[color=a2d39c][b]"A-alright then."[/b][/color] Amelia sighed, calmed by the assurance of an escape route. She deeply hoped that the situation would not call for that.

[b]"Aye Cap'n."[/b] Daniel responded, shifting to barely stand at attention. It was so unnatural for a woman to be captain. Not as if they couldn't be, but rather it was a rare business to find such a soft creature in. It also surprised him as to how bold this... swabby was. On either vessel Daniel had been on before, the man would have bit his tongue after reporting to his captain. He did think the scruffy man's suggestion to be a good one though. If they were in fact in such a rush to find all the pieces, having the extra boat to haul across the sea was no help save for the coin gained at it's disposal. Daniel thought many things of this impending encounter. What concerned him most was that the Spanish ship was at a distance that the sails should be trimmed so that the two boats did not collide. The Lady Sophia as it were, did not look as if it was slowing down at all. 

Daniel stood straighter in an attempt to get into character as Quartermaster. [b]"Cap'n, their sails..."[/b] he breathed, leaning close enough to her that he could smell the salt mix with her sweat. He did not want the crew to hear his words, even if they may suspect what he was thinking. If she was so confident he would not say another word of the matter but he felt that he should bring it up.

The Lady Sophia continued to charge, full speed ahead and right towards them.
