☠ ➳ BLACK SAILS; IX.
send one for my muses reaction!
❝ They say the reality of the place is far more interesting than the myth. ❞ ❝ Fuck those men. Fuck them for their shortsightedness. Fuck them for their ingratitude. ❞ ❝ We should be cutting your goddamn tongue out for all the lies you’ve told us. ❞ ❝ Perhaps my lack of education is showing. ❞ ❝ Where the fuck were you today? ❞ ❝ Don’t be sorry. Do your fucking job. ❞ ❝ If your friends aren’t capable of protecting themselves, then I argue they aren’t worth protecting. ❞ ❝ Stop telling me what it is you think I think. You sound fucking ridiculous. ❞ ❝ At a certain point I will remove you from this place, no matter what the consequences. ❞ ❝ How is it you see such a partner in him and such a villain in me? ❞ ❝ Civilization needs its monsters. ❞ ❝ When I came here, I had nothing but my name and my wits. A man in a place like this surviving on those two things alone he suffers indignities, slights, ridicule. ❞ ❝ Tell me, though, how many men do you think you can safely lure into the wrecks to their deaths? ❞ ❝ You almost got us killed for a fucking bauble. ❞ ❝ We’re both better off now than we were two minutes ago, yet you’re angry about it because it didn’t happen your way. ❞ ❝ Might you consider for a fucking moment that your distrust of me is completely unwarranted? ❞ ❝ Brace yourself, but I’m the only person within a hundred miles of here who doesn’t want to see you dead. ❞ ❝ Stay out of my fucking business. Consider this the only warning you’re ever gonna get. ❞ ❝ If we are all going to make something of this place, perhaps it is in everyone’s best interest that you and I find a way past all of this, past your anger towards me. ❞ ❝ Still, it is unthinkable to me that someone this beautiful is forced to spend her nights alone. ❞ ❝ If you’re anything like me, you simply cannot abide a liar. ❞ ❝ So what am I good at? This is going to sound absurd, but I make the men feel better about themselves. ❞ ❝ It would be a shame to make enemies of each other over such a small amount of money. ❞ ❝ There’s a feeling one gets when in the presence of the truly great men. It’s something quite indescribable. ❞ ❝ The great men don’t give up that pursuit. They don’t know how. And that is what makes them invincible. ❞ ❝ If your interests and mine were adverse to each other, there’s a good chance I’d cross you to save myself. ❞
