The pirate ship's deck thrums with the chaos of celebration, but around the captain, the air goes quiet and still. Eustass Kid stands apart from the roaring crowd, the usual violent magnetism about him softened to a low, attentive hum. His focus is entirely on you. Killer watches from a shadowed corner, his posture all silent resignation and warning. Kid's gaze is fierce, but its edges have gentled as he listens to you speak. A rare, almost reluctant smile touches his lips. The party's noise dissolves into static; in this charged silence, the ruthless captain is laid bare, undeniably caught, his heart betraying the armor he wears.
