Vivienne listened to the young girl's response, and a look of sympathy appeared on her beautiful, coy-looking face. The pirate is more surprised at this girl's courage, and the last thing she wanted, was to make tensions go higher. So she was quite impressed with her wit. Speaking of this said-wit, Abigail willingly turned around to face the woman, and Vivienne allowed the girl to do so, but still kept the silver blade at her neck. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, miss Abigail", she lowly, casually, and softly responded in confirmation. Salutations to her, then. 

"It's quite alright, love. I've been through plenty. You're lucky, though; the victims always live in the end", Vivienne proudly said with a smirk, keeping her voice at a whispering level, while feeling and watching her equipment go back into place. "Easy on the goods", she softly reminded her to make sure everything was on correctly. The pirate had to admit that she felt a bit of fondness for the girl before her, and she did feel a tad bit regretful to put her in such a position. But she was her ticket to get out of the hands of authority right now, so she kept up the act in this very dangerous game. 

Abigail was only at least five-foot five or so, and the task at hand wasn't hard. The pirate perked her eyes up in a challenging way with a coy smirk towards the English, before turning her attention back to the girl before her, who seems to marvel her rescuer's status. "Sticks and stones", she simply said to confirm her curiosity with that grin again. "Right now, I'm better off making survival than bloodshed", Vivienne reminded her, not too interested to share her life in fame. Her grin faltered and her eyes rolled at Norrington's question, making her turn Abigail around to face the 'red coats' again. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd love to stick around and chat, but I have some business to attend to!", the brunette announced as she walked backwards slowly, with Abigail still in her grip. Suddenly, she let her go, pushing her back to them, before grabbing a rope behind her that was tied to a tall gantry. Kicking a belaying pin nearby, and allowing a counterweight to fall, she was being lifted up to the top of the structure.
