[The less anyone knows, the better, because he wants to give his friends as much plausible deniability as possible. Just in case this goes terribly wrong, and Edward doesn’t make it out of this alive.]
Not everyone is here, yes. I don’t think I could fit them all on the Jackdaw, and at least one is afraid of water. I’ll not put him through that more than I must.
[Oh. Good. He’ll still fret, because he cares so much for these people that his heart leaps into his throat at the very thought of losing any of them, but. It’s good to know he has another ally he can count on.]
Well. Thanks, mate. Captaining comes natural to me. [All bluster and bravado, that, as he puts the hat back on.] Most call me Captain Kenway, shadow of the West Indies. [This is just the start of the spiel he uses for the tour group, but then it veers into a more genuine direction:] But for you, my friend, you can call me Edward.
[ he laughs softly, the smile on his face growing wider at the introduction. there is a good man under all of that bluster and bravado, a man who cares deeply for those around him-- a sentiment that jing yuan understands better than most. there were few people he had felt so deeply for until he arrived in this city. before his past life caught up with him. before the red threads of fate wrapped themselves around him so tightly he no longer knew which way to tread.
now he is caught in those threads, his heart bursting with emotions that are both his and not his. the desire to protect those dear to him gripping his heart in a vice grip. truly, edward could not have picked a better man to ally with. ]
It is a pleasure to meet you, Edward. You may call me Jing Yuan as I am afraid I no longer hold any grandiose titles like Captain or General. [ although he finds he would not be adverse to general. ]
