(D'oh! Forgot about this...right.)

"Wai...wh..." Kane said as Lucretia stormed away. He stared after her, and then began to follow her, limping along as usual, and said as cheerfully as possible "Coming!"

I didn't think getting a girl was this excruciating. Well...I suppose I did.... Kane suddenly stopped. Wait...I'm not trying to get h....damnit.

Kane sighed, and followed on.

She made it to the room and leaned against the door with her arms crossed as she saited for Kane to catch up. She then led him in and locked the door behind them. "Okay, close your ears." She then yelled as loud as she could. She yelled all sorts of absenadies. She then walked over to the bed and fell down onto it, so that she was laying on her back. "Might as well just kill me now, because if he doesn't, my crew will."

(Mood swings....got it.)

As Lucretia let out her decidedly loud scream, and the string curses which followed, Kane didn't move or flinch, he simply stared at her. Holy shit, where did this come from? After she was finally done, he slowly checked around the room to see if there was anything in particular that had a mother such as Lucretia had described. After completing this, he cleaned out one of his ears with his pinky, and said: "Right...wow, was that really necessary? Wait--no, don't answer that yet." Kane walked over to Lucretia and pulled up a small chair. "Ok, now once you calm down a bit, I'd like to to explain to me, with swearing, what exactly has you this...agitated. Calmly, if its not too much trouble. And thoroughly, my track record for interpretation isn't too hot."

Lucretia just layed there, staring that the ceiling. She then felt the tears rolling down her cheeks as she started to cry.

Now that is just unfair. Kane thought to himself. Seriously, low blow. Kane got up and sat down on the bed next to Lucretia. He wiped a few tears off of her cheek and said "Don't cry. Please, not only does it accomplish nothing, it makes me feel like I've been kicked in stones." He continued to stroke her cheek. "Tell me what I can do to help you. If you want me to leave, thats fine. If you want me to stay, I can do that. If you want me to die...I can certaily act like it....but please, don't cry."

She laughed a bit at his, if you want me to die... i can certainly act like it, statement. She then curled up into a little ball on the bed and looked up at Kane. "I can't do this. I don't want to do this anymore." She started to cry more..."I don't know what to do..."

Kane continued to wipe tears off of her cheek. "Well...if you don't want to do this any more, then don't. Call it a day and go home. Let it go, and realize that vengence will come to this man sooner or later....ok, my arm's going to cramp if I keep doing this." he stopped brushing her face and held one of her hands. "Right, ok. Trust me, you won't feel any better if you kill him. You might feel good when you see the look on his face when you kill him, but it won't last long. Mostly because you'll likely be following him shortly afterwards.

"And even if you survive, to what point did you murder him? He is just a man, after all. He is evil, you think? Perhaps, but you and I are certainly not pillars of virtue. He wronged you? Sure, he killed your family, but in your career of being a pirate, how many brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers do you think that you've killed?...or mutilated and tourtured?

"If you want my advice, its to go back home, and leave vengence to higher powers."

"...... that isn't all he did." She looked away from Kane, staring at a wall which held a sward. She looked at it closely.... That's the one he used to slay my family....
"I never slayed anyone. I've tried so many times, but i've never gone through with it. You were the alternative. I wanted to leave some kind of mark, so i started with you, and everyone i've captured afterwords had the same markings........" She then turned back towards him and reached up to his face, stroking his cheek. "Thankyou."

"...you're not going to take my advice, are you?"

She smiled again and closed her eyes. "I might think about it. Can you get my nightgown, it's over by the chair."
