Something quiet is lurking on the lakebank.

In and out behind the rocks, dark splashes, soft noises.

Ajedrez has, by this point, somewhat recovered from her hangover. It wasn't terrible, in anycase, and even if she is still feeling mildly ill, she's twitchy. Get up and run and run and run, but for the sake of her head she's contenting herself with kicking a football around.

It isn't clear if she has noticed the noises yet.

Probably not.

Santi leaps out, after peeking, because look at what she's doing!

[didntseeit.livejournal.com]

She glances up, and smiles at him.

"Hey, Santi."

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

A real ball, a not-broken beautiful one. Look at that.

[didntseeit.livejournal.com]

"You okay?" She asks, resting a sneakered foot on the ball to stop it from moving.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He looks at her hopefully.

[didntseeit.livejournal.com]

She glances at him, then to the ball, and then gentle kicks it towards him.

Someone has far less of a hangover than others might, this evening. It's the sort of thing that comes from drinking rum on a regular basis, savvy?

In any case, given the aforementioned hangovers that might be the sorts of things as others could be perceiving as unwelcome complications... let's just say Jack Sparrow has enough of a sense of self-preservation to be making himself scarce around the bar this evening.

Which means, in other words, that the pirate's currently perched on the railing of the lower deck, leaning back comfortably against the support of the upper, and humming a soft sea song.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

This is something he hasn't explored yet. So he sets out across the water, feet barely brushing the surface.

Looking up, he tries to spot who's singing.

[pirate_jack]

"Last Easter in the morning fair
We was not far from land
We spied a mermaid sitting on a rock
With a comb and a glass in her hand, in her hand
With a comb and a glass in her hand--"

The movement below catches his attention. Jack breaks off there, looking down at the boy with interest.

"--you're no mermaid, lad."

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He laughs at that, a soft noise like water splashing on stone. Where he was on the water, suddenly there's nothing.

Where there was nothing on the deck beside Jack, suddenly there's Santi, standing there, bashful and helplessly curious. He's a strange looking man. Santi regards him seriously.

[pirate_jack]

Jack startles, coming bolt upright.

"Eeahh!"

Black eyes glitter with sudden curiosity. If he's disconcerted by the look of the boy's forehead, the grey pallor of his skin, Jack gives no sign of it.

"Now that there's a clever trick of yours, mate."

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He has the good grace to sound at least slightly apologetic, because it wasn't kind of him to sneak up.

Santi has never really seen people like this before he came to Milliways.

And there is something unmoving by the lakebank, a big ball of orange and black and white fur, apparently snoozing.

Catnaps are even better when you're a big cat.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He peeks out from behind a rock.

[fortunateking.livejournal.com]

Both of Tiger's ears twitch at the sound, but it appears...

... that he is still very much asleep.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He sneaks closer, twists down, and uses an old trick.

It's very difficult to sleep when someone is blowing in your ear.

[fortunateking.livejournal.com]

It is.

Tiger frowns in his sleep and stirs, eventually cracking one eye open.

Santi?

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He's too fluffy and snuggled not to curl up with. He drapes himself over Tiger's stomach and wraps his arms around him.

Allie had been looking for the flowers Rapunzel had mentioned put her to sleep, and she hadn't found any yet. But she was standing now, almost a little uneasily, like animals did; very, very still before they might scamper away.

Her face though betrayed something entirely different. A wariness that was broadened by two bright eyes of curiosity...and something that might almost resemble concern.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

Something(one) peeks out from behind the nearest rock.

Dark eyes, grey skin, red blood.

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

Her head tilted in the direction of the rock even before the head rose, but when it {he) appeared she straightened. It was so much that appeared, but he was (he sighed).

Allie's eyes looked at him straight, color suddenly darker, suddenly deeper, giving away only in the moment they widened as she gave a small gasp.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He straightens and gives her a worried look.

She doesn't have to be frightened.

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

She blinked and swallowed. Her ears had the words, even as other words of his whispered around him, other sounds screamed, his and not his but caused by him.

Her fingers rubbed together and she swallowed again, head tilting a little, eyes still wider than normal.

"Hi." Her voice trembled slightly and it was smaller than normal.

[ahogarse.livejournal.com]

He folds his arms, and looks at her hopefully.
