Zarina: Billowing Flag

Edward: *Boarding Zarina's ship, he looks up: shading his eyes from the sun as he takes a look at the billowing flag attached to the mast.*

Zarina: *Is teaching Shiloh how to properly tie a good knot; her back to Edward.*

Edward: *Smiles, looking toward her; he walks silently toward her. He leans over her* Ya know, lass; there's an easier way to do that.

Zarina: *Glares up at him; she gives him a sarcastic smile, as she attempts to mimic his accent* Ya know, you should learn to be more quiet? *Stands up* Could hear ya a mile off *Looks questionably at him* What can ah do fer yah, Kenway? *Folds her arms, giving him a half smile*

Edward: *Almost copies her: folds his arms and gives a lopsided smile* I was gonna ask for a favour... *Looks back up at the flag* ...But... I'm more curious about ya flag there. What made you choose that?

Zarina: *Lightly blushes; she unfolds her arms* Uh, I'd rather keep that one to me self. Thanks. *Turns to walk away, only for Edward to gently grab her arm*

Shiloh: *Whines, also taking hold of Zarina's arm* Aw, c'mon, capt'n. We really want to know!

Zarina: *Looks to the cabin boy* We?

Edward: *Grins, moving his arm to around her shoulders* C'mon lass; the kid wants to know and I want to know, so tell us. *Pulls her closer into him*

Zarina: *Frowns as she pushes herself off him; she thinks on it for a couple of seconds, before sighing* Fine.

Shiloh: *Cheers* Yay! *Sits on the raised part of the mast, looking very interested*

Edward: *Sits next to the kid, leaning over his knees on his arms; he smirks up at her* Off ya go then.

Zarina: *Rolls her eyes* I.... Hmm... I guess it came from when I used to doodle as a young girl... I liked it so I kept it.

Edward: *Raises an eyebrow, straightening his back slightly* I don't believe that's the full story, luv. There's more to it, right? *He gives a half smile, when she frowns and looks away; hinting to him that he's right*

Zarina: *Not really wanting to continue the rest of the story* ... No.

Edward: *Smirks further* I still don't believe ya... There is more. I can tell.

Zarina: *Closes her eyes as she sighs* Fine, Ed. I started it with my uncle. He was the only person I could relate to; I felt comfortable around. We did that design together, before he died, and I loved it too much not to use. So there.

Edward: *Grinning, indicating he is joking* Wow, that was really sappy, especially for you, luv.

Shiloh: *Laughs as Zarina punches Edward in the shoulder* I thought it was rather sweet. *Gives a sweet smile* From what you've told me, your uncle sounds like a great man.

Edward: *Being serious, but still with a small smirk on his face* And a great pirate. *He pulls Zarina into a hug*

Zarina: *Pushes him away* He was. Best there ever was.

Edward: *Clears his throat, raising an eyebrow*

Zarina: *Raises an eyebrow in response* What? You're second best *Smirks*
