The light shown through to the small window onto the bedridden young man's face. Where was he? Opening his eyes Leonard Le Clerc saw he was in a small room, various medical apparatus occupied the space of the room. An infirmary by all evidences, one on a ship at that, the subtle rocking was unmistakeable. As Leo tried to remember what happened and how it got there, he began to sit up from the bed he was lying in. Sudden pain shot throughout all his body and with it brought back the memories of what had happened. Nuevo Romano, the fight with the army and Brandon rescuing him. Yes, he had been rescued and was on the ship with his friends, which made it his ship. Well maybe. Was he still the captain? Were they even a real crew beyond Kusatta and Brandon? Only way to find out was to get up and see for himself.
As he tried to move some more the pirate realized he had basically been mummified. Not an inch of his body save his eyes wasn't covered by bandages. Everything was sore but nothing like it had been before he passed out. How long had he been out anyway? Trying to figure that out Leo looked around some more and saw a mirror above the desk across the small cabin. With some effort and grunting the mummified swordsman managed to get up and walk up to the mirror. With each step came a jolt of pain but they were quit negligible compared to what they had been, which told him that some time must have passed if he had recovered that much. Looking at himself in the mirror however, seeing that other than the fact he was covered in white bands of cotton, his body was much the same as before, the young man had not lost body mass or muscle which would indicate he was not out THAT long. Overall a week, maybe two.
Thinking about all that time he was asleep made Leonard realized he was extremely hungry. Time to catch up on two weeks of eating. Putting his hands up to his face the pirate ripped up the bandages covering his face. Other than a small scar above his left eye, making a small dent in his eyebrow that would surely disappear with some more time, everything looked intact. Good, it would have been a waste of a handsome face, although maybe a big scar across his face would have looked cool, but that thought quickly went away. Next fight... maybe. Loosening his bandages a bit more to make eat easier to move Leo walked towards the one and only door of the cabin.
Slamming the door open, Leonard was greeted by pure white sunlight blinding him for a moment. Everyone was on deck, doing one thing or another. And all turned to the newly awaken Captain. Was it time for a grand speech and some ceremony? Maybe. However only one thing came out the mouth of the man with the ripped up bandages and the dumb-looking-half-asleep face. "I'm hungry." Befitting of a real pirate, food and drink first, speech and ceremony later.
My muse is not quite back up to scratch yet but this will have to do. Sorry for the wait.
