The Ruffian Who Married Me
A ship for a tubby
Lady Adamus went down the wooden stairs of the Giant Turk. The ship did indeed belong to the Ruffian.
Lady Adamus
Are you sure these stairs are safe?
*she grumbled*
Bartan
Normally, yes. But under your large ego, I'd suggest you move carefully.
Sputtering, The Lady decided it was wiser to keep in the retort. They walked a few more steps. Before the man held a hand up to stop.
Bartan
Alright, just a heads-up. The bugger isn't usually feeling great immediately after anchoring. A bit of sea legs, you know.
Lady Adamus
Uh...okay?
*unsure about what sea legs were*
Bartan
Right, then let's meet our son!
Lady Adamus
Yeah, no. Please don't, I'd like to keep my breakfast in my stomach.
The young man ignored her and opened the door in a very flamboyant manner.
Bartan
Tubby! How are you doing, lad?
Lady Adamus
You named a child tubby?
*she frowned *
Tubby
Barpam!
*Squealing *
Lady Adamus
*snorting with laughter*
Your name is Barpam?
Bartan
He's a child, barely old enough to form large sentences.
*looking miffed*
Bartan
I'd like to see your name rolling off nicely.
Bartan
Ah, this is Lady Adamus-
Bartan
Sweet lad, that's brilliant!
*laughing uncontrollably*
Lady Adamus
It's Theodore, actually...
*Frowning*
Bartan
You're a male????
*he looked aghast*
The bickering didn't end even when they left the room to go and have dinner. They continued insulting each other.
Bartans' crew was wise enough not to intervene
He still hadn't gotten a proper answer.
