“I should really be getting back to the ship”

“Just rest a while”

“The sun is setting… the mates will expect me.”

“Oh, never mind that… here, look in the mirror… look how well rested you look. Just think how well you’ll look if you stay longer?”

“They do treat me like I’m nothing but a bilge-rat on the ship… maybe just a bit longer?”

“Sure.. I’ll finish braiding your hair and then we’ll try this nice top, yeah?”

“I… I’d like that.”
