OOM: Pearl Repairs

[politestpirate]

The sky is cool, grey, and occasionally misting, but that just means when you are working hard you can keep warm enough.

And there is certainly plenty of work to be done. The deck of the Black Pearl has been cleared off, with debris and pieces that are large enough to reuse stacked carefully. All over is the gleam of cut and exposed wood, the splintered edges cut and smoothed in preparation for patching sections. One mast has been cleared of charred and torn sails and rigging, the canvas and rope set in one area to work on before it can be sent back up.

One of the current priorities, however, is fixing the stern section of the ship, the back wall of the captain's cabin, that took some of the worse damage from the kraken-

Scottish autumn nights can start to get chilly, afterall.

Party thread style, slowtimes more than welcome.

"Exactly." He grins at her. "A bit of a brace for each pane, savvy?"

"Wo dong." Almost cheerfully, now.

It's a lot easier to deal with things that are broken if the other person's...okay with it.

She's found that out before. It hasn't changed.

Jack looks pleased, even as he runs a hand over the wall by the latticework in an absent, familiar caress.

"I'll let you set to it, then."

Kaylee stoops. Picks up a handsaw.

Says, over her shoulder, "Could paint the latticework purple."

Grin just a little teasing.

He looks up from the oilcloth that he's currently unrolling to give her a rather baleful look -- or at least it would be, if there wasn't wicked amusement glittering in his eyes.

"Luv, she's the Black Pearl-- not the Purple Pearl, savvy?"

A beat, and he gestures at his hair.

"Not that there's a thing wrong with a bit of pretty color, but not on me ship like that."

Kaylee shakes her head sadly. "You're the boss."

And, grinning, she turns back to work.
