[Erol is a light sleeper. And it's been a few days since his beating, so he isn't resting quite as heavily as he was. So the bump and scuffle that turns his comm on is the same that wake him up.
His hand is on the knife beneath his pillow before he's even fully awake, though his guard eases when he sees it's no threat. Just an annoyance.]

You got one as well...
[Zelda's laughing. It's soft, though. Gurgling children need to stay resting.]

[Erol's only pretending to know what she's talking about, and as he's hurting and sleepy, the act isn't as water-tight as normal - hesitation betraying his reserve.
He thinks he turned out fine.]
I must confess, I'm... not a particularly good match for either trait.
[Dammit, if the little beast ends up dead he'll have to hide it from her if he wants to keep this thing going. Of all the inconveniences.]

There is. And a rat - Daxter's here.
[If ever there was a name spat with more contempt and loathing...]

Daxter? Oh dear, that's not good at all.
[She's now fully expecting the captain to announce Erol has been thrown in the brig for murder any time now. Even though she doesn't hate Daxter quite as much as the others who captured Erol (hey, he's small, fuzzy, and charming okay?), she knows that Erol himself absolutely hates him. And a little rodent-person like Daxter can't look after a baby... oh dear, she might have to do a little adopting.]

No, it isn't.
It'll be a miracle if any one of us survives this, frankly.
[He's partially joking. After all, neither Daxter nor the baby are equipped to kill Erol.]

I don't know, okay?! I don't even know.

You didn't bring it with you?
... How did you get in here.
[For the moment, he's not moving to kill either one of them. This may or may not be influenced by the well-developed bruises that are visible on bare skin. There's a REALLY nice one that stretches from cheek to jaw on one side of his face, though he's somehow managed to avoid a black eye.]

This entire situation stinks of boat madness. Erol scowls and reaches for his comm.
Yes, there's a video post from Redd, and confused posts from several other passengers. Lovely.]
Bloody hell. Captain's doing.
