Bluebeard's charted destination was London, then on to India, China, and Japan. After agreeing to meet in London, I jumped back to the Sparrow.
"Jaqueline!" Vash strode over, having handed the wheel to Scarlette, and kissed me heartily on the mouth. "How'd it go, hun? Bluebeard di'n't hurtcha 'tall, did he?"
"No, Vash, darlin', I'm fine. I'm sure 'e knew ya'd carve out 'is other eye, as well as some...special...parts'a his anatomy, if he so much as touched me. A couple 'a his underlings weren't so smart, though."
Vash's gentle grip tightened a bit.
"Tell me who they are, darlin'. I'll annihilate 'em for bein' rough with you."
"You'll getcher chance to, luv. Be patient."
He relaxed a bit, and I snuggled against his bare chest. It was a warm day, so neither of us were wearing our normal warm clothing. I'd taken off the billowy buccaneer shirt I normally wore under my vest, and he'd removed both his shirt and trenchcoat. Vash pulled me closer.
"I miss Jen," I sighed, "Both Jens, come ta think of it. Our Jennifer an' confident, sultry Genevieve."
"Me too, Jaquie. Me too."
I gently pushed away from my husband. "'Scuse me fer a bit, Vash," I said, giving him a peck on the jaw, "Scarlette, d'ya know where Rex is?"
"In the infirmary."
"Why's he there? He's already healed up."
"Seems he's taken a likin' ta our dear medic."
"What, to Sakura? Does he wanna get maimed? She's gonna reject 'im, an' more, sure as Hell."
"Ha ha. True, so true."
"Thanks, Scarlette, you're a wonder."
