Crushed and filled with all I found -
more, give me more, give me more
Jack's smile morphs into something far more wolfish than before. "An extra pair of hands, and whatever skills you're bringin' with you," he says, and I follow his eyes to a mighty ship with sails that looked dyed with old blood. He has my attention. He knows it, I know it. "That's the Ark," he murmurs. "She's mine, and she can always use more crew. Room and board in exchange for work, until you find your feet."
He winks, and I raise a single brow.
I'm not stuck. As much as it feels that way, I can walk away, head into the market and play it safe. Rely on myself, steal, perform, do whatever I need to do - I have done it before. But... but.
I have never been without my cousin before. I have never been alone.
An idiot. That's what I am for considering this. But I am alone, and I have no kingdom left to fight for - just a cousin to find.
"I have the impression that your dealings aren't as simple as trade," I say, keeping my spine straight. "What kind of risk am I running if I run with the captain of the Ark?"
