Zarina: Party Pooper

Setting: Edward is given a task he was to complete by his fellow assassins that he must make his way into the Grand Gala - a high society ball -; to do this, he threatens one of those responsible for hosting the party into letting him and a plus one go. It was a party that one must attend dressed in formal attire. He invites Zarina along with him to keep him company since this is his first high society ball since becoming a pirate. (Set before Zarina loses her crew, but after they become lovers/ romantic partners)

Zarina: *Pouting as she is made to wear a fancy gown and gloves, have her hair done up, and have to wear heels; her hands were on her hips* You think of yerself so funny; don't ya, Kenway?

Edward: *Smirking, his hands behind his back - much like a gentleman would -; he's donning his old outfit that he would often wear to parties he attended with his son Haytham when he was younger: the cream ascot, the blue tailcoat that had the gold lining, the navy blue waistcoat, and his hair in a neatly tied ponytail* No, not at all, love... though, you can't say that I'm not... *Turns to walk away. Stops and turns back to her* Oh, and Zarina, no stealing at this party.

Zarina: *Narrows eyes, folding her arms* Yer just want to suck the fun outta ever' thin', don't you, Ed?

Edward: That's what I'm here for, lass *Smirks as he gives a playful wink*

Zarina: Hmph. *She slumped into Edward's captain's chair* Why do we have to go to this stupid ball anyway?

Edward: *Sorting out his sleeves of his white shirt* Love, I've told you... It's part of a task I must do.

Zarina: *Gives him a skeptical look* Which you can't tell me what it is? What if you need help?

Edward: *Laughs/ scoffs* Like I'll need help. *Walking toward his sleeping quarters*

Zarina: *Smirks slightly as she rolls her eyes* C'mon, Ed, all great pirates need help every now and then, even assassin pirates.

Edward: *Stops midway. Turns to face her, a look of shock on his face* You know about that?

Zarina: *Stands up and walks over to him; she looks up at him, a smirk and flirtatious look in her emerald green eyes* Darlin', there ain't much you can keep from me. *She went to go kiss him, only to pull away at the last second, a smug smile on her face and a pout on his* Though, I am curious... *She walks over to his desk and leans against it, one hand on her hip* ...Why would you keep such a thing from me, especially since you knew I would find out anyway?

Edward: *Sighs* I wish I could have told you sooner... But....

Zarina: *Gives a sweet smile* But, it was part of the code?

Edward: *Nods. Walks up to her*

Zarina: *Excitedly, pressing up against him* Sooo, are ya gonna actually tell me what your task is?

Edward: *Smirks as he looks downward toward her* Why don't ya guess, and I'll tell you if yer right?

Zarina: Ooo *Eyes grow twice their size* Okay, is it to actually steal something specific? *Edward shakes his head 'no'* Kill someone?

Edward: Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. *Smirks again*

Zarina: YES! *Fist pumps the air, almost falling on her face from forgetting about the heels; brushes herself off* Just what I needed, a good killing.

Edward: *Shakes his head* Ah, sorry, love; gotta do it me self.

Zarina: *Tone takes on a whinny one as her shoulders slump* What? But, I could have really used that...

Edward: Tell ya what, you can distract the bastard, while I do the deed? *Puts an arm around her shoulders*

Zarina: You mean be the pretty bait? *Raises an eyebrow, folds her arms and leans away from him* Why can't you do that part, and I do the killing?

Edward: *Leans closer, giving her a half smirk* Because, as gorgeous as I am, lass. You're a whole lot prettier than me, and I think you would get further with 'im.

Zarina: *Smiles slightly - arms still folded; tone half joking, half serious* Yer really think I'm pretty, Ed? *Batters eyelashes*

Edward: *Grins with a chuckle* Aye, lass, I do.
