[23] - [Private to Reaver]

[sharpememory]

We need to talk. You have something of mine, sir.

He can't help that. It's in his nature. And really quite pleasant to listen to, if you are in the right humor.

I am going to need more assurance than that. I don't want bids to be placed. I would prefer that only our agreement exist.

[Private]

[tatty_bye]

Then I have to wonder what else you are willing to offer me.

[Private]

[sharpememory]

I can offer you more than one bounty.

[Private]

[tatty_bye]

[Yawwwwn]

Go on.

[Private]

[sharpememory]

Reaver, come on. You've known me long enough to know that my word is good. I know that you've been known as a hard man [understatement], but I am asking you for one thing. He may be a navy man, but he's my navy man.

[Private]

[tatty_bye]

Ah, unspoken attraction. Is there anything more touching?

You're asking me to forgo pure entertainment in exchange for what?

[Private]

[sharpememory]

It's not an attraction. He's my nemesis.

What can I offer you? What do you want?

[Private]

[tatty_bye]

I'm sure he is.

Something to replace the spectacle you would deprive me.

[Private]

[sharpememory]

What kind of spectacle would you prefer? A replacement man? Destruction? Women?

[Private]

[tatty_bye]

So uncreative. And you captain a ship?

[Private]

[sharpememory]

I did, but she has been sunk. I am in the process of gaining another.

[Private]

[tatty_bye]

Sunken, you say?

...I suggest you take up a collection and see me at auction.

[Private]

[sharpememory]

[Damn it.] Fine.
