The Tide Is High - a John Smith RP (private)
 

After recovering from his gunshot wound, John Smith had reunited with Pocahontas in his homeland. Alas, he had been unable to rekindle their bond, as she had already chosen John Rolfe. Thus, he had elected to return to the seas, hoping he might find his true calling there.

He certainly was always looking for something to fill the void in his heart, and maybe that was partly why things had turned out this way: because he was always restless, compared to her wanting to put down roots.

He would not despair. Perhaps somewhere in either the New World or the Old, he might find someone suited for him.

Right now, as he stared out at the horizon, he was thinking about who could possibly be matched for him.

"Orders, captain?" his first officer inquired as he approached with map in hand.

"I think we'll be go due south southwest.

"Ah, towards the Horn of America?" said the first officer. "Very well."

John just kept himself fixated there.

His first officer could tell he wished to be alone with his thoughts, so he went to carry out his other duties.

It was obvious even now that he couldn't get Pocahontas off his mind, and that he would often think of her.
