WHO: Zhi and Arthur and the rest of the crew (OPEN! FEEL FREE TO POP IN, GUYS)
WHEN: Wednesday, 22nd June, in the late afternoon
WHERE: In the skies above Albion, aboard the Alexandrina
WHAT: We're about to be in your ship, raiding your dudes.
(
Except for Zhi, he's grounded. )
“My ship,” Arthur replied simply. And that’s all he needed to say, really. It didn’t matter if it a command or a request (a polite command, really) made in jest or in sincere plaintiveness, this was his ship and he wouldn’t bend to anyone’s will but his own. But he hadn’t the time to rehash this argument again; there were certain pending matters that would shortly need his attention. He could just be on his way now, but leaving the boy in this state of mind was practically begging for something unfortunate to happen while he was gone.
“Now, will you inform me why you have the same expression that first night I brought you aboard this ship and get this over with, or will I have you drag it out of you in a method that will certainly be painful for us both?”

Zhi's eyes remained stubbornly fixed on the clouds, not bothering to even glance at his captain as he gave his curtly ambiguous reply. In all truth, he was actually surprised he had managed to avoid being thrown off the ship for so long, despite all his disrespect and distinct lack of manners.
...unfortunately for Arthur and the rest of his crew, all it had managed to do was encourage Zhi into further pushing his luck, and now what he was doing was simply waiting for Arthur to grow bored of nagging and leave him alone. Then, he'd be free, not for the first time, to experiment how well the wood of the ship reacted to handmade explosives.

“So, start talking or you will find yourself with a nanny to watch over you.” ...Now that he thought about it, that might actually not be a bad idea.

At the threat, he raised his head to give Arthur a long, exasperated stare, one that said where on Earth do you think you'll find a nanny on a pirate ship. "No," he repeated simply, and with that he looked back to the clouds once more.
