                   You pause, catching your reflection in the window. White was visibly reaching up your neck from under the collar. You swiftly wrap a bandana around your neck, hiding the white. 'Cold?' Corasan's notepad inquires. "A little," You lie. He puts his coat over your shoulders you blink at the black feathers, which held the faint scent of smoke. You look over as he calmly puts his hands in his pants pockets. His eyes are trained on the stars above. You shyly step closer to him as the gate came into view. He glances at you, a small smile on his lips.
                     "___, it's about time," Mitch says, opening the gate. "Don't give me that, you know I have great timing," You shoot back. He smirks, "Yeah, Ms.Ima-Come-Flying-In-Topless," He snorts. Corasan looks over at you with raised eyebrows. You blush heavily, "It was a wardrobe malfunction! And I might have been a little drunk," You mutter. Mitch grins, "And there was that time you blew up a water tower just to make an entrance to tell everyone you were looking for your gloves, though you were shirtless that time as well," He adds. "Also drunk that time," You say, glancing at Corasan with a blush. "And what about that time in Char Town-" "Shut up!" You gasp, covering his mouth. He pulls away, chuckling at your reaction before he suddenly turns to Corasan.
                  "So, what's your name?" He asks. "His name is Corasan, he doesn't talk," You tell Mitch. He gives Corasan a skeptical look. "Alright then, lets get going," He says, leading the way down a dark forest path. You grow silent, listening to the crickets. After a while, Mitch looks back at you. "By the way did you ever find a doctor?" He asks. You pause, "Not yet," You admit. He shifts seeming a bit concerned, "You are still looking right?" He asks.  "Where's Decker Gima?" You say, changing the subject.
                   He frowns a bit, "Their hideout is an old tavern beside the cliff," he answers, gesturing to the cliffhanger. "So, how do you plan on doing this? We're not gonna have a repeat of the Fin town incident are we?" He questions you pause, considering that, until Corasan scribbles in his notepad. You lean over to look at his suggestion. 'Draw them out?' He ponders. "That is better than the Fin Town idea," You comment. "So you were considering that," Mitch growls.
                    "Of course I was! Do you remember how well that worked for me? Three bounties in one bar! All mine," You say with a grin. He rolls his eyes, "And one pissed off commander," He adds. "Oh! Yeah! What was his name?" You ask. "I think it was Rocinante?" He tries to remember. "Well, he was pretty cute.... Though he was scowling at me after that," You muse. You were trying to remember his face but it came up as a blur. "That was a long time ago... How do you remember half of it?" You ask Mitch.
                   "Because everything you did was outlandish and crazy! How could I not remember?" He points out. "Though you seem to be mellow now, or could it be the company you keep?" He adds. You shrug, "Actually, I've just kinda accepted things," You tell him. He stops in his tracks and you pause. "You mean..." He trails off as you continue walking. "It's fine, I'm at peace with it," You say, not looking back. Mitch falls into a grave silence. You hear Corasan scribbling his notepad. "Don't worry about it Cora, it's nothing," You say, already guessing what he was going to ask.
                     He touches your arm, making you look at him. You meet his gaze and smile a bit. "Really Cora, you're too sweet," You murmur, touching his hand for a moment before looking over to see the lights from the tavern. You stop, checking your pockets. "I don't have anything draw them out... Mitch?" You prompt. The marine does the same before shaking his head. You both look at Corasan who holds up his lighter.
                    "Instead of drawing them out, how about we just blow the place up?" You ask, nodding to the large kegs of sake that sat against the building. "Kind of a waist isn't it?" Mitch questions. You give him a look. "Fine! We're going with Fin Town!" You growl, handing Corasan his coat. "Oh geez," Mitch sighs as you slip on your gauntlet. "Too bad there's no cute commander to get mad at me this time around," You joke. He glowers at you and you chuckle. "You take the back, Cora, you stay in the front... I don't want you falling over the cliff again," You tell them, as you readjust your boots.
                      You straighten up, rolling your shoulders. "Alright, lets get started," You tell them. You dart up the side of the building and to the roof. You turn to the edge as Mitch tosses up a barrel of sake. You catch it and toss it up as high as you could. It begins to fall back down so you leap up, giving it a spinning kick through the roof, giving you a giant hole to hop through. You land with a bow. "Thank you for your stunned audience! Now, where may I find Decker Gima?" You ask, straightening up with a grin, looking around at the sake soaked pirates.
                     The large man with a scared eye that stood next to a window shifts. "Kill her," He orders. As soon as the words leave his mouth, they surge forward. You kick up a table. Hitting it into the majority of them and making them go through the wall. You turn about swiftly, hitting each one through the windows. You stop as they begin to rush out, looking around for Decker.
                         You catch sight of him fighting Mitch near the cliff side. You jump through a broken window, running to help Mitch. A fist makes contact with your cheek and you go tumbling. You stop yourself, dangerously close to the cliff edge. You glance over your shoulder, before looking back at your attacker as he lunges with his sword. The glint of the blade made your eyes widen a bit and mind go blank. Before you can move, an arm wraps around you. Blinking at the tip of the sword that stopped an inch from your face, you trail it to see that it had went through someone's arm.
                   "Cora!" You gasp, identifying the person that had came to your aid. His glare doesn't leave the pirate he seemed a bit angry though pain was evident on his face. The pirate pulls the sword out of Corasan's arm roughly. "Aw! Did you jump in to save your girl? You fool!" He sneers. You felt a surge of anger, "Bastard," You growl, getting to your feet. Corasan looks up at you in surprise, but your eyes are locked on the pirate. The pirate gives a nasty smile. "Come on then lass, I'll skewer you too!" He taunts.
                   You lunge forward, gauntlet glinting as he lunges with his sword. They meet with crack. You follow through with your punch, shattering the blade. He staggers back with a surprised cry. "What's up? Can't skewer me?" You taunt, stepping toward him. "M-monster!" He cries, scrambling to his feet and running away. You swiftly unsheath one of your knives and throw it at him. It meets his arm, approximately in the spot where he had injured Corasan. You turn to the blonde as he straightens up.
                     You hastily go over gingerly wrap a bandana over his wound. "I- Mitch!" You call out, as your marine friend is thrown into a tree. You rush over to check on him. "You alright?" You ask, kneeling beside him as he sits up. He nods, lifting his eyes and stiffening. "Your friend!" He gasps, making you look back to see Corasan dodge Decker's punch, but trip off the cliff. "NO!" You shout, running and giving Decker a spinning kick before jumping over the cliff after Corasan. He reaches for your outstretched hand.
                     Grabbing his wrist, you cling to the rock face with your gauntlet wearing hand. "I got you," You breath, trying to find a foothold. Finding one, you swiftly find another smallledge to cling to higher up. You look up as pebbles hit your head to find Decker grinning viciously down at you. "Why don't you let go of him? I'll pull you up if you do," He sneers, lowering a hand in front of your face. "Let go of Cora? Not a chance in hell," You shoot back tightening your grip around Corasan's wrist. Decker's grin became even more bloodthirsty. "Drop him! Let him be impaled by the spikes below!" He urges with a disgusting cackle.
                     "Impale yourself! Bastard!" You growl, chomping down on his lowered hand and rearing your head. He is pulled off the cliff and you kick him away from you as he falls. "Tell me to drop Corasan again! I'll kill ya five more times!" You angrily shout after the falling and screaming man. "Easy Tigress," Mitch huffs from above. You look up, "You better have dealt with the stragglers!" You tell him. "I did... He really pissed ya off huh?" He comments, grabbing your wrist and pulling you up. "No one tells me to let go of Cora," You growl as you claw over the ledge with the marine's help.
                     You both pull up Corasan. You stand up, helping up Corasan before walking him safely away from the edge. "Stay," You order before walking over to the barrel stack and grabbing a barrel before going to the cliff edge and roughly throwing it down. "Yep... She's mad," Mitch comments as he and Corasan watch you go back and forth, tossing barrels over the edge after Decker. You get to the last barrel and stop. Briskly walking over to Corasan, you brazenly reach into his pocket and fish out his lighter as he freezes.
                    You then tear off a piece of cloth of one of the dead pirates before marching back over the barrel and putting half of the cloth in it. You take the barrel to the edge and light the cloth. With an annoyed kick, you send it over the edge and watching as it explodes into flames, igniting the sake spilt by the other barrels, thus turning the gorge into a hellish lake of fire. ".... Yep, he's dead," You decide after a few moments. With that you walk back over to Mitch and Corasan. "You feel better now?" Mitch asks. You nod, handing Corasan his lighter.
                     "He's dead, I'm good.... Let's go," You breath, heading back to town. "Thanks for the help Mitch, you really saved my ass this time around," You tell him. "No problem! I owed you from last time anyway," He says with a shrug. You nod, "Still, thanks, let's go on another again misadventure soon, alright?" You huff. "Sounds good to me ___, take care of yourself," He agrees, offering his hand. You clasp his forearm with a smirk. "Until next time," You say, giving him a swift hug. He nods and walks away as you reach the gates.
                      "Come on Cora, we need to tend to your arm," You murmur, heading for your ship. Once there you have him take off his shirt, for a moment you pause to admire his muscular body, though it was littered with scars. You swiftly shake your head and gingerly clean the wound before stitching it up. You wrap up his arm, and stare down at it after you finish, thumb gently running over the spot where you knew the gash was. Corasan tilts his head to the side, trying look into your eyes.
               You look up into his, "Please, don't do that again," You murmur. He blinks in confusion. You look back at the bandages. "Don't get yourself hurt trying to protect me," You tell him, returning your gaze back to his eyes. Before he can respond, you hug his neck. "Just, don't," You murmur, answering his silent question. His arms wrap around you and you bury your face into his neck, enjoying the warmth he gave off. You pull away, meeting his gaze again. "Well... I'm going to take a shower, try to rest a bit," You tell him sheepishly.
                 With that you go and take a shower. After washing up you step out and clean off the steamy mirror to look at the spots. You note the spots that had grown larger.  You narrow your eyes, you were starting to run out of time. Corasan flashes through your mind. 'Am I...' You press your forehead to the mirror squeezing your eyes shut. "Dammit," You murmur, straightening up and getting dressed. You head back out, finding Corasan sitting in bed, writing in his notebook, still shirtless.
                    You pause in the doorway. He looks up, and closes his notepad swiftly making you raise an eyebrow. "Whatcha writing?" You ask. He shakes his head with a slight blush. "Fine... I thought told you to get some sleep," You huff, crawling into the bed next to him. He shifts then shrugs. You smile a bit and touch his shoulder. "Are you okay Corasan?" You murmur. He meets your gaze and gives a nod. You pause, looking into his eyes. You break your gaze after a while, blushing as you lean over and kiss his cheek. "Lets get some sleep," You tell him, laying down.

                      He touches his cheek, glancing back at you. You give him a tired smile before closing your eyes. He leans down, fingers brushing over your cheek. He hesitantly kisses your cheek. "Sleep well ___," He whispers before laying down and pulling the covers up over you. He shifts closer to you, touching his forehead to yours before he too falls asleep.
