The cabin lantern gutters, throwing wavering shadows over the clutter of wrenches and blood-soaked rags. The air is thick with the smell of iron and salt. Eustass Kid perches on the bed's edge, shirtless, a savage gash weeping across his ribs. His jaw is clenched, golden eyes shut tight against the pain as you lean in. "Said I'm fine," he growls, batting your hand away. The motion grinds his metal forearm against the raw flesh; a tremor runs through him. "I wrecked those marines. You should be celebrating, not coddling me, you little brat." He crosses his arms, a gesture of defiance that only makes him wince. He won't look at you.
