Seeking refuge.

Milah sighed as she rolled her eyes, pulling her small red bandana from her drawer silently, looking back to her sleeping husband occasionally to make sure that he remained sleeping. She was running, and that meant she couldn't be with her son anymore. Despite him being young, Milah could not bring herself to stay in a relationship she was unhappy in. She didn't love Rumple, and by no means would force herself to stay in something her heart was not in.

Milah was a free spirit, she wanted to be outside, on a ship, doing something quite possibly dangerous. 'Living on the line' as her mother used to say. Tying her bandana around her head to help hold the hair from her eyes, Milah grabbed her boots and pulled them on as she walked out the door, never to look back on the life she was leaving behind. Milah wanted to tell her son that she loved him, but if she would look to her dear son, Milah knew she would never leave.

With a quick motion, Milah closed the door and ran down the dirt road, to the pier where 'The Jolly Rogger' sat in the water, it's sails billowed in the wind, and Milah took in the sight with a smile. It was beautiful to see the ship in all it's glory. Sails whipping around, and the smell of salt water, made Milah feel slightly more at ease, and helped forget of her family she was leaving behind.

"Excuse me," Milah began as she walked to the ship. She had briefly spoken to the captain of this ship before in the brewery, and hopped that would give an edge to her appeal. "Captain Hook. I am looking forward to eatery on your fine ship. I will do anything." Milah proclaimed as she caught sight of the Captain, in his usual black attire. Looking him in the eyes, Milah held her ground, as she always had when dealing with pirates.

Captain Killian Jones was currently preparing to set sail. The weather and wind was agreeable and as the sun would be up in the not too long future, he wanted to ensure all was prepared to leave as soon as the sun was first visible in its setting process. The night at the tavern had been a rather enjoyable one. He had met an interesting woman, and her company had bee missed by him when she had to leave abruptly after her son witness her drinking in the tavern . . . and of course that minor nuisance of a husband who came to crash the party. It had been enough to prevent Killian from taking another woman to bed, and instead, thought of her and the way she had seemingly been craving a life that she was not living.

He had been at the ship's wheel when he noticed a figure approaching the ship. The rest of his crewmen immediately readied themselves, withdrawing their swords in pure defense should the stranger prove to be a threat. Then again, they were pirates. They didn't need an excuse to kill. Intrigue met Killian as he descended the few steps and saw a woman. Not just any woman though . . . it was the very woman that he had spent a some amount of time at the tavern with. It was a very good thing that he chose not to get completely drunk tonight. As he approached, he stopped a little distance away from her, listening to her words. It was not her obvious beauty that he found to be enticing. It was the boldness she possessed. The confidence she approached him with and spoke to him in. The way she made direct contact, showing a complete lack of fear that he was a pirate. A smirk formed on his expression, deciding to remark on her lastly spoken words, one that stated she would do anything for eatery on his ship. Killian raised an eyebrow, a glint of amusement apparent in his gaze.

"Anything?" He questioned, his voice thick with less than subtle suggestiveness . . . having crude implications in what he meant in anything. It was enough to elicit a rumble of chuckles from his men. Simultaneous to his words, his eyes lingered over her rather alluring figure, slowly moving down and then up again, a gaze meant to make a woman feel uncomfortable. Though it would be interested to see how she reacted to it. "The last time I offered you my company you left with your son and husband," he said, not bothering to mask his smirk nor amusement in the thought of her being here now. "What's changed since then?" A way of him asking why exactly was she here, and what was the nature of her visit. Did she just want one full night of adventure . . . or was she here for a more, long term nature of stay.

Milah looked to the man who stood before him, and she nodded. "That is correct. I look to join you and your men on the adventures you go on. Aboard your ship." Milah said, never breaking her eye-contact. Milah wasn't going to back down, nor did she have any intentions of ever backing down. Unlike her cowardly husband, who faked an injury to leave a war.

When the captain had mentioned the night previous, Milah nodded. "I wanted my husband and child to leave. I had an idea. They are both sleeping, and it would save them much heartbreak, had I left while my child was awake. Nothing has changed though. I seek adventure, like you are your men." Milah said honestly, speaking from her heart, rather than just going through the motions.

Killian listened as she expressed her interest in boarding his ship. And it didn't seem like just a casual boarding where they would take her around for a bit and then drop her back off. No. It sounded like she wanted to be part of the crew. Permanently. The thought amused Killian and he smiled with amusement. Her words speaking of her desire of adventure came as no surprise. For the night at the tavern, she had seemed rather intrigued by his tales of adventures . . . and he could sense that she too craved that. Which brought them to this moment now. She wanted it enough to even be willing to leave her husband and child behind. Now that, was commitment and determination.

"You wouldn't be the first to express interest in joining our crew. One of the first women perhaps," he said with a bit of mockery in his voice, causing his crew men to once again, laugh. "So why don't you tell me why exactly I should let you join. What's in it for me?" He paused for a moment, taking a few steps closer toward her, invading her personal space. "What can you offer me?" He smirked, that suggestive tone back in his voice as he looked over her lewdly.

Milah listened to Killian, and she shook her head. "I may be a woman, but I can assure you I am one of the best people that you would possibly get on your crew." Milah looked over the pirate who stood before her, and she gave a sort of miniature smile. "Whatever riches I come across. First five, yours." Milah then thought over it even more, and then spoke again.

"You should have me. Whatever you need. I need this position, please." Milah listened intently as he spoke of why she should be given the position, and what she could give over."I need the adventure. I need the open air, and to be quite honest. I do anything I can to make things work. Please let me join. I will be a good addition to your crew, and I can clean or anything you need."

Milah wouldn't lie, she would give anything to join a crew as well known as the one of 'The Jolly Rogger', and she knew the adventure would be one of a lifetime. The trip that would happen would be something that would make Milah want nothing but to be on the ship.

She acknowledged that she was a woman, but would still be one of the best on her crew. Well, that was certainly an interesting thought indeed. She went on to explain that the first five riches would be his, and this caused him to smirk. "You make it sound like you'd have a choice in the matter, love," he told her, a slight tone of mockery in his voice . . . all in good teasing of course. "If you intend to be aboard my ship, there is a regular payment that will be required." Once again his words were suggestive, implying that he wasn't exactly talking about riches. He was entertaining the idea, seeing how much of it she could take. Truth be told, he had indeed found her good company at the tavern, as she seemed to fit right in.

It was her current desperation that he was slightly preying on. "I suppose as a woman, you could indeed be useful on the ship . . . should there be a cold, lonely night. I'm certain you could help warm my bed," he teased, his crewmates chuckling with amusement. She continued to try and convince him, saying that she needed this position; that she craved adventure and undoubtedly, freedom. He slightly leaned toward her, a smirk playing on his lips as her words processed. "Are you really so desperate to get away from your husband and son?" He asked, looking directly into her eyes to see what emotions would be there when she answered. For that, would help determine his answer.

Milah smiled, she was quite enjoying his attempts to what seemed to her, trying to keep off the ship. But Milah didn't let it effect her. She thought it funny, and entertaining on the idea of a man who seemed so cocky. It was indeed something Milah couldn't help but smile it. Cocky people never changed Milahs opinions on things, and made her second guess anything. It never took a negative mood let out of her.

With a gentle look up to the air, letting some of the cool air hit her face, Milah looked back to the pirate, with arms crossing. "Take it. Take it all if you want. Not like I really have much use for the treasures, unless it's some nice piece of jewelry." Milah shrugged, and leaned forward. Her face inches from the captains.

"If I had an issue with this, what makes you think I'd be here." Milah grinned and moved away from the pirate. She really wasn't the one who cared much for her live as a wife anyways. Granted she loved her son, but the whole mother thing, it was not working as she thought it would.
