CLOSED STARTER for @madmarerubies ft. Mary
Lebas had been whispered about when he first returned to Tortuga, when the news of the last ship he served on having been pulled into the depths. He was - as far as he knew - the last survivor. The only survivor. And he might as well have been the one who send it to its watery grave with all its occupants with it. After all, he had lost love for the life of a pirate. There was some bad blood between him and some of the pirates, and they had not understood why he'd left them.
He'd ignored the rumors, there was nothing he could do about it.
And he'd tried to bury the fact that none of those he'd sailed with had survived. That they were all gone. It was easier to think they were still out there, creating havoc.
Still, the sight of one of them caught him off guard. And while he should be reluctant, he had walked up to her before he could stop himself from doing so.
"Mary?"
