Thread: Relentless (Reno x Lila Lupin)

Avery gave a laugh when she heard Peter roar in frustration. She did a quick spin while continuing her escape just to double check that he had indeed been stopped by a guard. Oh this was rich. She was not going to let him live this one down any time soon, that was for certain. Her laughter rang in the air when he shoved the guard off of him and informed him just who he'd allowed to get away. Better luck next time Peter. She hollered back at him, praying that he and the villagers heard her. They had indeed heard her and many of the villagers visibly cringed. This woman was perhaps one of the most audacious pirates to every sail the seven seas. Avery had quite the knack when it came to escape her own demise. Peter had actually gotten quite a bit closer than he normally did and she was honestly about to just surrender but then that idiot guard had rammed him and given her the opportunity that she'd needed to escape. Avery was now leaning against one of the walls of the city catching her breath. A part of her felt bad that the chase had ended the way it had. She hadn't wanted to get caught, but she certainly didn't want Peter to get hurt. She was certain that he was fine. He always was. But she did feel bad that his uniform had been torn. Normally she wouldn't have cared but she'd always had a soft spot for Peter, even when they were young. Especially when they were younger. She never gave any other officer that much of a chance. She never let any other officer get that close, and she would have rather died than let anyone else take her in like that. She never would have considered surrendering to anyone else. She sighed as she shook the thoughts from her head. She reached inside her bodice as she made up her mind and pulled out a sheet of paper and rummaged in her bag for the ink and quill that she always kept on hand. She quickly penned a letter and neatly folded it into thirds before writing Captain Newcastle on it. She then, quite stealthily, made her way towards the Wraith . A big part of her was shaking its head at her for what she was about to do. She didn't need to do this, and honestly, she probably shouldn't. It was too risky, and while she'd managed to get away earlier her luck would eventually run out. Avery was never really one to listen to reason though, and so she waited for the perfect opportunity and snuck onto the vessel that called Peter its captain. She knew she wouldn't be able to get all the way to his cabin and back out again without being seen so she walked to the mast that was directly in front of the gang plank, took out the note, a bag of coin, and a dagger. She held the note up to the mast before plunging the dagger into it. She made sure that it was secure before quickly tying the bag of coin to the dagger. She was about to turn around to leave when she noticed that a group of the ships sailors were heading towards the ship. Well there goes that idea. She cursed under her breath as she quickly surveyed her surroundings. Only one way out now. She turned and ran towards the edge of the ship furthest from the sailors and hauled herself up onto the railing. You there what do you think you're doing. One of the sailors asked her once they noticed her. The young men were running towards the ship in an attempt to catch the bold fool that would dare to trespass on a navy vessel. Avery turned as she perched on the railing and flashed the men a smile. I should really quit cutting things so close like this. She said as their faces lit up in surprised recognition. BYE GOD! One of the men yelled as they reached the gangplank. Is that Avery Havenguarde!?! It most certainly is boys. She said with an almost sweet smile. However I don't fancy swinging in the wind by neck so I really must be going. She said as she stood up. Do tell Peter that I send him my love, and make sure he gets my note. She said before diving into the water below. This was a risky move and she knew it, but luck was thankfully on her side once more. She really did need to quit cutting it so close. One day Peter was going to catch her and she doubted he'd be too nice about it. Avery managed to swim to safety and avoid any more run-ins, be they planned or unplanned, with any navy men. Peter was very unlikely to follow her back to her own vessel now. She'd made good and sure that it would be harder than finding ice water in hell for him to do so. However he wouldn't need to see where her ship went to know where she was going. Her letter would give him a good enough idea. However she imagined that if he was there that he'd been ordered to take shore leave, and she'd never known Peter to be the type to ignore an order. Which would give her at least a few days of a good head start to get to Tafton. By the time that Captain Newcastle had gotten back to his ship there about ten or twelve of the sailors all surrounding the mast with the letter on it and talking about the incident. None of them had dared to open it yet, or even take it down for that matter. One of the sailors noticed the captain and turned everyone's attention to him.
