Captain Teague Sparrow chuckled with laughter, and started taking off his coat and his hat, to avoid getting stuck under the swordfight. Then he brought out his cutlass, offering it to Quasi, while Teague himself was unarmed. He smiled to Quasi, it was a plan for doing this.
"I know ye be havin' nay experience in swordfight, boy. Yer first lesson be t' try t' hit me wi' yer sword. Note how I move away from th' blows o' yer sword. This be a lesson in how t' avoid bein' cut in two halves."
Mrs. Sparrow grinned. This was how her husband had trained their son Jack in swordfights from Jack was a little boy. Teague had been tireless, not giving up until Jack was a capable fighter. That was how he trained all his men. The former admiral with his thorough military style and his sense of honor was still living inside of him.
Mrs. Sparrow grinned and turned to Quasi.
"Don't be so shy, sweetie. Grab that sword and HIT him!!!"
Teague's dark eyes watched Quasi, as he prepared himself for the attack.

Quasi hesitantly took the sword he were offered. Noticing Teague didn`t have any others sword, he shifted his glance between him and the sword. He listened to Teague`s explanation, still a bit lost, it seemed all too easy..? The sword looked really sharp, it were going to be a mess if he hit him.. He blinked as he looked at the captain again, Shouldn`t we locate a hospital beforehand.. just in case i mean..?
He composed himself as Mrs sparrow insisted that he hit her husband, and lifted the sword. He feared the worst as the sword flew through the air, aiming at the pirate before him..

Captain Teague Sparrow watched Quasi sharply, prepared for the attack, but also watching his young student's reactions. He sighed when he noticed the student's hesitation. Such dwelling could cause him his life if it happened during battle.
"Lad - in th' heat o' th' moment thar`s nay always time t' search fer a location. Bein' a shipmate ye be havin' t' swashbuckle yer enemies t' win th' loot, an' t' survive. Life be short an' dangerous. An' such hesitation ye show now, will make sure t' be havin' ye killed."
Finally the boy seemed to get the grasp of it. Teague saw Quasi lifting his sword. Quick as a flash Captain Teague Sparrow jumped over to the left side of Quasi, dodging the sword. Now he was only showing the easy jumps and steps aside to avoid attack. Later, when Quasi had learned them, he would teach him other ways to dodge a sword.
"Good blow, lad, but ye didna hit me. Come on, swashbuckler, try hit me again!"

At the captain`s reprimand Quasi looked shameful for a moment. Then he lifted his sword to hit him. He found himself hitting only thin air as Teague quickly and elegantly stepped away from the sword. With the captain`s word in his mind, he again lifted his sword and swung his sword in the captain`s direction, a little faster this time.
..He stared after the sword as it flew elegantly through the air, right through a little kid`s pirate hat, before it hit a nearby tree. Whoopsie, he smiled faintly, blushing over his own clumziness.

A blonde girl waltz down the street called Adventureland. Everything looked so exciting. It seemed like a new adventure was around the corner. Well that was a start. Much better then Caer Dallben, where it was the same everyday. Eilonwy needed a bit of excitement. This looked like her kinda place.
The princess walked right up to two people fighting with swords. As much as she loved weaponry, she hated it being used for no reason. So she walked right up to the men. "Hello Men. Why are you fighting? Violence isn't the way to solve problems. Well actually it is. But anyway, this doesn't seem like a very important fight. I don't mean to be rude or anything, I'd just rather not see people fighting over nothing." she said.
(teague said I could join)

Captain Teague Sparrow bursted out laughing when Quasimodo missed him again, and pierced the hat of a kid instead.
"Ahoy, Quasi, if I ereneed a Robin Hood in me crew, I`ll make sure t' ask ye. Great show. Ye canna use 't fer fightin', but ye can make yer opponents sink t'Davy Jones' locker wi' yo ho ho when they be seein' ye! Ya horn swogglin' landlubber!"
When a tiny girl with blonde hair walked right up to him and started asking why they were fighting, he lifted his arms to show he didn't carry any swords. He calmly pulled the cutlass out of the tree, handing it over to Quasi again.
"Pray tell, Miss, how do ye expect men t' keep yer country free o' enemies, if ye won`t let them practice so they be prepared when th' enemy arrive?"

"You could always talk it out. Oh what am I saying. That doesn't make any more sense then inviting a bee to come and sting your nose. Your right. Could you help me? I kinda suck with the sword. And if I'm gonna help then I need practice." she said with a little smile. The princess shooed of her bauble. "So where do we start?"

Quasi smiled shamefully, not knowing what a Robin Hood was, even though he had got the understanding of most of the pirate language. Yeah, maybe i could be known as the funniest pirate of the world, he half joked, knowing very well his attempts with the sword hadn`t been that impressive so far.
At least it had been pretty easy to hit the tree, he thought ironic.
He smiled shyly to the newly arrived girl noticing the orb floating beside her shining brightly. He took the sword again, and were about to try anew. Just then the orb started flying right in front of him, and he couldn`t help but stop to watch it`s pretty, colorful shine.

Captain Teague smiled, looking at the young girl.
"Well, if ye`re goin' t' learn how t' swordfight, 't would be a good idee t' get ye a sword first. Do ye be havin' one?"
He furrowed his eyebrows as Quasi stopped mid-stab to look at the bauble with a sheepish smile on his face. He cleared his throat, hoping this would wake the dreamer up and back to reality.
"Quasi, that kind o' dreamin' on th' yardarm o' a swordfight wi' a bloodthirsty seafarin' hearty be nay good. Some tide 't may cost ye yer life. Ye be lucky that yer`re only fightin' me at th' moment. Another seafarin' hearty would be havin' taken advantage o' yer unattentive behavior an' made ye a hade shorter."

"Of course I do." The Princess said. She glanced at her belt, her swords resting place. "Oh dear I'm afraid I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Princess Eilonwy, daughter of Angrahad, daught of Regat, of the royal house of Llyr. And before you say anything, I'm a princess. I play with swords. Got it? Good. So there won't be any problems." Eilonwy said, drawing the weapon.

((Taking Teague's part in the plot ;D ))
Suddenly there was a cold metal blade resting against Princess Eilonwy's neck, and a cheerful voice spoke behind her.
"You play with swords you say? What a coincidence. So do I!"
Captain Teague Sparrow chuckled with laughter when he saw Esmeralda there. He gave her a friendly nod, and left the stage to her. He had other things to attend to, and Esmeralda would take his place teaching these two "kids" a lesson in swordfighting. He waved merrily to them, disappearing down the street, and Quasimodo and Eilonwy were left alone with Esmeralda.

(((Okay by me ;D by teaguey...)))
The princess jumped back when she felt the cool metal touch the back of her neck. But she laughed when she discovered it was only Esmeralda. "Well hello Esmeralda. We meet again. And yes I do pla with swords because you see, swords are quite fun. As are various other weapons. But anyway, I assume your would be willing to be teach us then." Eilonwy said still a little shocked.

(( ;D ;D Then let's play! ;D ))
Esmeralda laughed and lowered her sword, allowing Eilonwy to turn around. Her emerald eyes were glittering playfully, and there was a certain glimpse of mischieveous humor in them.
"Weapons can be fun indeed - if you know how to use them, and don't find yourself at the wrong end of them," she said with a teasing glimpse to Eilonwy's neck, as to indicate that was just what Eilonwy recently had done.
"Lesson number one is this: always keep your guard up. Even when you think yourself alone, the enemy might be lurking around. Be prepared for whatever meets you."
While she spoke, she was moving graciously around Eilonwy in circles, like a trained dancer. And La Esmeralda was famous for her dance, who had ensnared so many people back in Paris. All the time when she was speaking she held her own sword ready for attack. At the end of her last sentence, she suddenly made a blow with her sword towards Eilonwy's sword.
"Like this!"

Quasi smiled with humor as he spotted Esmeralda sneaking up behind Eilonwy. Briefly he noticed Teague leave, and send one last glance after him as he left.
He suddenly got a strong feeling he wouldn`t see the old captain again for a long time, and with a slight sigh, he silently took goodbye with him, grateful of having his friendship as long as it had lasted.
He turned back to the two girls in his company, watching the scene between them with amusement. Appearently it should become Esmeralda`s to teach them both, Well he`d already seen she were great with swords, he thought as he waited for his turn.
