sailing?
 And also fencing and fighting. When we lived upon Argos, there was much fighting with
fist and sword. There were also races to see who could circle the dwellings first and mind ye
most of the dwellings were high in the trees.
 Oh? Where and what is Argos?
Gin blinked, surprised.  Those in the Far Eastern Seas must truly be isolated to not know of
Argos.
 I know not what Jasper knows or others who sail the seas know.  Tis possible that those
who live the way of the sea know all about the various things that we who stay upon land do
not.
 But should ye not know? That ye were responsible for the ryn Ferths finances, did ye
not& 
 Do you mean to ask, should I not have known about the movement of pirates? I know
which areas have the most pirates, and there are various pirates whose names are infamous, but
knowing all about pirates was not needed. Besides, many a pirate keeps such information about
themselves hidden when trading, yes?
 Aye. So ye know naught of Argos?
 Indeed not. I do hope you tell me. I could see happiness within your eyes while you spoke
of it.
 Argos,  tis a hidden island in the Southern Seas where pirates live and thrive. Gin
scratched his chest once more before lowering himself back onto his elbows, continuing to watch
Torin dress.  Me and Rum,  tis where we lived after Red gave Capt n Boots The Argyn Ot.
 Where do you live now?
 We live once more upon Ganos. Capt n Boots knew not that Red was his father until this
past autumn, only thinking him a grumbley old pirate&  Gin wrinkled his nose.  Never tell Red
I said he was old or grumbley, or  twill be a mighty lecture indeed. The House of Boots, they are
not ones to ever think of themselves as old.
 How is it Captain Boots knew not that Red was his father? Torin located his boots and
pulled them on, his eyes upon Gin, liking this side of him.
 He was taken as a babe from his mother, Mamé Boots.  Twas not until this past autumn
that he also learned that the one he thought his mother was not his mother. Later Red married
Mamé Boots, and wishing to know his parents, Capt n Boots moved boat and crew to Ganos. I
must say, I loved being upon Argos very much, but  tis a fine thing to be once more upon Ganos.
I look most forward to Red s summer celebration and the Annual Treasure Hunt. All those who
participate cheat.
 All cheat because  tis all pirates?
 Nae, nae. Even the most upstanding of citizens cheat. Ganos, ye must understand, was an
island settled by pirates and all those who reside there are still either pirates or descendants of
those very pirates. Those who live not as pirates still follow the very foundation of fine pirate
living. Gin laughed.  Methinks all the conditioning Rum and I obtained upon Argos  twill do us
well. Mayhap we will even win this year. Unless Silver Midnight participates and then all is
lost.
 Silver Midnight& Midnight,  tis a name I have heard before.
 Aye, he and his papa, Blue Midnight, both fine pirates, both best not to fuck with. It
matters not how expert one is with their fists,  tis nigh impossible to defeat them, even if one
cheats. In fact, best they are at cheating. Capt n Boots treasure, a son he is to Silver, but a fool
Capt n Boots was and sent his treasure away. Now none can speak of him to the Capt n and the
Capt n holds nae thought of him. At least  tis what I heard.
 And why is this?
  Tis Zasara s decree, or so the van Wyrn said during one of her visits with Capt n Boots.
She says the Capt n s treasure holds nae thought of the Capt n and none can speak of the Capt n
to him. We all hope this decree lasts not long, for  tis most& sad. We can all see that Capt n
Boots is lost, that he looks about for his treasure without even realizing such a thing. Gin finally
climbed to his feet and swooped Torin into his arms, spinning about the cabin.  Mayhap when all
is done, I would take ye to Argos, for also do they enjoy much merrymaking and dancing.
 Realize do you that you dance with me naked?
Gin laughed.  Aye, love, aye.  Tis a fine thing to do and only could it be better were ye
naked with me.
 Mayhap next time.
Gin stumbled.  Truly?
 Capt n. Master Drum knocked on the door.  Master Stone insists ye make appearance
upon deck.
 Oi! What are ye about getting me into trouble? Rune s voice could be heard shouting.
  Tis what ye said, lad. Master Drum laughed.
Gin bit his lips to keep from swearing, but was startled when Torin laughed.  Where is the
humor?
 Rune attempted mischief and instead gained himself trouble. If you listen closely, Lemon is
offering him lecture. He kissed Gin, still smiling.  Clothe yourself, pirate, and we shall see what
your crew has wrought. And mayhap later you might finish telling me of your life upon Argos.
 And sex?
Torin slipped his hand down and patted Gin s ass, seduction curling his lips.  Mentioned I
did fucking you well.
* * *
Gin crossed his arms and looked upon the smiling faces of his crew, Torin at his side. He
narrowed his eyes daring them to say a word about his time alone with Torin. Rune started to
open his mouth, mischief emanating off him in waves. Lemon attempted to pinch his arm, but
Rune caught her hand, grinning at her. Rune s eyes became slits when it was apparent she
planned to kick his shin instead; her foot was already pulled back.
 Now, my limon drop& 
 Mayhap, Master Stone, ye will finally give up yer mannerless ways, Gin looked on, his
face deadpan.
Rune s head jerked around, outrage clear upon his face, then looked back at Lemon.  He
gets to tease? He gets to tease?
 He spoke not about our private moments.
Rune s voice grew silky, his smile matching,  Ye mean such as when ye& Ow! He looked
at his mother, rubbing the back of his head.  Ye hit me!
  Twas only a tap, old man, Jag snorted and stepped out of range of both Lemon and
Jasper s reach just in case.
Rune offered Jag a sideways glance.  A smart mouth ye have, son.  Tis& 
 How was the day s haul, lads? Gin interrupted, returning attention to him.
 Pleased you are for that bit of mischief, Torin whispered by Gin s ear.
 Aye, love, Gin returned the whisper.   Tis a fine and rare thing outwitting Rune. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
