Chains are ready for boarding the enemy vessel, Captain, to clap those rogues in irons. Or do we make 'em iron? Questions, questions. ::tucks **Quervo** into her cleavage to keep him out from underfoot during the battle:: ---

> [@The Unkempt One](#): > > Wait, wait, wait! Does this mean that I will only be concubining for one person? That’s not what I signed on for. I fully expected to service an entire ship full of lonely ladies. I don’t know if I can be tied down to only one lady pirate. This entire ship needs me! Don’t waste me like this! Just a damn second **Unkept** , you cheap tramp. I’m the ship whore. This is MY corner. Find yourself another ship to work before I scratch your eyes out. ---
