"You're crazy." Estaban rolled his eyes at her grin. A smile came to his own lips when he saw she wasn't hurt, but he quickly turned his attention the the crew member that'd been attacking Lucky. "Off my ship before I really shoot ya."

Normally, despite all that had happened, Lucky would have protested. This time around, she kept her mouth shut. The crew would honestly be better off without the man, and something told her it'd be highly unlikely she could convince Estaban of anything other than what he'd set his mind on.

"But cap-"
"Off my ship. Or I throw ya." Estaban made his way over to lucky and looked her up and down. "Are ya okay? Did he hurt you?" His voice full of worry and concern.

"I'm fine." Lucky said, rolling her eyes. "The only injured one is that ass." She jerked her head in the man's direction, tapping her arm where she'd cut him.

Estaban cocked his head to the side, spotting the blood. "Huh. Good job, Lucky?" He sounded confused as if not knowing what quiet happened. "What'd ya do to him?"

Lucky dangled her knife, which still had a small bit of the man's blood on it, between her forefinger and thumb. "I prefer knives o'er guns. Plus, it was easier t' reach. When he grabbed me…" She trailed off, not seeing the need to explain further.

"He grabbed ya?" Estaban's eyebrows shot up. He didn't want to explode in anger, but the urge was there. "Yer sure yer not hurt?" The anger he felt creeping into his voice.

"Yeah, I am." Lucky hesitantly reached up, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry, for causin' a commotion." She was well aware that she had a habit of instigating fights, and causing trouble.

"Its fine, Lucky." Estaban frowned slightly at her. "It ain't yer fault. You where defenden' yer self." He had stiffened slightly at her touch, not really expecting it. By now all his anger had left, leaving him more worried then anything.

Lucky let her hand drop, now that he wasn't as angry. She couldn't help but notice the way he'd stiffened, and was slightly worried it was her fault. "It was a bit more than tha'." She said, shaking her head. "I mighta been itchin' t' knock 'im down a peg."

Estaban's worry changed yet again, but this time to amusement. "Well ya did a bang up job o' that." He waved his hand, mentioning to the pirate that was trying to get a row boat over the edge of the ship.

Lucky let out a small laugh, eyes flickering to the pirate. "I'm pretty certain tha's one man your ship won' miss." She said, wrinkling her nose as she stuck her hands in her pockets.

"Maybe." Estaban continued watching him struggle. Amusement still on his face. "We didn't have a fourth." He said, meaning who was next in change.

"So find one." Lucky said, as though it was that simple. "You've got a bit o' time, and a fine crew." She said, eyes sweeping across the deck.

Estaban turned his attention to Lucky. "Well ya see," he started, "while yer here maybe ya'd like the role? It'd mean less trouble fer' ya."

Lucky blinked in surprise, pausing to think. It could make things easier. And it could very well present new problems. And yet… "I…I'd be happy to. Ya sure?"

Estaban shrugged, happy that she'd excepted. "I'm sure. Besides ya already proved yer self t' these men, I'm sure they wouldn't mind following some of yer orders."

((Skskskks we need adVENTURE))

Lucky huffed a laugh, shaking her head. "We'll see abou' that. And I didn' prove all that much, 'know."

(Sure, lol.)

It had been a week since Lucky had joined them. Of course Estaban still planned to honor her wishes of leaving at the next place they stopped, but he somehow hopped that he'd be able to convince her to stay. After all, he'd started to grow quiet found of her.
"So we're planin' on stoppin' here next." Estaban said, showing Lucky a map. "I was hopen' you'd be up for a heist before ya left us?"
