And Thats Captain To You.

[Melia]

Nora watched silently while Kidd climbed the rigging. She had recently recruited him... She wasn't sure if it was a wise choice or not.
He was young, with blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes...so innocent. And he'd approached her so excitedly...she couldn't just tell him no.
So she devised a test. If he could do a full days work as a pirate, and still want to join, he would be in.
however...sometimes a pirate's daily work could be deadly.

It had all began earlier that morn, when Nora and Loot had gone looking for crew members. They'd found very strong talented men and hard working witty women. This voyage to France might actually be good.
Nora had been dreading going to France. The pirates there knew her... Notorious Nora is what she was called. She didn't want the name or the reputation. After all, she hadn't done anything. It was just her birthright.
Her mother, Kalle Hartshore, was notorious. Kalle wouldn't hesitate to shoot an enemy, steal rum, or trash a tavern. So of course it was the talk of the grapevine when it was heard she was carrying a child. Some fancy Lord had fallen in love with her looks - the same looks Nora had.
Black wavy hair that shimmered like oil on a diamond...straight nose, neither big or too small...tan skin...long lean build...it seemed as if she was her mother's mirror in miniature. Until Kalle saw Nora's eyes.
Peircing ice blue eyes that belonged on a pale blonde.
They were her father's eyes....
In her mothers face.
