Phoenix looked up at Aram guzzling the wine. She rolled her eyes and moaned angrily. The captive approached him eyes wide. "That's way too much Aram," the younger girl chastised. "Put it down before you hurt yourself or me." Of course he probably wouldn't listen to her. Phoenix had wanted him to stay sober for both their sakes. Her hands fell to her slender hips and her stare became hard. Beneath her harsh exterior she was shaking with fear.
Phoenix bit her lip, for once unsure of how to handle him. She couldn't leave him alone like this, but she also couldn't let him get drunk. The captive swallowed her fear, hoping to keep a controlling exterior.

"..But it's all gone," Aram seemed to complain, as he did as told, placing the bottle down on the desk. "I'm sorry lassy if ye wanted some," his voice seemed to wobble just as his hands seemed to, barely able to keep himself up with just his legs. He opened his mouth, only to hear a slurpy, or storm of words that all seemed.. slurred, "It'wasbloodyazhell,good." His arm reached over the girl's shoulder, using her as support. "But I shall confess, hun," he started off, his pointer finger pointed upwards as if to prove a point. "I swear to drunk, I'm not god," He said, raising an eyebrow and givign her a 're-assuring' smile.
Hah! Still got it! Aram praised himself in his mind, as he pictured everything going perfectly normal, as things would do if you weren't a drunk nineteen year old lad.

Phoenix shrugged his arm off her shoulders. "And that would by why ye can't stand on yer own feet?" The captive spat. "You're being very irresponsible. You're supposed to be taking care of me. Instead, I have to make sure you don't hurt yourself and I have a cold." She bit her lip to keep from saying more. Unsure how to deal with a drunk boy.
Phoenix backed away from him, tripping backward on her bed. For a moment the captive stayed on her back, not having the energy to move. She sat up taking a deep breath to steady her whirrling mind. What was he thinking? He said he never got drunk. But maybe he just doesn't rememeber it. Oh please, keep me safe from trouble.

Aram began walking towards the loaction of Phoenix. With his three steps to the bed, he couldn't even make a straight line! He was as bad as a beginer on the high wire with five mile per hour winds! His knees came to the edge of the bed, his body collapsing on top of the captive's. His arms were bent near her head and his body pinned the girl down. His face was near her neck, as he did notice.
"Bed soundsa good ideas," Aram said to Phoenix, his voice was somewhat muffled from the blankets and from being right next to the girl's neck.

The younger girl felt herself thrust backward. Aram's breath tickled her neck when she realized what had happened. Phoenix grimaced under the weight. Her fragile body seemed to be crushed beneath him. "Get off!" She shoved him to the side and sat up again. "Sleeping in your own bed would be a good idea!"
Phoenix watched him nervously hoping he wouldn't pass out. "Hey hold that on there tighter. You might bleed to death. I told you not to drink it. Now what am I going to do with you?" The captive shook her head. She shivered in her skimpy clothes, coughing uncontrolably until her face turned red. Her legs shook, but she couldn't take care of herself. Keeping Aram healthy helped her. Maybe I'm selfish, but I have to be to survive. There's just no other choices.

His head was turned towards Phoenix, but the only source of light was on the other side of the lass, making her a silohuet. Rolling over onto his back, grabbing a hold of Phoenix's wrist, "But chya can sleep in my's bed if ye wants. Or I can keeps yez warm," he said, his fingers stroked the hair of the captive, which could have gotten a trim for some of the split ends he felt.
I really wouldn't mind that.. keeping you warm, Aram thought as he had a feeling that she would just be harsh and slap his hand away or something. Though, that could have been the alchohol talking, not him. Would this be copying my parent's story? Hah, it's my own story. No one can writes a pirate's life! The lad exclaimed, proudly, in his head. So.. Phoenix, what's it going to be?

Phoenix shook her head and stood. "These beds are too small for two people even if I wanted you to keep me warm," she said matter-of-factly. She walked to the other bed on shaky legs and sat down. The captive wrapped the blanket around herself, lying down.
The lass gazed off dreamily into nothingness. This is crazy. Phoenix thought. We should be back on the boat in our own seperate areas. I can't let there be a repeat of last time. I'm still trying to process that kiss. And why I didn't stop it sooner. I lost control in that situation. I can't make that mistake again. She believed that having control was key in any situation. And maybe the captive was right, who can say for sure?

"Ye... no fun, whatah drags. Now, it's safe to say.. I'm sorry I kissedye," Aram told Phoenix. He felt the cold air on his upper body, seeing how he had no shirt on, or a blanket over him. Aram didn't feel like he was in an akward position, due to the thought of: Remember, act drunk.
Once again, Aram rolled over, this time to his side to see Phoenix bundled up in his bed. He gave a small sigh, getting up from his bed. His body staggered as attempted to pull the night stand out from between the two beds.. he barely made it. This is quite amusing, I stumble like I'm from Tortuga! The pirate laughed in his head as he attempted to push what was once Phoenix's bed, closer towards his old one. Just pretend like.. you can barely do it. Aye. And then..fall asleep. Aye, sleep would be good after this tiring work, Aram thought mischieviously as he continued pushing the bed with his whole body towards the new location of Phoenix.

Phoenix closed her eyes, hanging her head in dismay. She took a deep breath, then looked at Aram darkly. "This is a bad idea. You'll never get to sleep if you do this," the captive said. Tht came out totally wrong. I should be more careful of what I say. "You say sorry for kissing me while you're drunk? Aram, you are a confusing man. If you were going to regret it then you shouldn't be doing it."
She laughed uneasily, unsure of what to do about his bed moving closer. Take control. The younger girl reminded herself. Phoenix got off her bed and crawled across the other. She sat down, her face inches from Aram's and slapped him across the cheek. Her fiery eyes seemed brighter in her hatred and hostility.

The weight of the bed changed, causing Aram to pause, only to be shot on the cheek. Aram's facial expression shot down as he paused, seeing how Phoenix slapped him across the face. He lookd up at her, which her face was only inches away from his own face. An easy lunge for a kiss, but a pause for the slap. "What was that for?" He asked her, acting dumb on purpose. The feeling in his cheek felt numb, but he knew he had it coming. It had been a long time since he had been smacked like that, but the more he thought about it, he couldn't remember being slapped.
He could see the anger in her eyes, which made him want to smile, "Ye'r cute when ye smiles." Aram stared longingly into her eyes of fire, only seeing a cute girl pout.

"Lying is a sin," Phoenix whispered leaning a little closer to him. "Yer not drunk so stop acting ye are." She gave him a sneering smile blinking her still bright eyes. The captive crossed her legs infront of her. Watching him intently. This is harassment. Too bad no one cares seeing as I'm a legal captive. They can force me to do anything, and no one would be on my side.
The sixteen-year-old tilted up her her chin a little. Looking more directly into Aram's sandy eyes. Unable to sit still she picked at the blanket, twriling the fabric around her finger tips. Phoenix winked and smiled for a quick moment. "I've got you figured out," she whispered. Not trying to be seductive, and yet it still came out sounding that way. "I'm just your toy."

Aram was a little on the confused side, Why is she acting drunk? He pulled himself up from the ground, as he slid up onto the bed next to Phoenix. He placed his head near her ear and whispered: "That's where you're wrong," Aram said with a smile, saying nothing but the truth. His english accent was carried on in the sentance. She's so.. aye. Spunky.
Aram got up from the bed, taking in a deep sigh. He stretched his arms up in the air and felt a cold breeze in the air. "But, aye, I should give ye credit anyways. So, Congrats. You recieved more KP," Aram said as he glanced over at his journal. He walked over to the night stand which was now at the foot of the bed. That's a good.. maybe 4,000 KP total? Sounds good.., he said as he picked up the book, begining to scroll through the pages.
Picking up the pen which layed next to the journal, he crossed out the original number that rested under neath the name: Captive, Phoenix. "Four.. thousand KP," Aram scribbled in cursive.

"Ye still haven't told me what KP is," Phoenix fell backward. She turned her head to the side, watching him flip through the little book. "Are ye gonna tell me now?" It was an innocent question of course. Although, being asked by a not so innocent girl may have made it seem less. So which bed am I sleeping in? The captive wondered. She laughed a little to herself, smiling since he couldn't see it.
Pleasing others was not her idea of a good thing. So I'm not a toy, that's a relief. But I was right that he's not drunk. Another good thing. I'm not his keeper. Phoenix had so many questions about Aram. He was different from all the other pirates. Mostly she wondered about his background. The lass knew about most of the other's, but not his.

Turning his head of golden hair, Aram stared at Phoenix. Placing down his journal back onto the night stand, he continued staring at the girl. "What do I get through the deal? I like KP a lot, so.. an exchange," he smiled as he leaned back against the wall. Both of his arms were crossed, one of which, held onto the bandanna covered in wine and blood.
Phoenix.. no toy. No human is a toy. They can only amuse each other. Haha, but how amusing they are; Nao and you. You're just a captive. Nothing less, but.. perhaps something more? He asked himself as he reminded himself to keep a hold of the bandanna. His arms unfolded, and one of them came up to his head, applying a little pressure to the wound.

Phoenix returned to a sitting position. Her legs hanging of the bed swinging freely. "What kind of exchange," came her cautious reply. "The knowledge isn't worth enough for me to do just anything." She held his gaze steadily, not wanting to break the stare. Next to him, her head tilted upwards uncomfortably.
"I have no material possessions to offer you," Phoenix reminded. "Unless of course you want one of me dresses?" She laughedagain as she spoke. The words hadn't even finished coming out of her mouth.
