Almost like every night as well as every day, Siana found herself in Tortuga at the Scarlette Pub. She didn't truly drink that much, knowing with to stop before she reached the point of no return. What use would she be as a scout as well as spy if she was drunk. Siana had been on Tortuga ever since she had left the island she had called her home. Her hand moved to her right eye where she lightly traced the scar that ran down it. She could see, but not well out of that eye which made it hard for her to see if anyone was sneaking up on her.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as she leaned back in her chair, her eyes closing as she did so. Her boot clad feet placed themselves on the table before her. Usually she would be playing cards with some of the sailors and other pirates that came in, but that had begun to get boring. They were all the same and she had already won a lot from the men she had played, which meant they didn't want to risk playing her again. That was one of the reasons she didn't like staying in one place for too long, but she was finding it harder and harder to find a ship to get on.
It seemed that her fellow pirates were getting worried about something, she didn't understand exactly what though. Of course Siana could come in handy to whoever wished to take her on, really she just wanted to get off of Tortuga and go some place different, just get back onto the sea. It may have been more common for men to fall in love with the sea, but Siana knew very well that she was in love with the sea just as much. It was the freedom she got just by sailing on it, but she would never want to be a captain, she would perfectly fine with being just a part of the crew.
Her eyes opened slowly as she heard something being placed down in front of her. One of the barmaids had put down some rum. She smiled at Siana who gave a soft smile back before taking the rum and drinking some of it down. She placed it back down on the table as she removed her boots and then leaned her elbows upon it. Her head rested lightly in her hands as she thought over what it was she was going to do.
