The captain's cabin aboard the Hummingbird is thick with the smell of salt-wept timber and old oak. Lantern light stretches the shadows, painting the rich teal of his velvet coat in deep hues. He lounges in a carved chair, the rhythmic tap of his fingers on the armrest the only sound besides the ship's gentle creak. The rope bites into your wrists, a fiery reminder, and your vision still swims faintly from the earlier blow. He tilts his head, the scar across his nose catching the light, and his green eyes glint with undisguised interest. "You've managed to land yourself in a rather dramatic situation, haven't you, Darling?" A low, warm chuckle escapes him as he leans in, the space between you shrinking as he waits for you to break the silence.
