"He works for you," Millions repeats firmly. You mention safety and see a tiny flicker of worry in his eyes, but he tamps it down. "I understand there's danger. I trust you'll tell him what he needs to do. My son will learn the trade, Canary. He'll make us both proud. And yes, you're the captain and he will respect that."

I nod along as he talks, pause a moment. If I had to choose, I'd be on my own for good... but the connection here and the advantage to be had by it is hard to deny.

"We got a deal, then!" I extend my hand to shake on it, "won't be easy on 'im, but there's no finer boat on the water."

A smile spreads over Millions' thin lips and he rises to take your hand and give it a firm shake. "Good. I'm glad. Now, finish up your meal and I'll have someone escort you to the showers and secure a room for you. We're having a small get-together later - Dinero will be there. Are you up for a little gathering? It should be fun."

I smile and nod as we shake hands. He's got the confidence of a leader, but I have to admit, surprised how he seems to care about his boy. There may be a heart inside this man.

I sit to finish my meal, feeling out of place in my worn khakis and boots, but neverminding. This is delicious.

"I'll be there..." I answer through a bite, "would be best to meet my new mate before settin' sail." But a party? I try not to think about it.

As for sleeping here? That's... well... I try not to think about it.
