[Voice // Locked to the Triton’s Mistress Crew and Guests / excluding Elissa]

There has been a lot of talk of people acting oddly. I wondered... Have any of you noticed anything peculiar with Elissa lately?

If it is just myself she doesn’t wish to speak to I could understand.

[What with recent events maybe he had created an awkward situation... ]

Has she seemed withdrawn or more peevish than usual with anyone else?

[He does keep a journal... good luck finding an apology in there though.

How curious not to find Connor on deck when he arrived. Eventually the young man was spotted high up in the rigging but it took a small bit of searching, and a quick glance around with eagle vision, to find him up there. It was simple enough to walk to the main mast and scurry up the side of it. He spoke only when he stood upon the same level that his son did.]

You certainly chose a discrete meeting site.

[No one could possibly overhear them here.]

I'm sure it must have occurred to you, that if things become as dangerous on this ship as they have on others you and I might be the last line of defense for the rest of the crew.

[We all keep journals here 8/.]

[Surveying the area below, he waited to catch sight of his father. The view from up here was far superior to down below. He watched as Haytham milled around for a few moments before the Templar took to climbing]

I did not want to risk having anyone sneak up on us..

[No one would escape their vision up here. He's not sure how he felt about being grouped together with Haytham... but he had a point]

That could happen... but I also think that we should try to reason with anyone that gets afflicted first, before behaving rashly ourselves.

[It was possible to break the apples hold, it could be possible to break the whatevers hold]

[This one is private, so not even you can read it. ]

[You best hang onto that pole you are standing next to, this might surprise you Connor. ]

Agreed. If they can be reasoned with we should try to talk them out any kind of rash action. But... if they can not we need to be prepared to kill them, no matter who it is.

[The man standing before him was given a look. He had been trained in assassin arts but could he kill a friend if he had to?]

You don't know them as well as I, but could you kill a member of the crew if no other choice was possible?

Action

[I haven't written anything in mine. The pages are as empty as when I got mine]

[What? Yeah... he had expected Haytham to be more ruthless than this. He was actually willing to try reason first?]

Yes. If they become hostile and we're unable to dissuade them, we'll have no choice but to end it before they can kill anyone themselves.

[Well.. Ratonhnhak:ton hadn't exactly befriended anyone on board yet. He'd been fairly difficult to approach- part of that reason being he had thought this to be a templar ship. He knew it wasn't one now, but he'd been careful up until now. So that would work in his favor if he ended up having to take anyone's life. Plus... he had considered George Washington a friend.. of sorts... so.. he would have killed him to if he had too]

That should not be a problem. I have seen others come under the control of another before... killing them is also a way of freeing them.

It would be a shame if no other option presented itself...

[So younger Haytham held more compassion for his enemies than his later more jaded self would have. ]

But, we must act for the good of the rest of the crew.

Action

[givemelee]

That sounds unusual, coming from you..

[.. but it’s a positive direction. You should keep to it]

I won’t allow anyone to endanger those that are not under this woman’s influence.

[So I’m with you 100%... oddly enough]
