Felix,

☠️

As a boy Felix had had very little trouble making friends— he had been at least partially convinced that he was a bit of a nerd– with two university professors for parents he’d been certain there was no way he could have made it through his childhood without developing an appreciation for the arts his parents were so enamored by. Still, he could be relatively outgoing when the mood struck him and if he felt even a vague inclination to turn on any charm whatsoever he could be counted on to draw people to him far more easily than he quite knew what to do with. As a grown man he found it slightly more difficult– the shyness he’d suppressed as a child seemed to have grown as he’d gotten older and there were certain moments in which he was more likely to blush and stammer his way through an interaction than he was to carry on a proper conversation. At the very least he was relieved he seemed to have skipped over some of his shyness with Devyn and she had yet to see how awkward he could be in his everyday life when he was flustered.

He accepted the glass of water with a crooked smile, his eyebrows rising in response to Devyn’s question as he took a long drink. He was relatively athletic but he’d grown up in Paris— he’d never even seen the ocean before he’d joined the Plunder’s crew and surfing wasn’t a skill he’d mastered or even attempted, the more he thought about it. Felix shook his head briefly, “I have no idea how to surf,” He replied, the slightest bit sheepish. “I assume you do? Is that something you like to do in your spare time? Perhaps it is something I should learn.” If Devyn was a surfer Felix couldn’t deny that he’d enjoy learning from her if she had the patience to teach him– at the very least it would save him from having to generate miscellaneous excuses to spend time with her outside of work. 

❢

First meeting Felix Devyn felt protective over him, which is rare considering the only people she’s protective over are people very close to her. However, the other pirate’s shyness made her feel as if she needed to take him under her wing. Least she knew she wasn’t entirely soulless. As he started to answer her question, her attention from him never faltered. Though she couldn’t help the small huffing laugh at one of the last things he said. Not everyone knew how to surf, but it just so happened that she grew up on a surfboard. It was one of her favorite escapes from her parents. Looking down at the glass in her hands on her lap, she started to fidget with the rim. “I’m from Australia. A surfboard is put in your hands before a bottle is.” Saying where she was from, willingly, is the first time. She either never says where she is from, or just says that she was in Indonesia when she became a pirate. However, this is the first time she said she is from Australia. “I can’t remember a time where I wasn’t on the board in the water.” The smile on her features was from the joyful memories in her head as she looked back up at the other. “I can teach you if you’d like? It’s not as hard as some believe it is.” Though she wasn’t too sure how basis that last statement was considering her history with the activity. 

Clearing her throat, she crossed her ankles over each other and brought the glass to her lips. “So, besides bartending, and not surfing. What else do you like to do?” She asked before taking a sip from her glass. 

[devyncambell]

Katla,

Katla’s expression softened, “You can’t really think that, can you? I would never dream of lying to you, especially about something as important as how absolutely breathtaking you are.” She smiled, shrugging, “I just… I didn’t realize just how much I’d given up on the idea of letting myself enjoy my own happiness, if I ever managed to find it, and it feels good. I’m on a beautiful island with almost everyone I care about most in the world, I have amazing friends, a wonderful boyfriend. I’ve just been feeling very lucky lately, that’s all.” 

She nodded enthusiastically, “You never have to convince me to go for cheese fries, Dev. The answer will always be yes.”

❢

Laughing, the Aussie shook her head lightly. “No, but there is such a thing as stretching the truth.” She said through a small laugh. No, Devyn never thought of herself as breathtaking, but she knew her dedication and hard work made up for that. Truly how could she compare with Katla? Or anyone else on the island? To which she didn’t mind. All she needed is Dex. Listening to the other carefully, her smile never faltered, though as she mentioned having a boyfriend, it wasn’t hard to piece together why she was so...giddy. “Well, I am happy that you are so happy.” Which she is. Hell, if anyone deserves to be this happy, it is a hundred percent Katla Aronsdottir.

“Yay.” If you ever want to get on Devyn’s good side, food is the best way to do so. Calling Dex to her side, she started to walk towards Hooked. “So, are you going to tell me more about this boyfriend? Or do I have to pull the details from you?”

[devyncambell]

Darragh,

» 

Darragh watched as she took on the role of bartender seriously. Figuring this wouldn’t take a hot minute to make, he moved around the counter to sit on one of the stools. “Lucky you is right,” he replied with his own sarcasm. He hardly had romanced millions of people, though hundreds could be said to be more accurate. He did have a penchant for being charming to get what he wanted. His libido wasn’t exactly easy to tame. 

“Millions?” He quipped with a cock of his head. “Hardly. That would take a few lifetimes to achieve,” he replied with amusement. His attention reverted back to the mixing of their drinks, noting the fresh ingredients being used. It sure beat those artificial flavorings that can be sickening. Once it was ready he picked up the glass she prepared and said ‘cheers’ before taking a sip. The drink was strong, but very refreshing. “I like it,” he declared with a pleased smile. “You nailed it perfectly.”

❢

Devyn could only laugh as she shook her head. There was no denying Darragh’s stud reputation on the island. Even sailing on different ships, there was talk of him, and when she did meet him, it was nice to put a face to the strong reputation. She wasn’t sure if it was because of his last name or because of his good looks, perhaps it was a combination of both, but she couldn’t lie and say that she didn’t enjoy hanging out with him.  “It’s different.” She said through a small laugh. There was something she think could be added to be better, but it was good. Taking another sip, she smiled her thanks up at the captain. “I can clean up if you want to get the movie started?” She said, but she was already starting to clean up the mess she created. 

Once she got everything cleaned up, Devyn let her hair down from the ponytail before grabbing her drink and the bottle of whiskey. Truthfully, she was excited to see the movie. One, because you can never go wrong with a Tom Cruise movie, and two, it’s been a while since she’s had a movie night with a human. “Are we all set?” She asked when she walked into the room where Darragh was.

Katla,

.

Katla laughed, “I’m sure he would say nothing like that at all, not least of all because your mug is quite beautiful, and also because he loves you very much.” She knew Devyn was joking, but Katla couldn’t help wanting to reply with a degree of sincerity, it bothered her to watch her friends think poorly of themselves, even if it was in jest. “Well, thank goodness I ran into you, I don’t know how much longer I could have made it,” she grinned. “Well that doesn’t sound too bad.” Katla shrugged, “I can’t say there’s been anything particularly new or different happening with me, but in a good way. Lately has been the happiest I’ve been in a while, so I’m just trying to enjoy it all while I can.”

❢  

Devyn tilted her head a little as she smiled at her friend. “Thank you, but you don’t have to lie.” She joked. “Besides, how could I possibly compare to you?” Katla is sincerely a red-headed beauty. Inside and out. Slightly narrowing her eyes she began to wonder about what happened lately that made this be her happiest. “Who and or what is making you so happy?” She questioned. “And yes, as your friend it is my right to be as nosy as possible.” Devyn was only kidding, sort of. 

“Wanna grab something to eat? I could kill for some cheese fries right now.” 

[devyncambell]

Felix,

☠

“Gee, thanks, you certainly know how to make a man feel loved,” Felix replied, a dry sarcasm in his voice as he rolled his eyes that was offset entirely by the deeply amused smile that had flickered to life on his features. He wasn’t certain what to call his relationship with Devyn— they were friends– he was, at least, relatively certain of that but their banter often took the form of gentle ribbing and occasionally sarcastic teasing but whether he understood where he fit into Devyn’s life or not he appreciated her company and the way their relationship had developed as they’d spent more and more time together. Had it not been for the fact that they both worked at Hooked Felix was almost positive he’d have been far too shy to interact with the first mate– she was leagues above him in his mind and though his own self-confidence seemed to grow with the help of his friends he was still someone who found himself exceedingly nervous around people he thought were– to a point– far better company than he thought he deserved.

The sound of Devyn’s voice pulled him from his meandering train of thoughts as he finished cleaning the glasses he’d been readying for the night when she’d walked in and he hummed softly as he mulled her question over. “It depends. I have been listening to quite a lot of punk music, lately. Rock, alternative– pop-punk. I listen to loads of music. Put on whatever you like, chérie, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it regardless.”

❢

Looking over at the other she laughed. Making friends wasn’t necessarily Devyn’s forte. In fact the friends she did have was the people she sailed with. It was hard for her to approach people. Most thought it was because she was self-centered and that she was better than everyone else. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Really, she has trust issues, which lead her to being socially awkward, and then never really having the motivation to approach anyone. However, Felix made it easy. He was someone that is easy to talk to and it’s something you pick up about him quickly. Something she was actually grateful for considering they work together and the amount of down time they had. It would be really awkward if they were to just stand there and not talk to one another. 

Ergo, making friends with Felix was on of the easiest things she’s done. 

Settling on Classic Rock, she turned the volume up a little and placed it on top of the counter. “If you want, you can change the song. I wouldn’t mind if you do.” She stated before she turned back around and grabbed two glasses and filled them with water. Tapping the other’s shoulder she offered him the spare glass. “Here, I think we can relax for a little bit.” Taking a sip of her water, she placed it to the side just so, she could jump up on the empty counter. 

“Do you know how to surf, Felix?”

Text || Matt & Devyn

[a couple days later]

Matt: I'm Dex's godfather. The dogfather! He should spend the night always!

Matt: I want a dog. I only had one when I was a kid. After that we never had the room and time to keep a pup around.

Matt: Where did you get Dex?

Devyn: Now that's a movie Hollywood should make... The Dogfather.

Devyn: Well, you have the room now. And I got him in Indonesia but I'm sure somewhere closer have pups for adoption.

Darragh,

 » 

He knew she’d find amusement in his comment. Wanting to be elusive, Darragh gave her a coy smile and said, “That’s for me to know, and you to find out.” A wink followed, simply for good measure. It was in his nature to be playful despite his serious role as a pirate captain. Listening to the ingredients of a mint julep, he nodded his head enthusiastically at the bourbon whiskey part. “Maybe a pinch of sugar in mine rather than a teaspoon. I’m already sweet enough,” Darragh jested, then took a sip of the whiskey she brought. 

When Devyn guessed the movie he had selected, his face filled with astonishment. “Ugh, you are too good of a guesser! I did pick Cocktail!” He was smiling despite failing to surprise her. He’d have to be more cunning next time. “You are already winning. You have me for company,” he grinned, leaning against the counter, ready to watch her make the mixed drink with the whiskey. 

❢

Laughing she shook her head and moved around the kitchen counter, propping the phone up just so she could follow the ingredients exactly. Granted it is a recipe that she should probably already know considering she used to be a bartender in Indonesia and she’s one again now - but it was just a drink that was never requested and one she never really bothered to make...least till now. Tying her hair up in a hair ponytail she was getting ready to mixing. It was kinda like how Violet Baudelaire from Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events, would always tie her hair up when she was getting ready to invent something. Something - just with drinks. Finding and gathering everything the drink requires, she was focused on making the drink but her bar tending skills were coming out as eyes were on the drinks - her ears were on Darragh. Huffing a small laugh, she shrugged, “It’s a blessing and a curse” She said as their was a slight shake of her head at the last thing the other had said. “Oh, lucky me.” The sarcasm hung thick with her words, only joking with him. “Though I suppose I should be careful over the millions of those who pawn for your attention.” 

Crushing the ice was the only challenging part but she was a lot stronger than she looked and it didn’t take too long to get the ice crushed. Once the ice was in each glass, she used the whiskey she brought, a pinch of sugar, 4 mint sprigs, and to finish the look a garnish - mint sprig. it was just the classic mint julep and she truly hoped the drink lived up to the hype. Wiping her hands off on her shorts she handed Darragh one of the glasses. “Cheers?” 

[devyncambell]

katlaaronsdottir​:

Katla’s smile widened when she spotted the other pirate a little bit further down the beach. She’d always enjoyed her company, but somehow their paths rarely seemed to cross in their day-to-day lives, so when they finally did, it always felt like a treat. “Tell me about it, I’ve seen no one but hundreds of fish all day, I’m just happy to see another mammal, and especially a human one.” She leaned down to give Dex a good pet, taking a moment to scratch his ears thoroughly. “I’m not thinking about much, I was really just taking a moment to admire the view, it really is beautiful here.” She stood back up, “What about you? How are you? It feels like I haven’t seen you in about 1,000 years, I want to hear about everything that’s going on in your life!”

❢

"Trust me, I’m sure if Dex could talk he would say how tired he is to see my ugly mug.” She joked as a small laugh fell from her lips. Devyn looked out towards the horizon and admired the view because Katla is right - Indulgence Isle is beautiful. It was hard to deny that. Though the other had pulled her attention back to her again, “It probably has been that long.” She lightly joked. “Honestly nothing is really new. Just work and taking care of Mr. Needy right here.” Smiling down at Dex, she looked back at Katla as she shoved her hands in her back pockets. “How about you? What have you been up to? Anything new?” 

[devyncambell]

Felix,

☠

Felix hadn’t made the choice to take up a job as a bartender at Hooked on a whim— socialization wasn’t always his strong suit and there were countless jobs across the island that wouldn’t require him to interact with anyone at all. Still, he’d taken the job with the hope that it might help him become more comfortable around large groups of people and it had had the added benefit of giving him yet another friend on the island in the form of his coworker Devyn. Granted, he was certain he’d blushed throughout the entirety of their first shift together every time she’d looked at him or spoken to him but he’d gotten over that within a few days and any distraction he experienced being in her presence was one he could brush off if he tried hard enough.

He raised his head at the sound of her voice– his hands still moving through the task of cleaning several glasses as he smiled broadly in her direction, “I think that depends on your definition of ‘dead’. It’s not exactly the Parisian catacombs in here,” Felix drawled in return, a playfulness in his voice that was made that much more apparent with his smile. “It’s slow, though– it may pick up soon but if it doesn’t I suppose you’ll just have to resign yourself to being stuck with me.”

❢

There was no doubt that there will be more people coming in Hooked, especially as night came and most were getting out of their jobs. Or they just didn’t want to be alone at night. Which was fine, she excelled at working in a fast pace environment. Laughing at his light joke, she moved over to the fresh lemons, grabbing a few before grabbing a knife and cutting board. “The catacombs are more lively at times.” She joked, slipping on small clear gloves before she started to cut the lemons, prepping for the upcoming night they may or may not have. 

“Why are making it seem as if being stuck with you is a good thing?” Devyn doesn’t have many friends, hardly any. At least not ones on the island - she just wasn’t the kind of person to have the glowing charming personality to make many friends. It took her awhile to earn the respect of the Assassin's Glare’s crew as the First Mate but eventually she did and after that it was easy to befriend the crew. On the island, it was slightly different. Though she truly saw Felix as her friend, after all, they work great together - at least so far they do. “Spending time with you and taunting you is the best part of this job.” She teased as she stuck her tongue out at the other. 

After she finished with the lemons, put everything in it’s proper place and pulled out her phone to bring up Spotify. “Hey, what kind of music do you listen to?”
