🚪 Tap on a table/door/wall/chair to get my muse’s attention without speaking | William to Abigial

{ Nonverbal Starters } 

“Yes, yes, I see you!” Abigail assured, harried enough to be quite done with politeness, “I’ll be with you in a moment – “ She eyed him up and down quickly, registering his uniform, and concluding briskly, “Officer,” before rushing off to tend to the rowdy lads at the back of the bar who were giving Georgina a hard time. 

“Honestly,” She breathed to the blonde woman, stepping back just in time to avoid being splashed when the man her friend was managing suddenly tipped over on his bench and crashed to the ground to an uproar of laughter. Georgina looked at her innocently, but Abigail had seen her yank one too many men down to fall for it, “Well seeing as you’ve got this handled,” She shoved the tray she’d been carrying into the other woman’s arms, earning an unrepentant grin, “I’ll take care of the others shall I?”

“Give em hell love,” Georgina agreed, lifting the tray above her head in time to keep mead from being snatched by a man who had already clearly had too many. Shaking her head, Abigail hiked her skirt and stepped over the still dazed sailor to make her way back to the officer she’d brushed off – honestly, but she could do without the big ships coming into town! Frigates brought with them a ton of business – but that certainly meant a great deal of devilry as well, particularly when officers did not see fit to control their men!

“Now then,” She huffed, painting on a smile for – from what she could tell – just such an officer. “What can I do for you today Mister….?”
