I'm Not Scared of Pirates [Leaf]

Awkward.

That was one way to describe how Thanatos felt, contrary to normal. Hell this was a girl, he’d come in contact with maybe ten in his nineteen years of life. Okay that’s an exaggeration. He brought his glass to his lips and sipped the drink when she spoke. But it’s pretty close. He had startlingly little experience with people of the opposite gender. ”Life normally is boring.” His response was short and sweet, the clip in his voice returning it to the normal tone he used. Greeting formalities were over with, hopefully carrying out small talk would be more familiar ground. ”Can’t say there’s much here that would spice yours up.” Thanatos glanced around, eyeing a few of the ‘rougher’ sort of pirates scattered throughout, be they arm-wrestling, staring each other down, or appearing to take in some kind of bet. ”That is, of course, unless things stir up here.”

His lips split in a small grin as he turned and hunched slightly over the bar, looking at her to his left through his bangs. ”A bar fight would be fun to see –“ he silently added, Or take part in, ”— wouldn’t you say?” In truth that was what he wanted to happen, a bit of target practice or beating up on some drunk-off-their-ass pirate would risk even making him smile. Arceus forbid that happen.

”Then again talking like that is me getting my hopes up.” He rolled his golden eyes and poked his glass to the right then the left. ”Maybe something will explode instead.” Thanatos shot her a grin. His definition of fun was sardonic at best.

The smile on Leaf’s face was unexpected. What was there in this situation to appear so happy about? Did he miss something? Or had he suddenly developed a sense of humor and hid it beneath violent wishes? Their glasses clinked and he tilted his slightly towards hers. She was beginning to interest him, and that alone was a feat that could be acknowledged. What did she have up her sleeve? Then he knew. She had means to promise him a bar fight, it seemed. I’ll hold you to that. He almost felt like a spoiled child promised some marvelous present on a holiday from his parents. It was like something he wanted had just been dangled before him but he had the task of guessing what it was.

Movement around her wrist caught his eye, and he instantly understood (at least part of her plan). The pokemon melted away and out of sight, but Thanatos made no move to follow it with his eyes, partially because if something was going to happen he knew it better not to watch, and partially because he didn’t want to betray himself by showing any sort of curiosity, despite the fact it crawled beneath his skin like the itch for violence that forever sat at the back of his mind. He finished his drink and stayed staring at his fractured reflection in the mirror behind the bottles of alcohol lining the barman’s stash.

He couldn’t see much outside of his reflection and what graced his peripheral vision, but the crash of glass followed by the sound of fist meeting flesh told him ennough. The sound of drinks and furniture flying was excess, especially combined with the uproar that filled the tavern. Her words confirmed his thoughts – her Ditto had started it. Well you do a good job, now don’tcha? he thought, casting her a satisfied smirk from his side-glance.

The teen’s head bobbed once in a nod and he waited. Bar fights in this company roped everyone in, even if they didn’t ask to be invited to the party. He slid his glass to the side.

Just in time.

He was shoved from behind by a massive figure and retaliated with a half-assed shove in response, spinning on his stool to face the other man. The brief words, something along lines of looking at him wrong, came from the pirate’s mouth before his fist flew out of nowhere, quite literally blindsiding Thanatos. It caught the side of his face, the massively muscled man sending Thanatos’ skinny figure over the bar counter and to the ground on the other side.

Holy fuck.

The young man allowed himself to lay stunned for only a second before he picked himself up, not bothering to wipe the small trail of blood that came from his mouth. ”Thanks for that.” he told the man, a vicious grin pulling his lips back to reveal his teeth when he raised his head to look at the man through his bangs. ”Now I won’t have second thoughts about doing this.” He placed his hands on the bar and lunged forward like it was a vault, swinging his legs around to kick the man with both heels squarely in the chest and sending him stumbling backwards.

He landed on the ground and stalked forward.

Time to have some fun.
