10th Wave
The cacophony of noise here is growing worse. Stow your bleating, lambs, or I'll cast yeh overboard to fill your jabbering mouths with seawater.
[Never mind that they're not even sailing over water at the moment. Jones can understand English, but is speaking in Scots Gaelic]
[Private to Sylvanas]
If yeh would oblige me a moment, m'lady..? I've something you might like to see.
[Private to Bush]
Yeh've been quiet, Warden. Plotting something?

Private
Was it a duel, or was it murder.
Private
It wasn't a proper duel, and nor was it your traditional knife in the back. Somewhere between, I should think. A forced engagement; a knife in the front.
Private
You know what honour is-- at least when it's hers. But you're so pleased to act the savage. I let the matter with Dent go because it was arranged and neither of you hurt, but this ain't going by.
I am going to speak to Winchester, and you'll spend the next week cleaning the heads if I have my way.

But you attacked him over the honor of her Ladyship, over sins of his.
Who deserves retribution out of you? I hear he is a god of Death, or was, just like you was the devil of sailors, are you so different, the pair of you, that you can judge him and consider yourself an innocent?
Private
I don't consider myself anything; and certainly not innocent. The benefit of being a devil and a monster is going out and committing monstrosities with impunity.
Private
I have never seen a man so honourable and brave and so cowardly and low at the same time-!
Re: Private
[Deeply amused at this]
Seeing as how I was both a legitimate sea captain as well as a pirate, I'll take your word as compliment to both sides of meself. So long as it's the sea captain who's the honorable one and the cowardly pirate the other.
: Private
You've played the devil but showed yourself the man here, Jones. Still courtly and still with a heart, even if it ain't behind your ribs.
Of course she didn't ask you for it, I've no thought she did. But it was for her you did it.
Private
Private
And since you're not an animal, you'll talk.
Private
Talking about his feelings, however, is never something he's been comfortable with, and the idea of having to do that threatens to throw him into a rage]
And you'll do that how, exactly?

Re: Private
Private
I can outlast yeh, William Bush.
Private
And I will continue saying that you are a scorned lover turned your scorn on everyone around you, and that despite it you would risk your life for a devoted friend.
Private
You will say it to no one or you'll feel just what my scorn can do to your beaten, broken body. She is not my friend. She is nothing.
Private
As you like, Jones. In another ten years I'll toast you to my fickleness, and then another ten after that.
And Calypso, just a sad chapter in your past, forgotten? You lie badly for a pirate.
Private
[At this, Jones grows cold and stressed, anxious and angry and flustered. When it's matters of ship and sail, he knows precisely where he stands. Love is another battlefield altogether.
He immediately leaps on the defensive; a definite departure from usual tactics]
She was not so degraded as to be a bit player in any man's book. You cannot - do not speak her name-! - she was...
She is not Sylvanas.
