Like a damned hydra. [He lifts up a hand, turns it up to look down at the hidden blade, snug in its housing. It's as sharp as it's going to get, now.] I have a plan, for if she does show up on the ship anyway despite everything I've tried. I imagine so does everyone else who's had to endure her self-righteous shite.
[He's seen just how capable everyone else on the app is. If she pisses off any of them he's sure she'll be unrecognizable when her body turns up, but that's if.]
So far, though, she's been careful. I think she's well aware we want her dead, and she'll not make it so easy for us to do so. [He lets out a breath, lets his hand drop.] Most people I've met here are more than capable of such an act, I'm more than capable, but I've people to protect. I know that's the same for the rest.
The only way for any of us to make it out of this predicament, of watching and waiting, is for her to make a move. And knowing her, that'll spill blood.
[He hesitates.]
...the Jackdaw's decks have seen more than their fair share of blood. I don't want that first move to be made here, on my ship, upon my crew, my friends. I'm the captain—I've a duty to protect them.
