"All right then, I'll stay quiet." Elias mumbled looking away from Felix, "Alright, but uhm why?" He then closed his mouth and was planning on keeping it shut for a while, after all he didn't want to find out what Felix would do. He just took a few steps back away from him and turned away looking over at the water.
Felix sighed loudly. "I'm trying to be nice, for once, and look where it's landing me." he grumbled, shaking his head as he drummed his fingers, trying to figure out what to do about all this.
"For once? I understand that pirates are made out to be cruel and mean and stuff? but why not be nice more of the time? Other than for once? I mean, that's just my opinion, so you don't have. .." He Elias trailed off remembering what he had been told only a few seconds before, "Never mind."
Felix rubbed his face with his hands, groaning quietly. "Why couldn't I have picked a quieter captive?" he asked himself. "And as for niceâĶI've treated you a hell of a lot better than most would have, so don't you start." he narrowed his eyes at Elias.
Elias sighed rolling his eyes, he shrugged a little then closed his eyes, trying to enjoy the breeze, "I'll be quiet if it'll make you happy? Hhm?" He chewed on his lower lip nervously. "I'm just nervously alright. I understand that you are upset, so if you want, I'll find my way back to the brig, or wherever you want me to be."
Felix shrugged. "I just need to think, and you yammering on about everything under the sun makes it difficult to do so." He replied, squinting at the sky for a moment before looking at Elias again.
"I fine, okay, I'll stop talking? And I'll let you think." Elias said moving away from him, and towards the books. He sighed shaking his head and opened the book he had been reading again, he should just stay quiet, after all, things could always get much much worse.
Felix stalked over to the railing, drumming his knuckles against it and shaking his head a little bit.
Ellias leaned his head against the back of one of the railings. He felt too tired and stressed, everything felt so wrong like his life was sort of over, yet he felt just a little bit hopeful. He glanced over at Felix and just studied him. He looks like he could just use a hug, or someone to talk too.
Felix hummed quietly to himself as he drummed his fingers. He wanted to figure this out. He didn't exactly want to send Elias back; he knew what a home like that was like. He really did.
Elias had just given up, he felt so tired of everything, and he just couldn't care less about what happened to him. Well, he cared a little, but not enough to worry or fight the captain anymore about it. He just wanted to get away from the world.
Felix kept trying to figure out what to do, humming faintly to himself. He didn't quite know what to do right now, in all honesty. He headed to his cabin for a few minutes, putting the envelope and letter carefully on his desk.
(hey, uhm, could I get a little more?)
(jgsdjfg yeah sorry!)
Elias watched Felix leave silentyly, his lips pursed. He looked around cautiously making sure no one was watching him, but it seemed as though the crew wasn't paying attention to him, in fact, he could hear loud laughter from beneath the deck. He then made his way over to one of the dinghys stepping ever so lightly so that no one could hear him. Then he began to loosen the ropes. He knew that if he got caught it would be back to the brig with no chance of being let out, but it was worth a shot. When he had been standing writing the note he had slipped a map in his pocket that charted a course to the nearest island. Now the only problem was to get there.
Felix came back up on deck after a few minutes, and looked around for Elias. He frowned when he realized that Elias wasn't where he had left him, and started moving around to try and find him. When he did spot Elias, he inhaled, leaping over to the rich boy. "And just what do you think you're doing?" he demanded.
Elias jumped dropping the rope he had been trying to loosen, "I uhm, I noticed that the rope here was getting too loose so I tighten it." He looked away trying not to look at Felix, "It's not like I was trying to escape." He laughed nervously tying to brush it off as a joke, "You must be crazy to think that I would do a thing like that."
Felix narrowed his eyes, grabbing Elias's wrist and holding him in place. "Loose, hmm?" he questioned. "And in what world does that mean you need to fuck around with my ship?" he obviously didn't believe the other man, and his eyes were narrowed in suspicion.
"The world where being helpful is actually a good thing?" Elias whimpered as he closed his eyes tightly, "I, uh, can you please, erm, let my wrist go? You're sort of hurting me. . ." He said softly, not even daring to open his eyes, "And I wasn't trying to do anything to your ship, if I was we would all be dead right about now. . ."
He loosened his hold, but didn't let go. "One of my men would have dealt with it, Elias." he growled. "Don't mess around where you are not needed."
"I would think that a helpful hand would be appreciated when your crew is not even around." Elias muttered wrenching his wrist away from Felix, "And I asked you to let go, not keep your death grip on me." He turned away from him, "Really, are you that suspicious of me?"
Felix nodded. "Yes, I am, because I know what I would do, were I a captive of pirates." he replied coldly. "Do I need to put you back in the brig with the rats, Elias? Because I will."
"Nope, not at all, I'm fine staying up here, away from the dinghys, away from your maps, away from everything. See?" Elias took a few big steps away from the dinghy and from the captain as well, "I am perfectly fine staying away from them, in fact, if I see any ropes that are too loose, I won't do anything. How's that sound?"
"That sounds just fine. If you see a loose rope, kindly let myself or my crew know. I doubt indeed that you are experienced with ropes to tie a good enough knot, and I do not want the knots slipping." Felix said coldly.
Elias sighed quietly, "All right, fair enough, I'm guessing you would like these back then." he pulled out the map he had swiped earlier, "Although the course you had charted would take awfully long, I had figured out one that would be a bit straighten, although maybe you had your own reasons for taking the long way around." He muttered the last bit, a bit embarrassed to have been caught.
