After Victor left the room, I glared at all the innocent-looking girls.
"Alright, what did you do to Corbit?" I asked them.
"Baby, I swear it wasn't us," Lesha said, coming over to , and taking my hand, uck this damn woman!
It was like she was the hard rock that was always there with her love to blunt my sharp anger. I cooled and waited for the rest of the explanation.
"I was actually Captain Jas Nobby! You should have been there, K!" Gloria said jokingly.
"Yes, who would have thought that the crotchety old pirate was a romantic," Trinity said with a giggle.
"What? Jas? Since when did you all get on a first na basis?" I asked curiously.
I was completely cooled now and nothing but intrigued to hear what happened. I started to get undressed, and the other girls to the hint, and started as well as they took turns giving different accounts of what happened.
"After you and Alana left, the Captain marched over to Corbit with a chair that he made him sit on. After that, he started to walk around him telling him stories of all the won he has courted in his life!" Mie explained, and Gloria snorted.
"There were a good two hours of tales and by the ti he was done I thought he would have started making a track. Then he stopped in front of the now grinning Corbit," Gloria said as she pulled up her bikini briefs, but Candi spoke up in an imitation of the Captain.
"So boy, what do you think? Fantastical stories right? WRONG! Do you see what I am doing right now? I am on a boat with no wife and a bunch of half with what I call my family! Why? Because I was more concerned about having fun than having a real-life with a loving wife!" Candi barked out, but Alana was starting to look red now, realizing what had actually taken place, and why.
"After that he started to explain how to treat a woman, the entire ti screaming that if it wasn't truly his na wasn't Jas Nobby! I have to admit, it was so pretty good lessons. Though Gloria and I were held at whip by the other two to listen along," Trinity joked, and Gloria rolled her eyes, and I laughed, but then Lesha poked .
"Don't laugh, you would have been listening as well! I took so notes for you and I will share them later!" Lesha giggled as she wrapped her arms around and lted into my side.
Everyone was changed, so we all filled out to the main deck, but I broke away from the group after giving Lesha a kiss. I turned and held up to the Captain's deck where he was always yelling orders from.
"So, I hear you had a world, my boy," I said walking up to the back of Captain.
He was turned and facing the stern, looking out at the ocean. He didn't speak until I joined him at the railing.
"Boy needed a good talking to, and your herd of hens wasn't to ones for the job! Lonely life hoping from shit to ship, if you know what I an. I didn't think he was headed for the sa path, but I could see the way that girl just adores him, and it made think of my own life and the choice that I made to bring to this ship here today," the Captain explained to .
"I am glad you did it. I thought that the girls had done it to him and I was upset, but if it was you then I am only thankful to you. You are right, a woman is not ant for the job," I said while smiling out at the open ocean.
It was just past noon and I was starting to get hungry, but then Jas spoke up again, but this ti he turned to . The Captain stood up straight and put a hand to his chest, surprising, and confusing .
"What you just did with that little girl I knew the useless things that called themselves her parents. You're more than just sothing special, and I can faithfully say with what I have seen. I know that you could have done a better job than I could have ever dread with that boy, and you have. The kid understood right away what I was trying to say, and that's because he has such wonderful role models," The Captain said while looking directly in my eyes.
I felt my chest swell with pride for that, but I held it down. I knew that I was trying to create a better environnt for the girls and other kids.
Still, hearing it from soone like Jas really ant sothing. It ant that what I was doing mattered, and I couldn't hold that pride back.
"Thank you, Jas. That ans a lot coming from you. It's nice to see that what I am doing is having a noticeable effect," I said, but then the Captain snorted at .
"Noticeable effect? K, you are the hottest topic even on the water, and ship Captains have started to curse your na! The best mbers of the ships are coming together to co to join your Guild! The wave of change that you have already made by removing the Ground Pounders and that idiot Granvel has made you a symbol in this city of Piast. You are the guild light that people are starting to look to and feel sothing no one has felt in over half a year, hope," Jas told .
"Alright old man stop tooting my horn or I'm going to smack you if I turn red!" I joked, but I wasn't kidding about turning red.
I had no idea that what I was doing was already starting to have such a profound effect on the populace already. I rember hearing about this city before now, and I was now fully committed to my cause.
I would wipe the stain of Dyster from Piast and return its rightful na.
