AS PER HER EMPRESS' REQUEST all women were to steer clear of the men at their departure since his crew had already made such a big imposition, as she called it, on their new years celebration. however, valentina was one of the more rebellious women on the island ＆ there was one last thing she wanted to do. of course she had to act quick because the snake princess did not want them on amazon lily any longer. in fact, allowing them to stay until sunrise was her being overly generous.
the smaller amazonian rushed in time to see them packing up ship ＆ sucked on her bottom lip, contemplating whether or not to even go through with this. however, upon catching glimpse of the red haired pirate, her body moved involuntarily ＆ she made a quick dash for him.ㅤ‘ 𝘠𝘖𝘜! 𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵? ’ㅤhe's a lot larger than she remembered, however she was pretty heavily intoxicated when he first arrived. she considers how to approach this ＆ opts for the only way she can really think to do so.
valentina balls her fists into his high collared cape to bring him down to her level ＆ presses her soft lips to his cheek.ㅤ‘ 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨.

[ super old new years kiss / @amazonien ]
The Red Hair Pirates had spent the morning, hungover, complaining, laughing, but clearing every bit of the shore of debris. Most hadn't slept beyond a few hours here and there. But, as the sun rose, the beach was cleaned, the Force repaired, and they had even gained a few rations from a handful of Amazons; most delivered by Gloriosa with a claim that she only did so out of loyalty to Shakky.
With only one arm, Shanks had become less useful at packing up. He lingered behind, trading jabs with the others when someone called out to him. He perked up and turned towards the forest from where the sound came and gave a nervous smile when he saw the young woman from the evening's celebrations marching towards him.
“That'd be me,” he gave her a nervous smile, half bracing himself for the worst. He'd mostly sobered up and could only assume she had too and had returned to deck him for the kiss he'd laid on her.
He'd heard enough stories from Shakky to know that would be getting off easy. Brows raised when she, instead, placed a gentle kiss to his cheek. He straightened up when he she released his cape and chuckled at the look on her face. A smile filled with adventure and mischief.
“I hope I can answer them one day, Valentina.” He murmured. He'd asked her name and was surprised he's gotten an answer. “Maybe we'll meet on the sea some day.” She released him, stepped away and Shanks laughed and raised his hand to wave farewell as she raced off.
