Summary: Captain Noir knew that taking a mermaid on board might be a problem, but this was becoming out of hand.
Warning: Not beta’d. Continuing this fill and this one.
There were plenty of superstitions that surrounded sailing, but considering he had Plagg on board, Captain Noir had learned to live with it.
Now, he’d thought having the embodiment of luck aboard might somehow negate that misfortune a little, but it almost seemed like it negated what misfortune he already turned away. Why else would they be attempting to flee from another pod of mermaids? It seemed like they would be informed.
“It has nothing to do with being informed,” Ladybug explained as the ship’s sails finally caught the wind. The distance between them and the pod was growing, Plagg beside her looking on, bemused. “Pods outside of the one I was born to will attempt to take me for the good of their own.”
“Does this deal with that ‘certain day’ you were talking about?” Chat Noir asked, glancing back her way.
Were they speaking face-to-face, she would only have to nod. However, because they weren’t, she supposed she had to answer.
“Yes.” A pause. “... How much do you know about mermaids, Captain?”
“Enough that I avoid them - well, most of them.”
“Hm…”
She watched the others fade to the waters; the ship must have gone beyond their territory. Maybe now, she could tell him. Or, not all of the truth.
“... My birth in a pod means power will come to them once that day arrives. As such, others will attempt to capture me unless I remain in my pool. However, that day only arrives now, after about twenty turns around the sun. Living on that island only, hearing only tales of the lands and seas I would never see… I know it was selfish to ask, but Tikki did give permission. I’m sure because Plagg is with you.”
“Hmph…” Captain Noir snorted, but fell silent himself. Trapped then; he understood that all too well. “... Guess that’ll just make this adventure a little more exciting~ Don’t worry, My Ladybug. The world tour continues! Though, some stops, time may be of the essence; remember that.”
Her blue eyes widened, and he shot a grin back at her expression. Winking, he turned to look ahead, unbothered by the weight of Plagg jumping onto his shoulder. “I said I would and I’m a pirate of my word. It’ll be another day before the next port, but you’re gonna like it, just wait!”
She was avoiding his eyes. Chat wondered if he could get her blushing like that more because he was tempted to make her so rosy cheeked again. It was such a pretty blush, making the freckles from atop her nose stand out and the ones over her shoulders and…oh. Oh, alright he needed a second to recover. Maybe two. Maybe fifty years of being a monk on a deserted island. Yeah, that seemed about right.
Is Noir a drinker? If so what kind of a drunk is he? Like a Violent drunk? A hugger drunk? A drunk who don't seem to remember where his clothes went the next day? Did he get most of his scars while drunk? My gosh the more I talk the more I want to see him drunk around your other Oc's.
I’d say yes, he is a drinker, but the type that gets overly excited about almost anything. :D
Mainly a lot of screaming, cheering, and yelling at hallucinations if there are any.
