Mediate
Bootstrap wondered just when he had become the crewman in charge of keeping the cabin boys from attempting to kill each other.
Bootstrap eyed them. They were ignoring him in favor of glaring at each other. “You do realize that you will be on this ship for ninety-eight years together, right?” he asked.
“What does that mean?” Eli asked, startled.
Bootstrap sighed. “It means that you will both be serving on this ship for the next ninety-eight years. That’s a long time to hold a grudge.”
Will frowned, considering. Eli scowled in thought. Good, maybe they’d both listen this time.

Just a quick note- everyone thinks "Eli" is a boy, still.
