for @theseourbodiesrp   //   IZZY

She's no stranger to nightmares - they're more and more common the longer it takes to find her parents. She's not even sure if she will find them anymore, or if she even wants to. They might be dead when she gets there.

She has a nightmare about the night she left, but the alleys she'd ran through then don't end now. It's a labrinyth of dirt and cobblestone and she finds nothing but blood on the ground a stray arm or leg, too familiar, until all she can see is bodies.

When she wakes up, she runs to a little private spot, quiet as she can, and has herself a solid cry, shaking and hyperventilating until she can manage to breathe again, and by that point, she's terrified to be alone, so she runs over to Izzy's room.

She opens the door quiet, but it's a bad idea to surprise a guy like Izzy while she's asleep, so she makes sure to jump, make the floorboards squeak under her weight before she moves over, curling up into the tiniest ball at the side of his bed like a little dog, scared that he might kick her out, trying not to sniffle and failing miserably, but she doesn't really care that much right now.

" I'm cold, fuck off, "   She mumbles into the silent night, her voice heavy with tears, sniffling. She didn't need to explain. She's so strong and tough and not a fucking baby she doesn't cry and have nightmares and run to a guy whose not even her dad or anything for help.

IZZY, I GUESS​

He laughs, genuinely amused. He takes his hand off his knife. Holds both of his, gloved and ungloved, up, at chest level. Showing he wasn’t a threat. To her.

“I know, dearheart. Such a good little one,” he said, keeping his voice warm and even. He reached his gloved hand out to her. “I appreciate you, Iz. Looking out for those you don’t even know. And then, when you learn who I am, you are… brave. Didn’t have to be nice to me, but did it anyway.” And he smiles, warm and sweet, all for her. For this tiny scrap of humanity who called herself Izzy.

He steps back, hand still out to her. But not wanting to crowd her. Wanted to give her an put, because his next question was big. Monumental.

“What would you say if I told you I’m on the lookout for…” what was it that Stede called his boy? A scribe? But this child wouldn’t know how to read or write. He considers for a moment, hand still out to her. And the the word occurs to him, and his smile is warm and sweet. A rare sight on his face. “An apprentice? I’d teach you all my skills, and you’d serve me in return. What do you think, poppet? Is that agreeable?”

She squints, suspicious at how nice he's being, particularly when all she's heard about this guy is that he's ruthless, and not someone to mess with. She takes a step back, staying distant, but not going too far - for some reason, she feels like if she steps too far, she oughta just start running.

" . . . Didn't say you could call me Iz, "   She mumbles, though he's got a point with all the sweet talk. Tough as she is, she hadn't really let go of all the shit her momma taught her - one good turn deserves another and all that, be nice where you can.

" 'M not a fuckin' servant, "   She bites, harsh, first of all to make sure he knows it, and second of all to make sure he knows her. She ain't no summer flower, she's a bitey little street kid and she knows it - if he can't deal with that then she can't deal with him.

Though the offer doesn't seem too bad, as long as he's not some kind of fucking creep.

" What'd I be doin'? "   She offers, still squinting suspiciously, mostly at his outstretched hand, but her eyes move about, flighty, to his knife, to the man following them who - oh. Oh, wait a second.

“ We gotta - "   She abruptly takes his hand only to pull him to the side just as a gunshot rings out through the alley that the guy trailing them had ducked into. Someone screams, people start scattering. Little Izzy starts tugging on Izzy's hand encouraging him to move, though she's far too tiny to budge him at all.   " - go. This way, I know where to go! "

[patchworkpoett]

. . . FUCK

He clocked her taking things off the man behind him, and laughs. His hand drifts to the handle of his knife; the warning isn’t for her, though. For everyone around them, including the man she’d pickpocketed.

“Really? That’s my name, too,” he almost purrs at her. “My name’s Izzy Hands, poppet. D'ya know it?” His eyes glint, but not at her. This child is under his protection from this moment, and everyone around them knows it when he says his name. Whether she comes to the ship or no.

Izzy Hands. Basilica Hands. Everyone knows him, especially around here. Isabel immediately tenses up, preparing to either run or bite, but she doesn't. She's used to being treated like bottom of the barrel, used to finding a way to get around that shit, too.

" I helped you, "   she says immediately, defensive. Running ain't gonna cut it, and she knows she can't win in a fight, so she'll be smart and talk her way out, that's the best chance she's got.   " I ain't gonna get into no shit, mister, I'm just tryin' to do you a favor, yeah? Bein' nice, but I don't gotta be. "

" Yeah. Also cause I stole this from 'em, "   She easily hands over a little paper which has some words that may or may not be important, she's not sure, but it's the only paper the guy had on him. She neglects to mention the gold in her pocket that she'd stolen as well.   " He was followin' you while I was followin' him. "

Yeah, this guy is way too dangerous to use as a mark, but the guy behind him? Focused and stupid enough that he hadn't noticed Isabel stealin' all his junk. Probably will soon, though.

" Name's Isabel. Some people call me Izzy or Iz, but you're not allowed yet. I can show you a shortcut if ya wanna lose 'em. "

MISS LAFAYETTE​

Ysabella is frail - always has been. That’s why when raids happen, she’s usually in the planning room, not in on the action.

Even so, she’s bloody good with a knife, and light on her feet. Her delicate frame makes her easy to be underestimated, and that’s when she strikes.

After Vin covers her and gets knocked in the jaw, he doesn’t seem to notice the hidden soldier behind the mast, about to throw a sharp spear right into his neck. She doubts she would notice with a blow like that.

“Get down!” She kicks Vin’s upper back with enough force to hurt, but it works well enough because the spear is - not - in his neck, and she thinks that’s a win.

The soldier pales after being caught, and backs away, but a well placed knife to the shoulder seems to incapacitate him since he passed out in fear.

She reaches out her hand for Vin to grasp. 

“I’d say I’m sorry, but considering you’re not bleeding out, I’m quite satisfied.”

" Nice kick, "   Vin replies, a little bit of a groan in his voice. He's too damn old to be getting his spine kicked in, but hey, it's certainly better than being stuck between the deck and the spear currently embedded there. His head is spinning a little bit from the hit to the jaw, but it's a familiar sort of dizziness, he can handle it.

He takes her hand to boost himself up - he hadn't fallen entirely to the ground, only taken a knee, but still. Most of the soldiers in this section of the ship appear to be down and out, excepting one person he sees aiming a rifle in their direction. He easily pulls Ysabella to spin both of them behind the mast as the bullet fires, hitting the deck behind them. But by the time he's pulled out his flintlock and spun around the other side of the mast to to aim, someone else has dispatched him.

" You're usually not out here, are you? "     No more danger, Vin moves forward to help another crewmate by kicking the back of the head of someone trying to get off the ground, beginning the process of hogtying him. " What's got you in on the raid? "

[patchworkpoett]

vin is so pretty and beautiful and kind and smart and he still doesn't have a partner. how dare

[patchworkpoett]

pirates!! for @ysabellasweb

The raids get sort of mundane, after a while. Rhythmic. Find a ship, get on the ship, kill everyone who fights back, tie up the rest, take the loot go back home. Same thing over and over.

Swinging his sword around to impale a navy soldier who was just about to impale someone else on Vin's crew - Miss Ysabella - is nothing more than routine at this point.

" Watch your back, Miss Lafayette - " Vin says, promptly getting hit in the jaw with the butt of a rifle. Fuck. He twists to kick them in the stomach, sending the soldier overboard before he can hit him again. Ow.
