Nik staggered away from the the tavern: his hair was tousled, his clothes in disarray and, many half bottles of a thick brown liquid hung from his attire at various places and intervals. He could not take a step without clinking, and his money pouch was not nearly as full as it had been just a few hours before, he had lost much of it in a rigged game of poker, but he didn't care. "Lyin.....cheatin.......stupid.....an..I'm tha bastar'...oughf...maybe shouldn't have grabbed that last bit o' th' clearrr one." As he was walking he was holding his arms and hands at about mid chest height and making funny hand gestures...seeming to be completely out of his mind.

Jaklyn heard muttering as she headed towards the tavern, finally sobered up. She saw Nik, and her heart leapt into her throat. She moved towards him, and tenetively touched his shoulder. "Nik?"

"AYE?" he said saluting. Reliving and old memory of his before he realized it was Jaklyn. "Wh' yu' wan'? 'Aven't ye caused enuff.....arrrr that one with the black labels the one tha di' 'it, nay th' clearr one." he said turning, half stumbling half shuffling towards the docks.

Realizing then that he was drunk, she followed him. "Haven't I cause enough what?" She said, more to get him talking than in anger. Her dark eyes were wide, and she lay her hand on his shoulder, softly.

"Ye never cared to tink abou' another person, did ye? Noooo, iss always mee me me. You have any ideas what I was goin through out dere lookin fer ye and yer daughter, no, and turns out ye just stayed here, 'avin all th' fun in the world." he spun around backwards and to the left so that he could walk by. He unstrung one of the bottles hanging from his collar, drained the contents with a look of disgust and kept walking, muttering strange words to himself.

"You have no idea what went on. All I knew is you were gone." She screamed into the night, and following him, heedless of the tears streaming from her large, dark eyes. "Its always been about me, because if you trust someone else, especially a pirate who advertises the fact that he can't be trusted, you get hurt."

"I know plenty of what went on here, I've got eyes and ears all over this place now. And I told ye not tah get involved, I told ye it was a chance that you mightnt want to take. I wanted somethin I could nay have, there is too much at stake in a pirate's life. I've done much with the time I was gone, however.....thing's happened that I didnae want tah happen." he started to wobble as he walked, clinking the whole time. "But ye know, something I dunnae need tah worry about it anymore, I've got a new ship and a new crew, I don't need anything else." he stated while grabbing another jug.

She bit her lip, and her eyes were wide and bright with tears. "Nik, do you think I partied while you were gone? That I celebrated the loss of someone I loved so much that I would have given up anything with just a word from him?"
She grabbed his hand in her small, slender, dark hands. "Please believe me. If you no longer love me, at least tolerate me. "

He looked her directly in the eyes, his grey eyes no longer clouded over. "No, I know ye did not party and I know ye did not celebrate, but I do know ye did not die. Ye, stayed here happy as could be with Sarah, and the men o' yer crew, ye always have someone to talk to, me on the other hand has been alone for years, seventy-eight to be exact, ever since we escaped from that cavern I've not had anybody until a few months ago, when you said what ye did, do you know what thats like? To be thrust into the company of someone you enjoy and then you have to go and die and then be thrown right back out?"he screamed angrily, holding the jug lightly.

"Was I not to take solace in the company of my newly found daughter? You know not of what went on inside my head, Nik." She whispered, a broken, fragile sound. "Was that what I was? Someone to enjoy?" This thought dawned on her slowly, but fiercly. "I love you you merciless bastard. I did not thow you away, you changed everything about you! I don't even know if the man I love is still there..." Her voice broke off into a sob, her dark eyes were blazing behind the sheen of tears, and her dusky skin was burning with an angry fire.

"You do get to take solace in your daughter. And I don't need to know what goes on in your head. Yes, you were very enjoyable company and I loved you and now......It doesn't matter anymore I cannae have you. Ye want to see what I mean when I was thrown back out?" He pulled one of his muskets and held it against his heart. "Do ye really wish to see?" he was yelling at the top of his lungs not caring if anyone heard.

Panic filled her eyes as she grabbed at him. "Please don't." She whimpered. "Can you not explain to me? Through some other way then this?"
There was never a time in her life Jaklyn wished more for her alchohol refuge.

Nik: He pulled the trigger the musket ripping through flesh and bone. His face stayed neutral as he looked into her eyes. "Now, ye see what I'm talking about..?" "I sailed to the Lirn Ne Hadras, where....where the Dawn Treader was destroyed.....I died that day, a strange tide pulling me under the water. I knew nothing but darkness for months. And then suddenly I woke up, an old man sitting on a throne of bones in front of me, his name is Ivorius and he told me that the only reason that I was alive right then was because I still had a part to play. As soon as I do what my fate is I die."he screamed holstering the musket and trundling off, knocking all of the bottles of them and set them aflame. "I can never be with you, not unless I can find my soul and return it to myself, and the only one who knows where it is would be Ivorius, and no one can stand against him."

She screamed when the gun went off, remembering other gun shots, other deaths. She fell to the ground, sobbing, a sad parody of the strong pirate she normally was. "Nik, please don't leave me." She begged, her dark eyes wide with fear. Death had stolen her first lover from her, and now it was stealing her true lover. "Then I'll die trying." She pledged, under her breath. The thought of death seemed welcoming, after this long life tht now seemed to be cursed with painful lonlieness for the rest of her unnatural life. If she died for this, it would be welcome.

"No you won't. You'll never fine the Lirn Ne Hadras and I nor my crew will take you there. I have to leave it is the only way that I can keep my sanity, I must forget the life I once had." he started walking away.
