Peck is in for a real surprise....



Peck: *wandering around the Dauntless slightly confused. He continiously scan around and then somehow finds himself on the deck*

Lucas: *while he would normally not be doing such a thing, there he is on the deck, with a mop in his hands as he cleans the boards. His back is to Peck as he sweeps to and fro*

Peck: *lifting his head he finally notices Lucas and begins to blush. Tip toeing his way over to Lucas, he slips a hand in his pocket fidgetting. Then he stops behind Lucas before tapping him on the shoulder gently* Erm, 'cuse me miss...

Lucas: *at first, he was going to turn around, but upon hearing the voice of the owner--branded into memory thanks to a certain past event--the one thing he did was freeze on the spot and fervently pray that whomever was behind him was NOT who he thought he'd identified it as*

Peck: *pulling out a small bouquet of flowers, he turns his head, his cheek still dusting a hint of pink. he fidgets on the spot for a moment before lifting his head his head again to look at Lucas* 'cuse me, but... I've finally found you.

Lucas: *straightening up, the youth is definitely taller than the last time Peck saw him. Also...* Oh really. *the voice is clearly male this time around and as he turns around to look over his shoulder at the intruder, Lucas pins Peck down with a flat stare* I didn't think I was lost in the first place.

Peck: *surprised, he takes a step back and drops the bouquet of flowers* But... where is she? *nervously he stares back at Lucas, and then shakes his head* I could have sworn she was 'ere!

Lucas: *resting his arm on the tip of the mop, he turned around fully, his gaze deadpan this time* She who?

Peck: She... she looked juss like you! *his eyes widen sadly* But it took me forever to get 'ere and juss when I thought... *he slips a hand into his pocket, frowning* Is she missing?

Lucas: *doesn't know why Peck keeps on putting his hand into his pocket, but notes it for now as he replies to him, calmly* She looked like me... my twin sister?

Peck: Maybe... she was my 'rue lurve. *pulling his hand from his pocket he pulls out a small box and opens it to reveal a simple gold ring* ...I wanted to ask for 'er 'and in bein' my baby. *pouting* she ran away from me... didn't she?

Lucas: *silence* She went home. *he doesn't really want to string Peck along, but that expression of his... Lucas isn't a cold-hearted person in the first place* The man she loved came to get her with my consent.

Peck: *his eyes narrow, annoyed. He closes the box.* Who is this man?

Lucas: Her fiance. *says this with as genuine a tone as possible* You'll have little chance to find them here. They went back to the past where they belong.

Peck: *her voice strains in response* B-back to the past?! But I... *hanging his head* But she...*turning away from Lucas he walks over to the side of the deck and chucks the ring box over board* Grrrr! How could she do this to me?! I.... *with his hands dripping the rail* ...

Lucas: *following Peck with his eyes, there is really little he can do since he's back to normal instead of being in that...shape* She was unhappy here. Came to the ship in a fury at being some place she obviously didn't belong. It doesn't have anything to do with you.

Peck: *turning back to Lucas, his eyes firmly staring at him* How can you even say that? She never even... *sniffling* But I cared about!

Lucas: Never even what?

Peck: *sniffling* What do you care! You didn't even know 'ow I felt 'bout 'er..!!!!

Lucas: *turning back to the mopping, going over the place he messed up when Peck arrived* I used to feel for someone that didn't feel a thing for me. It still hurts when I think about it, y'know?

Peck: O-Oh... I'm sorry then! But... I.. *smiling sadly* I really lurved your sister....

Lucas: Really? *pulling the mop off the board, he wrings the water out of it over the railing before dipping it into the bucket and continuing his cleaning* I think that must have flattered her, even if she didn't return the feelings. *glancing up, he raises a brow in curiosity* Just so I know, it wasn't just for her sailor's mouth, was it?

Peck: *still smiling sadly* It was more than juss 'er sailor's mouth. She was elequent, smart, and more of a woman then I think any man could've 'andled. It was lurve at first sight...

Lucas: Hmm... *shows an amused half-smile* Sounds different than what I know about her.

Peck: In any case.... I 'uppose I should leave ya be, sir. Sorry to 'rouble you.... *removing his bandana off his head he bows to Lucas* thanks fer lettin' me know... long as she's 'appy I guess...

Lucas: S'fine. *he nods minimally to Peck, glad that he won't have to lie anymore to him* Hope you'll find someone else soon. There're tons of available ladies at Budehuc when you're done piecing your heart back together.

Peck: ...I don't think I'll be piecing it back together any time soon, sir. *striaghtening up he puts his bandana back on his head, frowning* She was one of a kind...

Lucas: *one of a kind indeed...* Yeah, I don't doubt that. *his attention seems far away for a moment before he turns back to Peck with a simple smile* Still, can't keep on looking at the past. You can't move forward that way.

Peck: *smiling faintly* I guess so... heh, thanks. *smiling a little more brightly* ...good day to ye, sir...?

Lucas: Lucas. *he presents his hand, finally* Lucas En Kuldes. And you are...?

Peck: *looking at Lucas' hand, smirking somewhat confidently before clasping his hand to Lucas' shaking it with a firm grip* Peck! I'm Peck the Scallywag! Assistant to the Pirate King and Queen!

Lucas: *returns the shake just as firmly* A pirate then. Nice to make your acquaintance, Peck.

Peck: *grinning from ear to ear* Likewise, Sir Lucas. *letting go of his hand* Which reminds me, I probably should get back into service! Lady Kika probably smells quite awful without me their to give her a nice sponge bath! *frets* I should go!

Lucas: *isn't going to laugh since he feels a bit sorry for Kika, considering...* All right. Have a safe trip then.

Peck: I also... better not get lost this time either! Last time I got attacked by rock! *pouting, he then shakes his head* Any ways, ta ta! *turning on his heels he makes his way off the deck of the ship*

Lucas: Goodbye. *he waves at the back of Peck, watching him disappear off the deck of the Dauntless before his eyes drift to where Peck threw that ring. Very briefly, he considers fishing it up, but almost immediately shakes his head, just going back to enjoying a bit of manual work*
