Up above the dimmed lower deck the Sun is shining bright and warm signaling the early afternoon. The slightly cold breeze blows across the deck of the ship bringing that salty taste and smell of the sea along with it. The african skinned man is standing up against the rails of the ship and simply gazing at the open and vast ocean with his hands clasped behind his back. A deep breath of air is all it takes to soothe his heart and calm his mind, ah yes, it's the smell of the sea the wind on his cheeks and hair, the feel of the wooden ship under his bare feed, it's the little things that bring joy to Rangi and he wouldn't want to be anything else but a pirate, to sail the seas and experience adventure.
"Just sleep with her already!"
The sudden joking voice startled Rangi slightly as he opened his eyes to look at the woman that came to stand beside him. Yellow dressed in a fresh kimono with her waist long midnight hair tired up in a messy bun showing off the elegant skin on her neck. Her grey mischevous eyes look up at him as she leans on the rail with her elbows before supporting her chin in to her uninjured opened palm.
Rangi simply chuckled at her comment, his deep throaty voice leaking out like a poison.
"I would If I could but I would drown, you know the Ocean is a harsh mistress"
The woman laughed her shoulders shaking from the giggles. Rangi's eyes then traveled to her left hand that is wrapped up in bandages or cloths cause they ran out of bandages a few months back when Orange almost died from that gun shot. Frowning he said "Do you think it will heal up?"
Yellow just shrugged her shoulders "If not then you can always assign Red as my personal guardian" She smirked and pointed over her shoulder to the buff Turkish man with the red tattoos all over his chest that is standing behind the rudder of the ship steering the Colorful Siren in to calm waters.
Rangi looks over his shoulder to look at his crew. Orange and Pink are playing some sort of card game on a crate and Pink is obviously winning cause Orange keeps yelling in disbelief. Up on the mass in the lookout tower, Blue is keeping an eye out. Green is probably in the lower deck doing something smart. Violet and Purple are just bickering about something probably Purple stole one of Violet's shirts. Ah...sisters.
"You know...there is someone else on this ship in need of your attention"
Yellow's voice snapped Rangi out of it and he brought his goldenrod gaze back on the woman standing next to him "Huh? Who? Red?" He asked confused, there is no one else on this ship that is injured...right?
Yellow frowned and shook her head "No...the injured woman lying in the infirmary"
Rangi narrowed his eyes "You brought her she is your responsibility"
"Oh common! Don't be such a grouch! Go and greet her, at least welcome her on board you are the captain after all."
Rangi let out a loud groan and ran his right palm through his messy black hair "You are not gonna drop this are you?"
"Nope so the sooner you do it the sooner I'll leave you alone"
The tanned man let out another groan this time sounding like a child when its mother tells him to do something he doesn't want to. "Fine...but you know that you are on medicine duty when she's better right?"
Yellow just waved her good hand in a dismissive manner "Yeah, yeah, I'll fetch you your medicine when we dock"
With that, Rangi pushed himself off the railing and slowly made his way towards the stairs that lead down to the lower decks. His bare feet making little to no sound as he walks on the wooden floors but the hem of his long baggy pants drag behind him as he walks. His chest is bare showing many of his proud scars that he got during the many battles that he has fought in as well as the defined muscles on his abdomen, arms and chest, around his neck is a red fur scarf and strapped on to both sides of his hip are swords that clank when they hit against his thighs. His shoulder length black hair is free to be wild and messy on his head, some strands overlapping and some sticking out like he just got out of bed. Yup, he never combs.
As he makes his way to the room he feels his heart rate pick up as if he is nervous. Wait...why is he nervous all of a sudden?! Rangi has been with many women, in some towns he was even chased out for sleeping with too many of them and he has made a name for himself as the Swahili Seductor. Maybe it's just the air in the lower levels.
Closing in on the room he stops in front of it and just stands there, with his hand on the handle as if he just turned in to a sculpture. Well...there is no denying her beauty I mean this is the first time Rangi has seen such fair and white skin, it's like she's made of pearls and the slightest of touches would break her. Oh common Rangi! Be a man! Open that dam door and stop over thinking everything!
"Hold up!"
The sudden sound of footsteps startled Rangi and he quickly turned to face Yellow running towards him with a tray of food on it. "Here give her this I forgot to give her her breakfast" She chuckled. Rangi took the tray and turned to once again stare at the door "Well...what's the matter? Can't go in?"
"I will don't rush me!"
He yelled back and in pure annoyance pulled the door harsh before loudly stepping in and slamming the door. A low chuckle is heard from the other side as Yellow skips away.
Letting out a sigh to calm his temper, Rangi takes in a breath of air and turns on his heels to face the figure sleeping on the bed that must be looking at him with shock and fright by the way he entered in the room, as if he is going to slit her throat.
"Um...here, you must be hungry"
He walked over to her and will put the tray on her belly. There is some cooked beef, a glass of ale and some cheese neatly put together with just a fork as a eating utensil.
Rangi pulled up a chair and sat backwards on it like some kind of rebel putting his arms on the support of the chair before supporting his head on top of them. "So...um...you feeling better?"
