m twenty. What difference does it make?”

[daphnehallows]

"Oh, you’re not?"

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“I like to think of myself as... both and neither. Sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes both and sometimes none of the above.”

[tess-volkov-blog]

“Home? At this hour?”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“Well... I might be out against the wishes of my parents right now...”

[tess-volkov-blog]

“Don’t be like that, zvedza moya. Dance with me.”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“Oh no, no, I really should be getting back home...”

[isabelle-dumas-blog]

Isabelle smiled. “You did better then me.” She kept her arm wrapped around Bennet. “Everyone’s fine. There’s been a few…mishaps but nothing we couldn’t handle.”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

Bennet’s grin widens, “Excellent! I’m glad to hear that. You seem to have recovered nicely, what was it?”

[yesitsgracie-blog]

“Tell me everywhere you have been and everything that you have seen. I feel as if it’s finally alright to smile again.” 

[bennetmaclean-blog]

“It’s kind of a long story...”

[bennetmaclean-blog]

"Yes, that is exactly my plan. Are you in, or not?"

[odette-warren-blog]

"Oh!" Odette blushed slightly while she smiled at them, "Odette. It’s a pleasure to meet you." 

[bennetmaclean-blog]

Bennet bows, and kisses her hand. Just because they never paid attention in charms school doesn't mean they don't know how to have good manners. "The pleasure is mine, Odette."

[saoirse--adams-blog]

"Your advances are not appreciated." Saoirse shifted her position on the makeshift bed, carefully moving her leg. "Who said you could be in here anyways? I feel like Lady and Jorgen don’t want everyone hanging out in their little house." 

[bennetmaclean-blog]

Bennet ignores the the first comment and smirks at the second, "Hate to break it to you, love, but I'm on Lady's crew." They wander aimlessly to the other side of the tent. "Look's like you're stuck with me."

[daphnehallows]

"How interesting. I’ve never seen so many female pirates before."

[bennetmaclean-blog]

"Yeah, there are lots, but I'm not one of them."

[daphnehallows]

"I’m a native. Which of the groups do you belong to?"

[bennetmaclean-blog]

"Pirate, at your service, madame."
