Upon the High Seas

Andi sweat dropped but agreed. Shouldn't mess with a goddess.

Stark soon went to bed, Xeraste was still up Andi was begining to nod off

Rukia was asleep. Ulquiorra was still up.

he had glanced over at her a couple times at her sleeping form

He caught himself looking at her. He tired to focus on his work.

after an hour or so he decided he was tired and needed rest, explaining his lack of focus

He went to bed taking one last glance at Rukia.

he lay awake still thinking about it before he finally fell asleep

Andi helped Xeraste with breakfast. She wondered what Stark did before he met Xeraste.

she thought about asking but hoped into wouldnt be to delving into private life

Stark could tell what Andi wanted to ask. It was writen all over her face.

"retired pirate" he simply said "retired? you dont look old" she said

"It was Lilynette's idea." He said yawning. "I retired after about five years."

"who's lilynette?" Andi asked "she's my former first mate" he replied

"And my younger sister..." He added.

Andi nodded "where is she?" she asked

"Don't know. Haven't seen her in a year." Stark said now thinking about it.

she sweat dropped "you havent seen your sister in a year?" she askd

"She comes to visit when she wants to." He said with a shrug.

"oh.." she said "were you part of a group of pirates? or sailed under your own orders?" she asked

"Just me and my own small crew." Stark said. "It got boring after a while."

"sorry i just cant see you as a pirate" she said he just shrugged

Asa had said the same thing when she first met him.

Andi wanted to explore around the swamp but the thought of crocodiles kept her from doing it alone

Stark warned her to not go off on her own. There was more then just crocodiles in the swamp.
