Lucky studied the map, a flicker of something like reluctance passing over her face. Her plan had been to leave, let them get on with their lives, but now….she almost didn't want to. She'd made a promise though, and she was aware just how much trouble she brought along. "What kinda heist ya thinkin'?"
"Awhile back I got word they had somethin' worth tones of gold. Though it'd be fun to steal it nd' sell it." Estaban studied the map while he spoke, trying to figure out the best path. From where they were now it'd be a days sailing, and that's if they didn't run into any trouble.
A grin made it's way onto Lucky's face, and she looked up at Estaban. While she might have been wary around him at first, she'd definitely warmed up to him. "Ya thought right. Sure ya want my help?"
"Of course. You're like a lucky charm at this point." Estaban winked jokingly and rolled up the map. "Besides, I wouldn't want my favorite female pirate missin' out on this."
Lucky laughed, shaking her head. "Ain't that sweet." She joked, nudging him with her shoulder. "Y'now, puttin' aside the fact that there ain't too many of those."
Estaban smiled, he liked it when she laughed. "If there are any out there. Never met one besides you really. I guess I had the same superstition as everyone else?" He laughed at himself.
"You're the one who brought me aboard." Lucky pointed out with a grin, crossing her arms over her chest. "Somethin' up in that head o' yours musta thought it'd be an okay idea. You ain't met any woman pirates 'cause they're all pretendin' t' be men."
Estaban opened his mouth to respond, but a thought cut him off. He looked at Lucky for a few silent moments, looking like a total idiot.
"I never thought of that." He said at last, still seeming to be thinking.
Lucky's laugh was light, eyes crinkling at the corners. "That's kinda the point, Estaban. T' keep from being found out."
"Well its down right smart. How'd you know? Did ya disguise yourself once?" Estaban raised an eyebrow, genuinely wanting to know.
Lucky rubbed the back of her neck, shrugging a shoulder. "I've had to a couple o' times, t' get place t' place. I know a few other women who've done it as well."
"That is risky, smart, but risky." Estaban shook his head with a laugh.
"So, how do we wanna go about this heist?" He pulled out another map, this one of the town they'd be in. "Cuz' its right in the middle o' town." He pointed to the spot on the map. A frown on his face.
"Tha' presents a problem or two." Lucky mused, tugging a hand through her hair as she leaned over the map. She chewed her bottom lip as she thought, searching her mind for any ideas.
"There's always getting throw in jail, there's on right next to the place." Rahpeal said as he walked in on the two leaning over a map. "Then y'all could wait for night fall?" Rahpeal had the best English on the entire ship, though sometimes he'd 'talk like a pirate' just for kicks.
Lucky looked up, head tilted as she ran through the idea. "No' bad. We'd have t' be careful, 'specially with the gettin' arrested part." She turn her gaze to Estaban, raising an eyebrow.
Estaban groaned, he wasn't found of getting arrested. "Yea' sure we could try that." He thought of ways that they could get out after getting thrown in. "How good are your subduction skills?" He asked and turned to Lucky.
"Such a charmin' question." Lucky quipped sarcastically, placing her hands on her hips. "Decent. Depends on wha' I'm wearin', and the man."
"Hmm, we can get ya a dress." Estaban took a moment to think, he couldn't image Lucky in a dress, it almost made him laugh. "Nd' I'm sure most guards are easy. You'll be fin'. "
Lucky made a face, before nodding her head to the side in admittance. "They really are." She reached up, tapping her scar thoughtfully. "I'll need t' cover this…got it."
Estaban had forgotten about her scar, mist of the time he didn't even realize it. "Right. That'd probably be smart." He looked back at the map. "So we'll get ya all done up, I'll get arrested-" he stopped short, thinking that this plan was really stupid.
"A brilliant plan." Lucky said with a snort, shaking her head. It was a horrible plan, and everyone knew it. It'd be fun, at least. "Kinda reminds me o' one o' those plans ya hear abou' in stories."
(Plot twist, this is a story. Dun dun dun! Okay I'll butt out now sorry. Lol. Also sorry its kinda short.)
Estaban shook his head with a laugh, "lets hope its brilliant enough to work. "Do they work out in the stories?"
Lucky tilted her head as she thought. "Sometimes. Other times, they go way wrong. But-" She added, before he could say anything. "-somehow, things end up a'ight."
Estabon sighed, "so in other words, we have a chance?" He smiled to cover up the sarcasm. "Better get our plan straight if we do wanna live."
Lucky rolled her eyes, keeping one hand on her hip and letting the other drop. "We got a chance, yeah. A'ight, let's flesh this plan out a bit."
