The Tidal Pearl was a proud, and strong ship. One would say it was too good for the kind it was carrying. Pirates, one might think, could not appreciate such a fine ship. Any pirate worth half a damn would know that some of the finest conneseuors of ships were pirates. And it should figure that one of the finest ships would carry some of the proudest pirates. Adventures, taverns across the seas, ships to plunder... all of these were part of serving on the Tidal Pearl. When they weren't just in the middle of nowhere, of course.
On this morning, the longboat sat on the waves, tied to the mother ship, just drifting alongside the larger one. In the small boat sat one of the pirates, Arnwen, an elf. Hanging over the side of the boat, his shoulder length red-brown hair swaying in the wind from beneath his bandana, looking at the reflection in the water below, he stared at the emerald eyes staring back at him. He looked off into the distance, watching the sun play off the rolling waves. In the distance, he saw a group of gulls, circling around some driftwood. Looked like a ship had capsized somewhere in the area. "Poor sods." He said to himself. Squinting his eyes, he saw that the gulls were squaking at someone on the driftwood. With a gasp, he put in place the longboat's oars and rowed over. Thankfully, the rope tying him to the Pearl was long enough to let him row over.
Leaning over, he grabbed at the man and struggled to pull him into the boat. Finally, with a thud, both lands on the floor of the longboat with a thud. Arnwen looked over the man briefly. He wore the shreds of a naval uniform, barely recognizable from how it was so very mangled. He took a seat on the bench and began rowing back to the ship. "Hey, hey!" He called, "I gots a man! I gots a castaway! Let me up, let me up!"
