@legatumisms "fair winds and following seas, if we're lucky?" He huffs derisively. "Luck has been thin on the ground of late, however..."
// And I you! Thank you very much. I'm moving house... A truly hectic time, haha. But I will be here when I can!
@legatumisms Vane scoffs, more at the creeping sentimentality than anything. "I doubt that."
// Thank you! It's been a wild time irl, I'm glad to be back!
@deceptisms He cocks his head to one side, lopsided smirk overtaking his features - perhaps there is some bitterness, acid in his gaze as he speaks, though his voice is low & steady as ever. "I know that's not concern for me speaking. So I have to assume it's a lack of faith in my ability."
@deceptisms Vane grows still, and quiet. This has ever been a contentious topic between them, no less so now he's been cooped up in the fort, cut off from the sea for months. "I will be the judge of that. Many men have tried to kill me. Almost that many men are dead."

@legatumisms "No." He quirks an eyebrow, pale eyes inscrutable. "That is, unless you've written one? I could read that should I ever find myself in a place... Unbearably quiet. Hear your voice from the page, I expect." He smirks; a tiny thing. He knows Jack will see it.
@legatumisms The thought gives him pause. Jack dead, and him alive? He's not a man for empty words or sentiments, so he leaves it unsaid that he'd burn Nassau to ashes before letting the verbose, gangly man before him perish.
He blows another smoke ring, watching it swirl until it breaks.
@legatumisms «The captain's smirk, such as it is, is little more than a twitch at the corners of his lips. Few men but Rackham would know it for the sign of easy camaraderie it was. A brow twitches; a hearty laugh in a different man.»
I know I am.
After the maelstrom that sank the Fancy and blew us out on future shores, Jack has certainly had the hardest time adjusting to the mediocre clothing of the men in this place.
