[ the knock on his door is almost delicate. a faint sound that would perhaps come as a surprise given how uninvited the guest at the other side is. but at the very least, uninvited and uncalled for as she is, she does so bother being polite by knocking.
the woman on the other side of the door is a bit of an odd mixture of medieval and modernity with her long gown on the one hand and a few earrings at each ear on the other.
she seems to know where she is, judging by the sunny, sightly sharp smile that falls onto red lips ]
[ her visit does come as a surprise, he wasn't expecting anyone, but still a pleasant one at that. he has hardly any time to look confused as to who it is when he's already grinning. who cares who it is when she's looking like that? ]
... One couldn't certainly hope for a better evening.
How can I help you, love?
[ unsuspecting any danger he opens the door and leans on the doorframe casually. she must have seen him on the network. ]
[ said with a little smile as she slips just beneath his arm and walks inside, looking around as she does. tinkerbell likes him, she can see why, it does soften the bite in her a little.
it helps that he's handsome. ]
Lady Morgana of Camelot, if you ever heard of the place.
[ said with a little grin as she dies down her dress. it would be a first, rum. it's what they give the men at the taverns that she was never allowed to even think of visiting. ladies drink a glass of wine or mead, rum is harsher and kept for knights when they have an evening or themselves. or sailors.
or pirates, it would seem. ]
Seeing I only have one option, I shall opt for it.
[ she takes the glass from him, takes a long sip and if it's too strong, it doesn't show. instead, she leans in her seat, tries to decide what she thinks of him outside of handsome, offended a friend and arguably a good person. ]
Or perhaps I was simply curious. Ladies go about their days meeting lords, princes, knights but pirates.
[ it's not that unusual for ladies to come find him in the hopes of hearing more of his adventures and he always thinks it's a pleasure. this time even more than usual since Eudio is still a new place for him. although perhaps he should get used to it since his reputation seems to have preceded him. ]
I see.
To claim that pirates rarely have the opportunity address a lady wouldn't be a lie either but in my case it isn't quite so. Back in the Enchanted Forest the royalty often wanted me to do their dirty work for them.
[ let's not pretend all princesses are like Snow White. he has a feeling she knows what he's talking about. ]
[ she nearly orchestrated a death of a king. that he is alive is only thanks to a moment of her mercy and compassion. she smiles, brings the glass to her lips against ]
Some ladies are girls are some are women, I am of the latter sort. Whatever dirty work I have, I do it on my own.
[ honestly, the world could do with more royalty handling their own problems. Morgana's attitude is one he looks up to so he can already tell they'll get along fine. ]
I won't argue that it didn't pay well, but often I found that my heart was simply not in it.
[ in a way, her heart was never in her own duties as a lady, either. for all the jewelry and the silks, there was a heavy price that soon became a heavier burden. ]
Kings can be idle and cruel. It's an easy path to take from a good king to a mad tyrant.
So am I truly the first scoundrel you have had the pleasure of meeting? Or is it simply pirates that you are currently interested in?
[ he somehow doubts Morgana spent all her life locked up in a tower like some of the ladies he has met. it's like she said, she's no damsel and so far she has showed no sign of uncertainty even though she is in the present of a murderer and a thief. he's starting to assume it wasn't only curiosity that brought her here. ]

Lady Morgana of Camelot, if you ever heard of the place.
[ she takes a sit ]
won't you offer a lady a drink?
no subject
[ he makes a face but doesn't comment on it further. he might even know the place, we just don't know. ]
[ and by all means, do come inside. he merely keeps smiling and closes the door after her. ]
Well, what would you like to drink, Lady Morgana of Camelot? I'm afraid I only have rum.
[ naturally. he goes to find her a glass anyway. it takes a moment since he doesn't know his way around the kitchen too well yet. ]

Was it the rum that brought you to my doorstep? Perfectly understandable, that.

no subject
[ it's mostly said with an evident aroma of humor. ladies and their secrets, it would seem ]
But I heard of you. Maybe I was curious.

And has this meeting lived up to your expectations?
no subject
[ lightly. ]
it might go to your head.
