It doesn't sound like they're fucking.

Talk to him, then, hell. Phillipe defiled something important to you and abused a man you consider a friend. It required an answer. Surely this place has not made him so soft that he cannot see that, I've seen his crew do worse over less grievous offenses.

[chuffle]

Was he soft? Back where you came from. In Nassau.

[calicoat]

I didn't know him well, back home. His captain and Charles were always at each other's throats, the fraternizing between the two crews was largely between Mr. Gates and I, trying to keep their tempers in check.

There's not a lot of room for softness, in the life we chose, but Mr. Gates was soft on him. I can only assume the feeling was mutual. Does Billy talk about him much?

[chuffle]

No. Billy doesn't talk about anyone on his crew much.

[calicoat]

Gates loved him as if he were his own son. Captain Flint killed him, and still, Billy was loyal.

So, the temptation of the Urca de Lima was stronger than the sting of losing him, or perhaps he was soft, after all.

[chuffle]

Captain Flint will be lucky if he meets me and I don't use his intestines to decorate my house. I know that much.

[calicoat]

After all this time apart, Billy might just take your side on that one.

I would love a good seat for that, if the chance arises. I've no doubt that if he and I meet again, he'll try to have my head.

[chuffle]

See none of this makes me feel any warmer towards the man.

[calicoat]

Please, darling, let your fury fly. To see that man shown up would make this entire little detour worth it.
