Pirates! (One-on-One)

“So, what’s your plan?”

 

She sighed, tilting her head.

“You need to be alert. Always, Avice. You can’t ever let your guard down.”

 

She sighed, obviously weary.

“I’m aware, Avice. But even more so that usual. We don’t know if they know where you are and we don’t know where they are. So we’re at a disadvantage here. Keep alert. If someone even looks at you suspiciously, I want you to send out the pigeon, okay?”

 

She nodded slowly, passing Aubrey back to her.

“He’s really sly, Avice. Seriously. You can think that he has no idea where you are, but he knows.”

 

She nodded slowly, picking up her bags.

“I’ll be back to check on you in a couple weeks, just to make sure nothing has happened.”

 

“Nice to see you two. Tell Jack I said goodbye.”

 

“Right. Remember to send the pigeon,” she said, starting for the door.

 

“Mmhm. See you.”

 

He looked up, his eyes bright.

“Hello again.”

 

He blinked in surprise before going to the window.

“No, she’s gone. It’s alright.”
