I will bear it. Ability has nothing to do with it. If that's what's needed, then I'll do it. I think that has to be the way forward, because I'm not willing to keep my hands and heart clean at the expense of the lives of everyone else.

Good.

( it's not good, nothing here is good, but so far as assessing allies and making sure they were all on the same page — )

First time we met, I didn't think you'd have that in you, and I can't tell you how happy I am to have been proven wrong.

The first time we met, I also didn't think I had it in me.

The island changed a lot of my calculations, I think. And my offer stands. I don't think we succeed by trying to carry any of this alone. It's all I can think that we have on the Captain: numbers, and the ability to work together.

We need more than that, though. Numbers can't be all it takes, he's had countless people here before us. Magic can't be all there is either, he's literally brought gods to heel. And I don't know if every single person here will ever work together — some seem inclined to cruelty, and others are either content with life on board or just plain selfish.

We at least, at least need the element of surprise.

Creativity and distraction. I think that's the only reason he let me hit him, it wasn't a sword or spear or gun.
