That I am, when the situation calls for it. [He snorts softly, because it's not true. He's not very gentlemanly like at all most days.
He could be worse, but he could be much better, too.
Her unladylike actions don't bother him none. He's spent more time thinking Mary was some bastard son, and even knowing she has a pair of teats under that shirt of hers, it doesn't particularly make her any different to him. Except for the fact that he's aware that she's a woman. That's awkward.
His jaw squares for a moment as he grits his teeth.] What does a man need of a full house when his life is at sea? My bed is plenty warm if I need for it, and my conscience... Well I wouldn't be a pirate if I listened to voices telling me 'no', Kidd.
[There it is again, that look, like she wants something more out of him than he's willing to give her. He can't be better, can't be the kind of man she wants to see. He is just fine, doing as he pleases. That's why he became a pirate, after all. A mood settles over him as he glares at his glass.] Fight for the globe, she says. Is what I do not good enough? What do my reasons matter if I am still helping you and your creed?
