It’s that time again, Rainbow Snippets!
I’ve had a few plot twists of my own to deal with the last week, but thought I’d share another bit of my current WIP, Captain Merric. If nothing else, writing swashbuckling pirates has cheered my spirits.
If you’re interested in reading other snippets head over to the Rainbow Snippets Facebook group.
Edward a.k.a. Captain Merric is trying to offer an olive branch to Daniel while his aboard the Opal:
“I thought you might like a shave. You could never bear to have beard when you were younger, I doubt that has changed.” He set down his shaving articles on the small table, pouring out some of the water into a bowl.
Daniel didn’t move. “What do you want?”
Suspicious bastard. “Can I not do something nice for you without a motive?”
“Unlikely.”
Edward pulled out a chair. “Come on. I know your beginnings of a beard will be driving you mad. Let me help.”
“You could help by giving me a looking glass, and I could do it myself.”
Edward patted down his person and grinned. “It seems I forgot to bring one.”
Hahaha…”forgot”? 🙂
I’ll bet there is a motive 😉
Forgotten… two men, a shaving blade, and no mirror. Interesting, and potentially deadly.
Just happened to forget, eh? 😉
LOL! Oh, man. My spouse says he shudders at shaving scenes in anything. Too many things can go wrong, on purpose or not!
Hmmm… What DOES Edward want? And does it have anything to do with the missing mirror?
He’s a busy pirate – can’t remember everything 😉
Captain Merric never does anything without a motive – LOL 😀
I think Edward has a reason to take great care of Daniel 😉
Never know, could happen… 😉
MY hubby used to enjoy being shaved at a barber…. especially the flaming methanol on metal balls used to burn of the excess ear hair LOL
Edward may have got himself further into Daniel’s bad books in a previous scene…oops
LOL. So handy to forget.
They seem to have the measure of each other. 😀
They go way back… but now need to get to know each other again 😉
Very convenient, forgetfulness. Seems those two have each other’s measure.
They can certainly rubbed each other up the wrong and right ways 🙂
