Bring me yer dead and dying, Admiral. I should like to laugh in Sparrow's face one last time before surrendering to your eternal hell.

...He is dead, is he not?

Not big on females. I've been decades away at sea.

No interest in it.

From:

ichoosefight

Right, and I'm guessing you're not from that time when lady pirates were killin' it being total badasses.

The point is, I didn't break your ribs.

From:

tentacruelest

I've met a fair number of 'em. Not impressed.

You're certainly adamant about it. I won't be swayed from my due.

From:

ichoosefight

Oh, come on. Don't beat up a little girl just because I reminded you that she exists. She's been through enough already.

From:

tentacruelest

I give back only what I'm given. By my count she's owed a few broken bones. I'll let her pick which ones and yeh can't ask for a fairer deal'n that.

From:

ichoosefight

[ ... Well it's something. ]

You make a compelling argument. But you know if you come at her all "yarrrrr I'm gonna break yer bones ye wee wench!" she's just gonna freak out and try to break yours again, right? I mean, it's what I would do.

From:

tentacruelest

I like the fear in their eyes when I come to collect.

From:

ichoosefight

Yeah see that's the part that makes kids like her who haven't learned self control yet go straight for the jugular. Christ, has nobody ever told you about cornered animals?

From:

tentacruelest

Don't get much of animals on my ship: no. Speak your piece.

From:

ichoosefight

Even the gentlest animals will bite if you corner them. You want her not to attack you? Don't threaten her. She'll defend herself. And if I remember right, she'll defend herself hard.

From:

tentacruelest

I didnae threaten her.

From:

ichoosefight

...Did you threaten her friends?

From:

tentacruelest

Some slight little boy with a large dog. I killed him.

From:

ichoosefight

Oh for Christ sake. [ FACEPALMING SO HARD. ]

Okay. This is by no means strategical advice, because it definitely won't get you what you want. But it took me a really long time to learn how to fight for someone else and myself at the same time. Attacking someone else is like attacking her but worse.

From:

tentacruelest

I was a bit preoccupied at the moment. I don't oft stop to think about how my killing affects others as I'm killing 'em.

From:

ichoosefight

Well that's why you got your ribs broken. Mystery solved.

From:

tentacruelest

It was no mystery!

From:

ichoosefight

See, that was sarcasm, because it was just so painfully obvious why you're getting in fights with teenaged vigilantes when you go around killing people without giving it any thought.
