( the coin nathan gave him, the weight of the history in holdin' it. the story that came afterwards. he's drawin' more an' more to an obvious conclusion. )
Piracy, huh?
( his generation was all the more closer to it, an' there'd been plenty of folk romanticizing it even then. ain't many souls who don't appreciate a good robin hood parable, after all. but the real men were often murderers an' thieves. sometimes those were the least'a their crimes. as he'd told nathan, he ain't ever met but a few pirates — includin' one eerie experience he had aboard the monterey involvin' the ghost of one that'd drowned at sea — but he saw the toll they took on the carolinas in the ghosts there, an' is of a disposition besides that tends to nearly always side with the common folk besieged by such a thing.
but it ain't his job to judge. he understands just as well, the desperation inherent in turnin' to such a life. )
How'd that come about?
( despite his personal reservations on the matter, he ain't never passed by the opportunity to learn about what folks have a passion for. )
