But no. No, the kid was here and now she had to deal with it. In fact, this time she wanted to deal with it, instead of delegating it to one of her 'usual' officers. It didn't help that her 'usual' officer for these kinds of matters was currently on a lifeboat headed for Kropmork. Sigh. She couldn't win even now, could she?
Her footsteps rang loudly as she stomped down the hallway. It was best to get this over with. They could probably drop him off the next time they made port somewhere. Best to let him know now what he should and shouldn't talk about when they did.
She stopped in front of the door to the holding room. There was a small window with bars across it, and she peered inside at the boy. Was he playing cards? Whatever.
"Hey, kid!" she yelled to get his attention.

"You're speaking to her," Isako replied curtly, "and you'll eat when I say you can eat." For now, she didn't address the 'getting thrown over the ship part.' No, she wasn't about to do that (lucky for him, she was in a good mood), but that didn't mean she couldn't let him think that was what she could do.
"Besides, this is your own fault. If you had stayed out of the way you wouldn't be here right now. So you can deal with your stomach for a bit longer. More importantly, why did you get in the way? Do you have a death wish?"

"Anyway," she continued, crossing her arms and giving him another glare, "The problem is figuring out what to do with you now." She seemed to muse over it for a moment. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood. I probably won't kill you right away, as long as you don't do anything stupid."

Listening to her talk, Allen mentally prepared himself for the worst. Apparently, the worst wasn't to come yet...possibly not at all if he didn't do anything rash. As if I would do anything stupid....Aside from getting caught in a raid and dragged onto a pirate ship.. Pushing his thoughts aside, he looked up at her and kept his voice even. "It's not like I'm going to start a fight whilst I'm surrounded by pirates. And why am I a problem? You can just let me go the next time you make port, then I'll be on my merry way." If you don't raid the next ship I join

"Good," she said quickly to make sure he wouldn't start talking again, "You get it perfectly, then. We'll keep you here until we make port again and then you're gone."
She paused for a moment, thinking. "You said you were hungry, right? Well, you're not getting anything for free. If you're willing to work, I'll keep you alive."

At the hint of food, Allen visably perked up and he felt his stomach rumbling again. If he hadn't been so keen on food (and staying alive in general) he might have made a snarky comment, but he held his tongue and gave a nod. He didn't mind working, it certainly beat being cooped up in here for the next week or so. The only problem was that he had little experiance beyond his few weeks aboard the merchant ship. "...Fine. What do you want me to do?"
