your bright eyes are gonna kill me for sure
The lass takes her time standing up, and while you have some sympathy for her plight (it's embarrassing to fall on your ass no matter the circumstances) she's gonna have to learn to live with making a fool of herself. "Aye aye, Cap'n," you reply to Jack in a sardonic tone so devoid of any respect or deference it might as well be cellophane.
Looking back to the fallen girl, you raise a brow, softening a bit as she takes your hand. "Don' mind him- turns into a right princess if he spends more'n a day on dry land." Again, there is no attempt to keep the captain from overhearing. "Name's Zeph. I stay on land and handle the adult side'a things."
Introductions done and formalities over, you head back to work replacing boards, directing the girl to areas you've yet to start in on. And if they're the slightly shittier areas, well. Gotta make sure the newbie is worth her weight in salt.
