Jude smiled, a soft, lopsided, twisted, Jude smile. He shook his head as he watched her hand rub along his. He nodded encouraging her to go on, that he was listening. But their moment was cut short. He herd the crew calling his name and sighed softly. "Well, time to prove yourself, whatever it is I'm sure you can tell me once things are taken care of upstairs.." he said as he let go of her hand, his cloak swishing behind him as he ran up the stairs, finally getting on deck he could see an approaching ship. He reached to his side, feeling his sword softly, his hands touching up upon the grove work on the handle. This was perfectly imperfect. Jude watched as the ship approached, dashing downstairs.

"Okay- You need a sword, and holster to hold it, do not draw until they make the first move." he said as he spun around the cabin, looking for a sword that would suit her body, and a holster small enough. He tossed the holster to her feet along with the sword. "I'll see you up there, be quick Lucy. We need all the man we've got, if we look like we've got enough they'll pass. It's why you were attacked, pirates prey on ships that they can take over." he said as he poked his head around to look at her. "Time to prove yourself." he said as he raced back up the stairs, he could hear the plank setting on their boat, his eyes narrowed. There were two ships.. One held a crew and the other held the Captain, the very man that had thrown Lucy in the water.

But no one but Lucy knew that. Jude watched as the men on the boats withdrew their swords. The crew yanked their swords out of their sheaths and held them ready, surrounding the cabin, a couple men around the steering wheel. Jude stood, his sword pointed at the ground, the tip resting on the wood of the boat. "Try us.." he muttered. "Ready Men.. LEAVE NO ONE!" he called as they charged. Swords were flying everywhere. Jude remained fighting near the door so that Lucy could have a better entrance into the fight, so this way she wouldn't be ambushed while she was alone down there. People had been after Jude and his ship for ages, and there was no way he was going to lose either.
