Nathaniel sighed as the man with the hammer came rushing at him again; it seemed none of these marine soldiers had any tact at all. The others fled or seemed to have fled leaving this lone officer behind to deal with him and the casual young man couldn’t help, but feel a little insulted by the whole ordeal. Sighing he scratched his chin off handedly as the wind rushed around him and the heavy head of the hammer appeared to be coming towards his side. Waiting until the last moment to parry he halted the momentum of the hammer with a half hearted swing of his cutlass clanging steel loudly against the hard material of the marine’s weapon. Looking at the man’s face he could see there was some emotion disconcerting the man and it seemed likely that Bardolf was going to take awhile to come back; sometimes his captain could be a bit of a blockhead.
“Hey” he muttered from the side of his mouth still maintaining the bored expression while his arm shook slightly from holding back the man’s strength; the blow had actually numbed his hand slightly, “…you look like you’re kinda angry. Wanna talk about it?”
Stepping slightly into his blow now he prepared himself for another senseless and violent assault though his eyes looked past the man for a brief moment in case there were any other marine dogs lurking around; they had to hurry up and finish this job. It occurred to him that he didn’t even know whey they were on the island and he had to stifle a laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.
“Some pirates we are…” he thought as his eyes lit up momentarily with a small spark of excitement as he gazed upon the Commander with an indifferent expression riding on his facial features.
