Wes was walking around the docks, looking for Leland. He hadn’t seen him since the masquerade. He hadn’t teamed up with the villains, but he didn’t mind the way things were now. He was pretty easy going, a go with the flow kind of guy. He sees Leland and smiles. “There’s the man I’ve been looking for.”

After the takeover, Leland’s mood had lifted significantly and his crew was overjoyed at finally having freedom to act as they pleased. They had played their roles well but the masks had finally fallen, in a literal and metaphorical sense. “Wes,” he nodded to the other when the man approached, smiling broadly in return. “ what do ye need me fer?”

Rhianon rolled her eyes, “It means I don’t get to pick my outfits unless I’m going to sleep.” another thing about her life she was tired of by now. “Honestly there are days I wish I could be a pirate. To be free. To have only the ocean and her crew, to let the wind guide her. It all sounded pretty amazing right now. “Oh the fireflies? I just summoned them with my bauble.” The little glowing light was usually tucked neatly away in her hair and it came flying out, buzzed around Leland and whizzed back behind her hair. “It used to be my mothers.” She explained. 

That little wish, earnest or not, gave the pirate a wide opening. “Aye, tha ocean be a beauty like no other. Ye could do all t’at, ya know.” When the crew was particularly stir crazy, they sailed into the ocean for a day, enjoying sea life as real pirates should, unfortunately they still had things tethering them to Auradon so they had little choice in matters of returning. The pirate captain’s internal musing were interrupted by a little light passing by his face. “Interestin’ creature. Not seen anythin’ like et—- or anythin’ like ye either,” he added with a small grin.

Rhianon felt the need to cross her arms over her dress when he looked over her. There was something about her interest and the way he looked at her that made her want to be modest. Maybe it was because for once in her life another part of her liked the idea of being looked at. “Well…I mean I do choose the overall look. I just don’t handle any of the smaller details.” It was hard to remember, she did usually spend several hours getting ready before leaving the house. And the nature of her acolytes meant one or two were with her at all times unless she was in private meditation. “I…I suppose I mostly just like to wear pajammas.” She admitted. She raised an eyebrow at the name of his ship, “Really? Isn’t that one of the ships in the bay?”

The flirting came natural, it was almost too easy when it came to sheltered princesses. Of course, they often had more -- class than Isle girls so he knew he had to be careful with what he implied. “Means ye prefer comfort, ah can agree with t’at but I’m sure ye look pretty in whatever ye wear.” This was more grade school kind of flirting if he was honest but the pirate assumed she would not be a fan of the many crude compliments he gave in the past. “Aye, ‘tis be the best in the bay.” It was not all arrogance, any proud pirate captain took the opportunity to brag about their ship and crew, reputation was everything on the waters. “But ahm more curious about ya. How did ye do t’at with tha little light creatures?”

Rhianon was inexperienced to say the least. Love was like the sun on the horizon for her. Still, as he approached her, there was something so cavalier about him. Behind his eyes she saw hidden depths, and she didn’t know if she wanted to save him or join him. She looked up with blue-bell eyes, “Don’t believe a princess who says she’s not pretty.” She chuckled at her own joke, “It’s all a lie anyway, a whole team of people put this together, reputations and all that…” She was here to promote her culture after all, “Leland,” The name and the accent were both a little strange but it only added to his charm. Rhianon offered her hand, “I’m Rhianon Princess of Llyr.” She smiled, “And I’m assuming you’re a…pirate? Is that a stereotype?” 

Leland had never been fond of royalty. Their rules and culture contradicted everything about the pirate’s seafaring spirit. Although, he did have to admit that they made wonderful targets; deep pockets and usually empty heads. “Ah don’t believe anyt'ing t’at easy.” He shrugged, taking an appreciative glance over of the princess’ outfit. “They be talented but ahm interested tae know what ye usually like tae wear.” He took her hand in his own, pressing a chaste kiss to soft skin before letting go. “Maybe but ah don’t mind makin’ et obvious. Ahm tha captain of The Red Curse.”

Her first impression of the pirate was not that he was a pirate at all but an attractive young man, maybe a prince. Rhianon was unused to being approached by attractive men, her brothers usually did a good job of warding off any potential interest. The way this man looked at her, though, made her heart flutter. She looked down shyly at the compliment before meeting his gaze with a wink, “I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Flirting came as natural as breathing to the wayward heartbreaker. That had been his reputation until his most recent ex who had thoroughly wormed his way into the pirate’s seemingly untouchable heart. If he were to believe in such superstitions, he would agree that it was probably karma that had doomed his first ever love for failure. “Shame because ye be much too pretty to not know et.” Smiling back, he gave a small bow like he had seen those prissy princes do when they greeted their equally prissy princesses. “Ahm Leland Smee. May I ‘ave the pleasure of hearing yer name?”

Rhianon slipped out into the gardens as the sun was just starting to slip behind the horizon. It was a warm and lively night, and there was a gentle buzz of conversation. Everything felt perfect. But…maybe the party could use a little kick. She brought her hands close to her mouth and whispered a short incantation, then when she released her hands several fireflies flew out providing a warm glow for the party and much amusement. Little did she know someone was watching her from the shadows.

Anger and bitterness seemed to be all the pirate could feel these days. Nothing had been going his way for a long time but finally, his alliance with Uma was proving to be more useful than he had ever expected. The sleeping spell and now this foolish party were proving to be good distractions but it wasn’t until he spotted a small display of magic that a crooked grin appeared on his lips. “Ah can’t decide what’s prettier. Tha fireflies or tha lass that summoned them,” he spoke as he approached her with a charming smile.

Ellie woke up covered in sweat and having to catch her breath. It actually happened. When Le had told her what Uma and Hades where going to do she was excited for it. All she could think was how all the AKs and heroes where going to be in for a major shock at the idea of all the villains running around in Auradon once again. She wasn’t prepared for what the sleep curse was going to bring. She saw many memories in the sleep: her mother letting Gaston walk all over her not caring about how he treated her because while her sister (ellie’s aunts) gave him boys, she was the only one to give him a girl. She remembered him teaching her how to hunt with her brothers and all the tough love he gave her as he called it. She remembered how she tried her best to defend Gil and in return it cost both of them pain. The blonde also recalled when her father found out she joined a pirate’s crew and what he did to her. She was awake now, aboard Th Red Curse and she was safe. Ellie walked over to the Captain’s Quarter and knocked. “Leland you awake?”

[piratcblood]

The sleeping curse had inflicted a deep wound within the captain’s already broken heart. Leland had informed his crew thoroughly of Hade’s plan after speaking on the details with Uma. The big warning was that they would not be safe from its affects and they could see any number of nightmares while they were put under. The captain thought he was ready for it because no nightmare could be worse than the tragic life he had lived on the Isle. Instead, he had been greeted with at first with a pleasant dream of Neverland, returning to his home for good and ruling its seas. However, his heart knew he was missing someone and the dream had quickly taken a dark turn, bringing with it old and new fears. It felt never ending until suddenly his eyes snapped open, his limbs felt heavy and he was covered in a layer of sweat, but he pushed himself up and cleaned himself up as quickly as he could. He had an entire crew to worry about and he was pleased to hear that his first mate had woken up by the time he was changing into new clothes. “Come in,” he called to her as he adjusted his swords around his waist.

“ i’m no coin . but a diamond .   cold , hard , and beautiful .    don’t you agreed ? ”

                   she laughed , conjuring up a throne made                    of ice for her to sit on . no sense in her not                    taking advantage of her powers while she                    could . and maybe to show off a bit .

“ leland .. i don’t like it . i think   i’m going to call you stretch .   or maybe cap’n crunch .   thoughts ? ”

“ye goin’ tae freeze me if i don’t?” so much for a new crewmate. not that it was that easy to join his crew but arrogant magic users could definitely never be an asset. ruthless and cunning, he liked those qualities, but this woman was clearly no team player. “ye should try bein’ more original if ye want tae insult me. i’ve heard more creative names from toddlers.”

“Oh man we are so not alike there. I could eat sweets all day. They have this rum cake that I love.”

“Rum cake? I could give et ah second chance if et’s got rum.”

“Good. I knew you had potential and I am so glad my intuition was right. You’re my favorite prodigy and I could never be any prouder. So tell me, how’s life?”

“Couldn’t do any less with ah da’ like mine.” Meaning, Smee had left him no grand legacy to speak of so he had to make his own. “Et’s life but things are gettin’ interesting.”

“ haven’t you heard it’s considered   bad luck to sneak up on a mermaid ?   from what i hear , you can’t afford   to be continually getting cursed . ”

                   she remarked , wetting her lips as she                    appeared behind the man ; circling him                    curiously . oh , bloody pirates . they never                    did seem to learn .

“ give me one good reason   why i shouldn’t place the   black mark on you right now . ”

[piratcblood]

“ aye, and what ‘ave ye heard? wasn’t aware of what ye were. ” as a pirate, leland knew the dangers of mermaids, had some on his own crew, and he respected their kind. however, he did not take threats lightly and he knew more than a few tricks for dealing with merfolk. “ ye mean other than ah was mindin’ me own business? ” if he had startled her, it hadn’t been his intention, the captain was simply in the area for his own needs. none of which meant getting cursed.

“Bread is to die for here. I’ve gained so many pounds from eating bread and desserts.” He smiles at him and orders a beer.

“Sugar’s still not fer me.” The intense sweetness was not something he enjoyed, probably because he enjoyed the bitterness of rum too much.

[piratcblood]

“She’s a beaut. I love her. I’m so fuckin proud of you Leland. You’re amazing at what you do.” He never dreamed he would live to see his prodigy have his ship. “It’s truly fantastic.”

"Yer approval means ah lot,” he admitted. Leland was confident, arrogant at times, but if one person kept him humble aside from his first mate, it was his mentor, Wes.

He takes it and drinks it like he’s dehydrated and it’s water. “Man that’s some good shit. Better than on the Isle. I’m so glad I’m here. Let’s go get some more.” He followed him to the ship. “I am so excited to see your ship. It’s gonna be amazing.”

Leland grinned, leading the older man to his ship. “Aye, me ship has plenty of rum and she’s gotten some improvements done since we’ve been 'ere.” They had better supplies available to them to keep up the ship and it was easier to keep clean in less polluted waters.

“I like a good beer. Count me in. Burgers sound amazing. Let’s go bro.” He laughed at his lame joke.

Leland shook his head, already used to his brother’s antics. After adjusting the swords on his waist, he lead the way to the burger place, walking at a brisk pace to get out of the cold sooner. “Didn’t know bread could taste good,” he admitted, remembering that if bread made it to the Isle, they always had to cut it around the mold.
