Aw now darlin', don't be like that! Your ship's your girl.

[More importantly, your ship was your defense against the ocean and damn if you didn't need that. The ocean was a fucking bastard.]

Nobody important, eh? [He shoots her a sideways grin as he takes another drink. He was willing to bet she was pragmatic about that sort of thing.

Pirate family, huh? That was something you don't hear everyday. Well, it made sense, modern day pirates certainly made it a family affair. Still, it was hard to imagine you could appreciate how nuts being a pirate was when you grew up in the thick of it.]

Us? You got some brothers and sisters then?

[Then he laughed, shrugging easily] Nothing as exciting as your story. I was a Navy man. Did my years, found something better to do. Treasure hunting, mostly, if you catch my meaning.

[He meant he was a thief, con-man, and occasional mercenary. A bad man, if you will.]

Never had a bar before. Always wanted one though, figured this place gives me a damn good opportunity. Not much point in treasure-hunting. And who said anything about shady? I'm insulted.

[He certainly didn't look insulted.]
