(Actually, Barbossa does bleed. When Elizabeth stabs him and he pulls the knife out, blood drips dwn the knife. I made sure to remember before I wrote that down.....)

Minara laughs right in his face. "It's a little late for that...love...." She smirks and this time it is no trick of the light, she really does have fangs for just a moment. "Like I told Devina.... Tread carefully, Jack Sparrow... We could be two of the greatest partners in pirating in the world... But only if we both agree on it....." Minara raises an eyebrow.

((yes, i do remember that. i was merely referring to when jack shot him. it was with that scene in mind that i gathered that it was an inconsistency. ))

Minara watches him, not finding him mad in the least, well, no madder than her. "Well?...." Her eyebrow raises a little further in question.

((Umm...just so ya know, I'm biding time as to when this secret thingy comes out, as I have not a foggiest what it is...>.<" ))
Devina watched the scene unfold before her. "I would take my leave now M'am." she said coldly, and strode toward the raillings. She knew she was no easy womn, her temper was about as bad as a bull's, and she had this thing for winding people up. A trait most obviously from her fatehr, and a wish to be in charge most of the times. Also most deffinatly her father.

Chris had enough of all of this and walked out of the cabin to get some fresh air, he looked as Devina walked towards the railings and Chris walked after her.

"Where are you going? Had enough of them?"

Chris smirked.

"Well who wouldn`t..."

Devina smiled at him and nodded curtly "Respect my friend, is an earnable gift."

" Perhaps...but..I understand you had a ship eh?"

Chris took drank from the bottle filled with wine.

Devina raised her eyebrows "I have a ship mate. The Dawntreader . Fastest ship after the Interceptor." She winked. "Maybe ye would care to join me on it? There are things to discuss," she threw Jack an ugly look "That I would not discuss here."

"But of course I would, those two seem that they can`t agree and that`s just bad business...."

Chris stepped forwards.

"Shall we go?"

"Aye." She said shortly, and climbed up onto the side. "Whenever you are ready. My ship lies not 1mile away. In fact, it might still belong to the port, I dont know."

Minara smirks, watching him laugh and waiting for his answer. "Well, would you like to be partners?.... I have a feeling that two against one works best... Especially when there's treasure involved....." Her ice-blue eyes watch him carefully, flickering slightly as they reflect the flame on the lantern that hangs nearby.
She ignores Chris and Devina, who seem to be leaving, thinking 'Good riddance...'. Her smirk deepens. "Devina can keep her secret, for I have something better.... But the only way you'll get in on it is if you swear loyalty to me an' my cause...." Then it is her turn to laugh, but not loudly or maniacally, like Jack. Her laugh is soft and sinister, as dark as a moonless night. "Then again, I know your word is worthless..... But I still want it...."

(I just take this scene slightly forwards if that doesn`t bother you Rhavaniel?)

"Splendid.."

Chris muttered to hiself as they began walking towards the ship, Chris placed the bottle on his belt and placed his hand on his sword.

"So... Did you just think of taking me in as a mere crew member or as some sort of a partner?"

(course not)
"All depends really. A partner, I suppose. Youre strongwilled, and we all know you can handle my crew better than me." They walked up a plank and stood on the red-golden ship. "What do you think?"
