By some stroke of luck, Bond had managed to succeed in that stake out job without much stumbling. By the time he'd been found out, it was too late for the group to back out and even after their amateur attempt at getting rid of him, James has easily got his evidence and got out of there. There wasn't any killing, which he supposes was a good thing

At first it appears as if he hadn't spotted her, but it's more likely that he's just taking his time adjusting a few totally important ropes and the like, but by the time James is turning towards her, he's all small smiles and casual ease as he steps towards the edge and offers out a hand. The boat is nice and low and there's thankfully not much of a gap between the dock and boat. Still enough for some to fall through though. Especially for those as small as Lisbeth.
"Welcome aboard."

She has to hand it to him that he blends in so well wherever he goes, he's good like that, it's easy for him to slip into the bundled up Sweds or the pleasure boating yachting group. That's the thing about spies, they should be able to blend in, if they didn't they would probably have a bit of a problem. Finishing off her cigarette, she flicks it away and reaches out for his hand.
She steps over the small gap and on to the boat.

In fact, speaking of alcohol...
"Did you want a beer? Or wine? I've brought plenty. And water, if you'd rather." A jerk of his head towards the little cabin door in the middle of the yacht, motioned to while he sets about getting the vessel ready for it's voyage, ropes and sails fluttering and flapping.

Apparently in more ways then one. Damn son.
"Worth it?" When is it ever worth it to get shot? He might have different priorities then her, different definitions of what worth it is. She doesn't say much after that, though she doe take another look at him. He's a nice looking gorilla. She gives a slight shake of her head.

"Mm," is his only response to that, finishing off his beer and flopping backwards, an arm behind his head while offering a blank stare skywards. Shooting James is never a good idea anyways. He's like the Hulk in the fact that it just makes him angrier, more violent and more likely to kill for his own safety. It's all that testosterone, like sharks who just go crazy vicious when the hormone starts pumping. He can't help if he seems to have an excessive amount of the stuff.
"You been on the receiving end of many guns?"

He was built in a lab somewhere, true story. Full of sex and muscles and charm. Dorky, socially awkward engineers and scientists gave him all the powers they wished they had and thus James Bond was born. The orphan story is just so the ladies panties get wetter quicker. Every single lady on the face of the earth thinks they can save James Bond. Except Lisbeth, who is thinking that if she pushes him over board sharks might eat him. No, the sharks think that they can save James Bond. Damn sharks. So unreliable.
"Do there need to be money?"

James peers into his empty beer, offering up a negative grunt that might be something like a 'no' to her question, then shifts to his feet and moves the short distance towards the shaded beer stash to get both of them a new one. See, he is a good boy sometimes.

"Can we get off and explore the island?" Which sounds more romantic then she meant it. Not really explore, but maybe a walk around which sounds pretty nice. Then again, after a few more beers almost anything would sound pretty nice.

Turning his focus on a few tweaks to the sails and letting the boat lurch towards it's new destination, he nods vaguely towards her, "Can't see why not. We can swim over to it."

"Do you know how to swim?"

Once all the navigation has been sorted, he returns back to their spot, sitting beside her and keeping an eye out of their arrival. It shouldn't be long before they get there, even at the casual speed the breeze is carrying them at.

That cracks her up, and she does a little coughing shake that might be misconstrued as a fish out of water having a seizure. "Gods don't bleed."

Whether it's the fact she's laughing, or the fact she does her little shaking act, James can't help but be amused, propping himself up on an elbow as he puffs out his chest like some dominant... gorilla... "Neither do I."
Reply
She had calmed down a little bit but when he puffs out his chest like that she has to start laughing all over again. Or whatever you would call that horrible noise that comes out of her while she smiles. "Liar."

He's like Hercules only more killing and less Greek. But you know, other than that...

Lisbeth would be pleased to know he feels that way, because when she leans back she has a thin cigarette case that she flips open and takes out one of those finely rolled joints she does. It's got a smell, a distinct smell. She'll let him do the first hit, because she is a fine lady.

He's curious as to what she's been rifling about for anyway, interest perked up like a dogs as he unconsciously leans forward just slightly, trying to get a look in before she's even opened the case. Not that he really needed to, because even with all the sea air and cigarette smoke, it's not long before a scent drifts his way.
"Hnn. You're sharing?" Suddenly he has no interest in savouring his current cigarette, finishing it off in a few quick puffs then licking his fingertips and crushing out the smoking remnants.
Reply
Looking up at him she nods and shuts the case with a snap, setting it aside she offers the joint to him. Sometime she can just tell, there is a certain look the way people get and she just knows it's going to be an okay thing to do. It's not crack, it's not heroin, there are some countries in Europe that have made it pretty much okay. Out of all the things in the world he has to fight against, this really shouldn't be one of them.

"I knew you cared," he mumbles appreciatively, withdrawing his lighter, joint between his lips and toking slowly. A moment to savour, breath held, then he's gradually exhaling while passing over. "You're alright."
