Or it's another lie they tell us to give us hope that we will be released.

That's more likely.

[She gives him a crooked grin.] I don't think I'm very good at consoling people.

[Simon laughed quietly.]

It's a skill one needs time to develop, for sure. And there's no good way to break this sort of news, so I completely understand.

Yeah.

[She fidgets for a moment, then sighs.] The other bit of news is that apparently I'm now Captain. You're the only one on board that's been here longer than me. You okay with that?

[Simon blinked at that, then gave a genuine smile.]

Congratulations. And honestly, I understand... I'm not sure I would have enough of an air of authority for this crew.

I'm not altogether sure there's a lot of authority to be had. [But she grins, because he's smiling so it's probably okay.] I guess we'll see how we go.

I think you will be great.

[Heh.] Thanks.

I mean, I do like to boss people around.

And more importantly... you do look out for others. Help them and get them help and support when they need it- like the times you've brought the injured to me.

That's bossing them around, isn't it? [But she grins anyway.]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[That got a laugh out of him.]

True, but you do it out of a genuine desire to help them.

You're welcome. If there's anything I can do to help... I don't have any captaining experience, but still.

You and me both. [But she's navigator to a pirate crew, and that requires a certain amount of authority in any case.]

Your advice is always useful, especially as someone who's been here so long. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

[Simon nodded.]

It's one of the only perks of having been here for such a long time- at least I know a bit more about this place.
