"Speaking of outlawery, I hid my insignia, but you didn't...aren't you worried you'll get mobbed with the skull emblem?"
A satisfied smirk shows on Anika's face. "Ohhh, deary, it's like you're new to this job. Do you see-- oh, no, you don't, because we switched seats. Anyway, I am incredibly safe here. They fear me, you know." A small giggle escapes her lips. Her voice is as rich as honey, and she talks in the voice of a lover. "They're smart. The barwench and the barkeep tremble in their shoes, watching like hawks for any sign of my displeasure. If I'm cross with them, they know they'll burn. Free food, free drinks, hobbling across this town to find me the lost crew-members, all in the hope I might let them live out their pathetic lives."
I don't understand. "What?"
"Oh you don't get it? Of course you don't...Well...They believe I have the power to bring down this tavern around them, and walk unharmed. They believe I store lightning in a bottle on my hip." The laser rays! "And so I walk without fear, because they cower before me. They're mine. Of course, they're simple, like rats, but they have their uses. It sure is fun having minions, Magnus..."
"You're armed?" I kind of...lost my laser ray...
"Yes," she smiles, leaning back in her chair. "Are you?"
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't want her to know that I'm the WORST PIRATE EVER but I blank. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." REAL FUCKING SMOOTH. She sighs.
I change the topic: "Um, did you find anyone yet?"
"Only you," she says, taking the final gulp out of her glass. "That's a good thing, because to be perfectly honest, only you are needed. Everyone else is more or less expendable."
>"Why is that?"
>"But what about the Captain, isn't she needed too?"
>"Thats.......really cold...I didn't expect that from you..."
>Other?
