[saltwatertraffy]

I mean it takes less seawater to weaken me than it does freshwater.

[darlingdraculina]

It weakens you! That's worse, somehow... I thought maybe the fruit just took away your swimming skills or something...

So like, if I splashed you with seawater, you couldn't use your powers?

[saltwatertraffy]

Temporarily, if you hit me with enough of it, yeah. It's pretty troublesome.

[He bumps his shoulder against hers.]

I'll just have to trust you not to use that against me.

[darlingdraculina]

[She laughs and bumps back, grinning up at him.]

Damn, and here I was thinking I'd just get me a spray bottle of it and spritz you when you're bein' bad~

[saltwatertraffy]

[The huff he makes almost sounds like a laugh.]

If you're gonna object to me being bad, why did you decide to join my pirate crew?

[darlingdraculina]

[Rolls her eyes and blows a raspberry at him.]

It's mostly for that mouth of yours; always givin' sass.

[saltwatertraffy]

Is that the problem? Then maybe you should think of some way to shut me up.

[darlingdraculina]

[It's a good thing she hadn't gotten that drink to her lips yet or else it would have gone everywhere. Instead she just sputters, feeling her face beginning to burn so hot she could fry an egg on it.

That starboard was so hard she just about got thrown overboard. Holy shit, Law, you can't just drop something like that on a girl without proper warning.]

You know, I kinda wanna give it to you. It takes pretty big balls to hit on a girl, wearin' a "pirate costume" like that.

[saltwatertraffy]

You don't like it?

[Does he mean the line or the shirt? He's not telling. He smirks and takes another swig of beer]

[darlingdraculina]

I'm just sayin' it's a little hard t'take you seriously in it! [Snickers, bumping against him before taking a swig herself.]

Thooough, now I am trying t'figure out creative ways t'shut you up and do something about the shirt situation. Both are looking pretty dire.

[saltwatertraffy]

It's a perfectly functional shirt. And, more importantly, it was cheap... But if you want me to strip that bad, I can.

[darlingdraculina]

I mean I did ask you to come over to tell me about your tattoos, so...

[Scoots away from him so he can have some room to disrobe.]

By all means, Captain. Strip away.

[saltwatertraffy]

Yeah, that's fight. Okay, then I won't make you look at my shirt anymore.

[He takes off his hat and sets it aside then whips his shirt off and drapes it over the arm of the couch, leaving his tattoos on display.]

Satisfied?

[darlingdraculina]

[Giggling and rolling her eyes, turning to face him so she can get a better look. She's seen a lot of this before, having spent most of her time hanging out with him on the beach, but... in her bedroom this is definitely a different vibe.

Perhaps it was A Mistake, but she will press forward! She cannot give up now!]

If I didn't know any better, I'd think you wore that shirt just so I'd tell you to keep it off.

[saltwatertraffy]

I really didn't put that much thought into it, but it's nice that you think I'm so devious.

[darlingdraculina]

[Snickering still.]

Mm, that's why I said "If I didn't know any better," because I'd like to think if you wanted it that badly, you'd just say so.

[saltwatertraffy]

Right, right... So, you wanted to know about my tattoos? Here.

[He twist so his back is facing her.]

Let's start with this one. This is the Jolly Rodger of the Heart Pirates.

[darlingdraculina]

[Rolls her eyes. Guys, amirite? But still amused and smiling nevertheless.]

Ooh! That's so cool! That's what you said you'd put on something for me, since I joined the crew, right? Did you design it yourself?

[saltwatertraffy]

Yeah, I came up with the design. Just give me something you'd like to have it on and I'll put a patch on.

[He turns back toward her again.]

The one on the front if the core of our symbol in, well, a heart.

[darlingdraculina]

Hmmm, I need to look around for something... though, I think I might already know what I want to do.

[She's really admiring this one, sorry. Yes, it's the one she's even seen the most, but it's still so cool every time she gets to see it. The tattoo is sick, no doubt, but the canvas is looking pretty good too.]

Uh-huh. Did this one hurt at all? It's just so big!

[saltwatertraffy]

Just let me know when you decide.

It hurt as much as the average tattoo, I guess. The hands hurt a little more, I think, but that could have been because those were the first I had done.

[darlingdraculina]

Did you do any of them yourself?

[She's gonna take one of his hands to examine the tattoos while he answers her (and still pretty floored by how large his hands are) and snickering at "DEATH" being tattooed on the fingers of a surgeon.]

[saltwatertraffy]

[He relaxes his hand and lets her do what she will with it.]

Nah, I left that to professionals. I'd probably be better at removing them than inking them, anyway.

[darlingdraculina]

Hmm, well okay. I was gonna ask if you knew how, and if you'd do one for me. But I guess I'm just gonna have to go to a professional~

[She smiles and points out the one on the back of his hand.]

What's this one mean?

2/2

[darlingdraculina]

...wait a second.

What do you mean "better at removing them"?!
