[Action] 3/3

[A sad wry grin, more bittersweet than not.]

I still haven't forgiven him and Thatch for leaving me, eh?

It's not like they wanted to or made that active choice, but still...

Sometimes I tell myself it's just until it hurts less, but I don't want that pain to go away either. Because it'll mean forgetting how much it means to me. How much they still mean to me.

Selphie isn't fragile, but she's not an idiot either. I didn't make her second mate just for her sake or even just for mine. I won't ask you to trust her decisions, because if you don't, you don't, but assume there's more to them than meets the eye.

And if you were already doing that but playing along for the sake of our foes, then my apologies. But that's not a good tactic. Not with her, not with pirates. If they sense a weak spot they'll seize on it like sharks to blood. And maybe you meant to protect what you thought was one with telling her to calm down, but trust me, that isn't where her scars lie. Besides, I'd rather draw out every foe we can than leave them to wait in the shadows, eh?
