At your age I should not have to remind you to call me ‘Sir’.

Okay. Not a question, sir. A statement.

Yes, Mr. Wellard, what is it?

tiredofhardtack // You alright, there?

*looks up at Ellis from where hes sitting* Yeah. Just *shrugs* Meh

*sits down beside him, rest an arm around his shoulder* Meh?

*leans against him, hiding face against his shoulder* Meh.

Is there anything I can do to make it… not meh?

*shrugs* Just talk? Your voice is relaxing. *mutters, flushing deep red*

Really? *smiles softly* Well, alright then. Uh… anything specific you want to hear?

*shakes head* Anything. How your day was? *kisses his cheek*

*nuzzles against* Well, I didn’t get beat or drowned or lose any limbs, so I would say it was good enough.

*smiles a little, playing with cuffs* That’s always a good start. Do you have somewhere to be? I don’t want to keep you.

Hanging compass. This compass is reversed and would have been hung over an Admiral’s bed so as he’s laying down he could check the direction the ship was headed. This particular model dates from 1766.

The most impressive naval career of all the female sailors is that of William Brown, a black woman who spent at least twelve years on British warships, much of this time in the extremely demanding role of captain of the foretop. A good description of her appeared in London’s Annual Register in September 1815: “She is a smart, well-formed figure, about five feet four inches in height, possessed of considerable strength and great activity; her features are rather handsome for a black, and she appears to be about twenty-six years of age.” The article also noted that “in her manner she exhibits all the traits of a British tar and takes her grog with her late messmates with the greatest gaiety.” Brown was a married woman and had joined the navy around 1804 following a quarrel with her husband. For several years she served on the Queen Charlotte, a three-decker with 104 guns and one of the largest ships in the Royal Navy. Brown must have had nerve, strength, and unusual ability to have been made captain of the foretop on such a ship….The captain of the foretop had to lead a team of seamen up the shrouds of the foremast, and then up the shrouds of the fore-topmast and out along the yards a hundred feet or more above the deck…. At some point in 1815, it was discovered that Brown was a woman and her story was published in the papers, but this does not seem to have affected her naval career….What is certain is that Brown returned to the Queen Charlotte and rejoined the crew.

Iamnocoward/ How long are you going to be mad at me?

“As long as I have to be,” Katherine replied, glaring at him, “I may be an American but you do not have to be so rude.”

@iamnocoward

Henry looked down. “Please have my heartfelt apologies for the offence I caused you Miss.” He shuffled his feet. “I shouldn’t have said what I did. It was unfair and very rude of me.”

Katherine softened a little, but she was still upset. “Apology accepted, but please, for others’ sake remember that no everything you hear is true.”

#quietresistence #v: offence caused

He nodded and looked at her, "you're correct miss. And even if I do I shouldn't repeat it, especially to the parties who would be offended." His face was flushed and he coughed.

*narrows eyes suspiciously but nods* You don’t have to lie, I know I’m a troublemaker. I just… I’m sorry. Truce? *offers hand*

*shakes it with a beaming smile* Truce. And I’m not lying. Why else would I want to be friends?

*small, crooked grin* Because we as well be since we’re sharing space and lessons and… tribulations and such. Might as well have an ally.

*laughs softly* if I were looking for an ally I’d be sucking up to Mr. Hornblower or Mr. Kennedy. I’d just like a friend. It’s hard being a middie.

Not an easy task. I think Mr. Hornblower has eyes and ears on the back of his head. Friend sounds welcome, you’re right, it isn’t easy. Don’t worry, I’m not normally such a … whatever.

*smiles* I’m not normally such an ass either. I am sorry for the way I acted Mr Blithe

Thanks. So…what brings you here?

MOVIE STARTERS VOL.5 ( SUCKER PUNCH ) ( ZACK SNYDER )

❛ Only you can find it. And if you do, it will set you free. ❜

❛ This was never my story. ❜

❛ Don’t screw it up, okay? ❜

❛ You’ll never have me. NEVER. ❜

❛ Everyone has an angel. A guardian who watches over us. ❜

❛ Don’t let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. ❜

❛ Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? ❜

❛ Who teaches us what’s real and how to laugh at lies? ❜

❛ Who decides why we live and what we’ll die to defend? ❜

❛ Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free? ❜

❛ You have all the weapons you need. Now fight. ❜

❛ Did you lose your fight, huh? ❜

❛ This can’t be. We did everything right. ❜

❛ I’m gonna escape from here and I’m gonna be free. ❜

❛ Well, send me a postcard from paradise. ❜

❛ If you don’t stand for something. You’ll fall for anything. ❜

❛ You are safe, it’s all safe. Now relax, and just let go. ❜

❛ You control this world. Let the pain go. Let the hurt go. Let the guilt go. ❜

❛ I try to give you a good life. I try. I do. And all I ask for in return is just respect. Honesty. A give and take relationship. ❜

❛ No, no, no. No one’s buying that, honey. ❜

❛ There is nothing you can do. ❜

❛ It’s too late to play the good guy, it is far too late! ❜

❛ This is a mistake. Please don’t do this. ❜

❛ I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to say anything! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. ❜

❛ You have anything to say? Anything? ❜

❛ You know what sweetheart? It’s okay, it’s okay. ❜

❛ It’s a shame I couldn’t do more. I wasn’t given much time, you see. ❜

❛ To be honest with you, I’ve wondered myself whether or not it is right. ❜

❛ I’ve been doing this for quite some time. ❜

❛ For those who fight for it, life will have a flavour the sheltered will never know. ❜

❛ Don’t write a check with your mouth that you can’t cash with your ass. ❜

❛ There are armed guards everywhere! ❜

❛ We’re already dead. ❜

❛ When reality is a prison, your mind can set you free. ❜

❛ You are afraid. Don’t be. ❜

❛ I lost everyone I loved. And then they locked me away. With no where to hide from the pain. ❜

❛ Oh, and one more thing – Don’t wake the dragon. ❜

❛ We can deny angels exist; convince ourselves they can’t be real. But they show up anyway, at strange places and at strange times. ❜

❛ This is a joke, right? ❜

❛ We don’t keep things here that have no purpose. You see, your fight for survival starts right now. ❜

❛ Go out and live a normal life. Love, be free, you have to live for all of us now. ❜

❛ You’re the only one of us who ever had a chance out there. ❜

❛ There has to be another way. ❜

❛ Have you ever wanted to just take something back? You know, something you said, something you did? ❜

❛ Your fight for survival starts right now. ❜
