The Commodore is in Milliways again. It's been a while. Come say hi.

Erin, being a history geek, becomes fascinated by Norrington. She's seen quite a few people like him around the bar but has not had the opportunity to speak to one.

Norrington notices the attention on him after a moment, and turns to her with a polite smile and a bow.

Erin is *good* at concealing her fangirlish glee. "Hello, sir. How are you doing today?"

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"Good evening, madam. I'm well. And yourself?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"I could be better. But I've been saying that all week."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can help with?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_driscoll/]

"No. It's just some personal problems I need to deal with. My name is Erin Driscoll, by the way."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"James Norrington." He bows again.

"Mr. Norrington, I'm very fascinated by your outfit. Is this a costume or is this from your actual wardrobe?"

Commodore Norrington! *A rather disheveled Alanna wanders over with a smirk.* I feel as though I haven't seen you in ages. How are you?

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

He turns to bow to her, raising an amused eyebrow when he notices her condition.

"I've been well. And you?"

[the_lioness]

Never better. *Alanna finishes her water and leans against the bar.* You did not mention just how blue the water can be in the midday sun. I do believe I could see straight to the bottom once or twice. *She smirks.*

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

He tenses barely perceptibly.

"You returned to my world with Captain Sparrow, then?"

[the_lioness]

I did. *She examines her nails.* And not entirely of my own accord, but I quite enjoyed my stay. *Shrugging, she looks him in the eye.* Jack decided I needed a vacation. He was not entirely wrong.

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"He..." Norrington stares at her for a moment, then starts to laugh. "Yes, that sounds like him. I take it you don't wish to make a complaint?"

[the_lioness]

*Alanna grins, relieved that the Commodore has yet to threaten Jack with the gallows. Again.* No, no complaint, save only that he did not take me to see Port Royal. However, I certainly understand why.

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

Norrington frowns slightly.

"Yes. Port Royal is not a place for a woman of any respectability. And I doubt Captain Sparrow alone could have protected you - you would have had difficulty protecting yourself, sword or no."

Gillette inna bar, and he has not seen his commodore in quite some time. He cautiously approaches. "Good evening, sir."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

Norrington nods to him courteously.

"Good evening, Lieutenant."

[OOC: Not a problem; I'll have to deal with the big "24" plot going down soon.]

Gillette isn't quite sure what to do. "I've run into Jack Sparrow," he says dryly. "He was a scoundrel, as usual, but we managed to be surprisingly civil to each other. He told me he's had similar encounters with you."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"It's the best way, in this place", Norrington agrees. "The rules bar us from trying to apprehend him, so we may as well behave with some civility."

[acerbic-peach.livejournal.com]

"Yes, well." Gillette frowns. "He wasn't any less irritating than usual. If he'd desist in asking such personal questions, I'd be inclined to tolerate him more."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"If you find you cannot tolerate him, Lieutenant, I can only suggest you avoid him while in this place. To avoid any temptation to break the rules, you understand."

[acerbic-peach.livejournal.com]

"I never said I couldn't tolerate him," says Gillette defensively. "I only wish he'd stop asking me about sensitive matters. Even if I needn't answer, it's still unforgivably rude of him."

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

"Well, he never claimed to be a gentleman."
