Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
Tide tipped his mug up for a quick drink then held it out to Button again. "You know many shanties, or does Murray there need to do some teachin'?"
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"Know some. Not's many as you, prob'ly," Terry said, looking up at the mug was shoved under his nose again. "Um. You sure?" he said doubtfully, before reaching for the mug.
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"What, me? I don't know any, hardly. Haven't got a singin' voice anyway. Go on!"
Tide's generosity was fueled as much by his good nature as the fact that he had already enjoyed a full tot of rum before coming on deck.

Terry took the mug with a grin, and had a mouthful, more prepared this time for the taste and strength of the neat rum it held. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and offered the mug back.
"I ain't... They ain't come to hear a nipper like me, though," he said, settling back down with his back to the gun-truck, feeling a little light-headed because of the alcohol.

Terry grinned and pulled up his legs, resting his chin on his knees as he looked up at the shantyman and the two singers he'd interrupted earlier. It was kind of nice, not to be told to shut up and shove off.
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
By now, Murray and Mister Small had launched into a spirited rendition of 'Bully in the Alley'. Tide grinned.
"This ain't gonna be a bad evenin', 'less Chase starts tryin' to sing too."

Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
Terry couldn't help giggling at that picture. Mister Evans really did say some of the funniest things sometimes!
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
The quartermaster nodded and helped himself to the tin mug of the seaman beside him, who'd abandoned his seat in order to dance. "Aye, that'd be close to what he sounds like, does Chase."
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"Whattabout you then?" Terry said, putting a hand over his mouth just a shade too late. He looked up at the quartermaster from round brown eyes, hoping he'd not said anything that would mean he would be in too much trouble.
That rum must be strong stuff!

"What 'bout me?" Lemon wanted to know, thoughtlessly barging into the conversation. In between, of course, healthy pulls from his mug of wine.

Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"Meant, Mister Evans," Terry said, looking up at the sound of a new voice joining their conversation. "Or, well, anyone reelly. Can you sing?"
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
Sing? There was a good one! "Like a dead fish," Lemon replied.
"I ain't got a voice in me, even bein' Welsh, like." Mister Evans, whatever he was, gave a shrug - and, Lemon thought, eyed his mug as thought coveting it. That thought made him take another long swallow. Nobody but him would get this wine!

Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"Oh." There didn't seem much else he could say to that.
"So help me Bob I'm bully in the alley. Way, hey, bully in the alley.
Help me Bob I'm bully in the alley. Bully down in Shinbone Al..."
Joining in with a chorus, what did it matter whether someone could sing, or not?

Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
Well who knew. The nipper, at least, could sing. Why'd he need to ask them if they could, then?
"Why's us needed if youse can sing?" Might as well ask.

Terry shrugged. " Jus' wondered. You might know some as Joss Murray don't." He indicated the curly-haired sailor.
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
After another drink, Lemon said, "I might's know sommat but not really. Rivermen's ditties don't fit, do they?"

Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
To be truthful, neither did Lemon. Though he did realise that his mug was now empty when he tipped it up to drink from it.
"What bloody foolery's this? It's gone empty."
That Mister Evans fellow glanced over with a raised eyebrow. "The hole in the top of it might 'xplain why," he remarked placidly.
Lemon simply blinked at him, uncomprehending.

"'E means, you drinked it all," Terry said, and hiccupped again. "Oops," he added, putting a hand over his mouth.
Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"I bloody... did." Lemon blinked again, slowly, then shook his head. "Hell and death." Then, "here, what's that youse is drinkin'?"

Re: 20th July; A Rousing Stave
"I ain't any more - hic! Mister Evans gave me sippers of his'n, though." He swallowed determinedly; he didn't want the older sailors to think he couldn't hold his drink or any such nonsense.

"Not youse, shrimp. Him there. The taff."
