It would appear we lost track of time. Until I know what you’re going to say to the men, I can’t let you say anything to the men. Had I stayed another day, I’m not sure they would’ve let me leave. It must be something approaching perfection. I’ve never sailed with a captain this particular before. He’s stubborn, but he ain’t stupid. Everything that’s ever been wort doing has always been worth doing in the face of a little danger. They hang men for this! He’s the closest thing I’ve had to a father. This is too important not to try. While you’re gone? Where are you going? It’s too great of a force to defeat. The only way to defeat it is to cut off it’s head. Do you know how to keep a secret between three men? I am asking you to come with me, so I can save your life. Be grateful it didn’t happen on the gallows! This ends quietly, permanently and in a manner of my choosing. I understand this is very important to you, but I can’t work like this. Sooner or later, you’ll need to let me go. You left me here because I wasn’t your son! You are making real what was for decades a fantasy. It’s entirely of your own making, and it’s miraculous. You’ve proven me so very wrong. This is too important to put all our fates in the hands of one man. I think that I have made my intentions very clear. What the fuck do you think I’m fighting for?! I think you’re fighting for the sake of fighting! The only thing that I’m ashamed of is that I didn’t try to save him when we had a chance.
