OOC- I know, but Jane perceived her as a Royal from her looks, she doesn't have an inclination to socialize, so she guesses based on appearance and demenor -.-;

IC: "A bear?" She seemed nonplussed by the idea, and glanced at Esmee, who was watching the exchange with slightly wide eyed terror, knowing all too well her Captain made no idle threats- in fact she made few threats at all, preferring to kill with little to no warning at all.

Like father, like daughter.

"Esmee. Are the bears in her world" She gestured to Carmen "Like the bears in Neverland?"

Esmee had no idea, but considering the towering size, bulk and slavering jaws of the Neverland bears, she doubted they could be worse. "I'd say so, Cap'n"

"And didn't my father tame four, ravening, wild bears with nothing more than a whip and a cool spoken word when he escaped the cro... the croco... the beast?"

"I believe so Cap'n. And lions and tigers and panther and ponies and all manner of creatures." She wasn't sure where this was headed, but she was answering simple questions, and that wasn't challanging, so she was happy to go along.

Jane put on a slightly exaggerated thoughtful look "So... is it not in my Legacy to also have the ability to tame said beasts?"

"I'd think so, Cap'n." She started to see where this was headed, and was a little surprised. Captain never played such games...

"Well then..." She leaned foward on her chair hand on her knee "Perhaps your friend would be the first."

Esmee was completely bamboozled. Jane never, ever did such... bantering. Only so much could be put down to a good mood. There was very little good in her Captain, and certainly not enough to extend to BOTH mood and banter. Unless...

Jane leant back and crossed her arms again "Though i admit it was a deliciously creative threat. You have an impressively savage mind."

Ah. Of course. Jane had indeed behaved like this before, around Joan Silver and any other rogue, blackguard, villian and foul minded bounder she crossed swords with. The brotherhood- no, sisterhood of the barbarian.

Esmee sighed. Surely this Carmen was a blowhard in the sails, undoubtedly this would end in blood. This Carmen was princess stock, her Legacy promising royalty, despite her rebel claim, which would be nothing more than an attempt to look cool and badarse. Any minute now she'd go all offended princess on them for suggesting she was a savage. Jane would shoot her and they'd end up int he principal's office... again.
