your bright eyes are gonna kill me for sure
Your work is done with an unsurprising amount of success, and if there's a couple little designs carved into some of the planks (and perhaps coded messages for Jack), well, who's gonna blame you at the end of the day?
Then the girl - Aurelia - is off to rescue poor Melita, and more power to the pair of them. Your ego is small enough to know that an old man with a bum arm will be no help to two spry young women, so you leave them to your devices and set off to mend sails. Again, not a skill that the uninitiated might expect, but anyone worth their salt who works on a dock is good with a needle and thread. There's always something to fix up, and depending on others is a good way to render yourself swiftly obsolete.
