It's a hell of a thing to see, though I confess I am about done with the less glamorous aspects of sailing. [He chuckles, waving a hand.] Bad food and never enough of it, storms, leaks, watches at all hours, and that's before one gets to the life-or-death battles....
I'd like to see your New York. Could trade you for Nassau, and see which one of us has the worse parts.
There is that. A city's not a city empty. Though a beach on an island in the tropics is a nice place to spend some time without a crowd around.
[He flashes Angel a grin.]
When my old ship's crew had to careen her, they'd set up a tent on the beach, invite attractive company and hold a barbecue for the occasion. First one I was responsible for, I confess I didn't pay proper attention to the barbecue.
It turned out to cause some small problem, as I was the ship's cook at the time.
[For very different reasons than he's implying, but still.]
Not being the sort to live a safe and quiet life, I wanted to ensure I fit in as much living as possible on the off chance I caught a dagger in the back before becoming obscenely rich and retiring to a private island off the shores of sunny Spain.
[He grins at Angel, and, quite deliberately, stretches out his good leg to press the toe of his boot against Angel's ankle.]

Ya seem to have had quite the excitin' life.

His lips quirk at that press, casually returning the touch with those long legs of his.]
That still how you're livin' life?~
