[Congratulations! You've just acquired a boat full of valuables. Either you filled your own boat with valuables, or you bought one, or whatever. SHIP FULL OF STUFF.

Of course when you go down into it, there's.. a lot of stuff missing. Coinage, jewelry, expensive liquor, anything that can be easily carried.

And the culprit is working his way out of a hole in the side of the ship, just barely large enough for him to fit through, and just barely above the water level.]

[Do you like fishing.

It's pretty relaxing, right. Well, when you pull in your line, there's a fucking kid on your hook, or in your neck.

Either way, he looks extraordinarily unhappy.

C

[Or whatever I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING.]

With interest.

Okay, okay!

[I don't want to know what the alternative is.]

Until you can make that money, I'm putting you to work.

Work doing what?!

Deckhand, cleaning chamberpots, scraping barnacles off the hull, concubine.

[Well that's not s-]

What was that last one.

That was concubine. If you want to earn a little extra money, that is.

I.

Guess.

I could do that.

We've had some fun, haven't we?

Y...yes..

[His memories of being thoroughly tentacled are slightly less so, but.]

It's just an option. If you want a little more cash.

Well, if it means you're paid back sooner...

Oh, I've really missed you. Such a tasty little morsel you are.

[Letting him go, but caressing his face with a tentacle.]

Do you really have to phrase it that way!

[It has bad implications for me!]

Please, Kangaroo, I am not a cannibal. Well, only on the octopus side.

It doesn't have to be literal to be an unsettling phrase.

[Not even bothering to correct her.]

Are you saying that my sexual appetite is too much for you? What a shame.

I didn't say that at all!

[Look at him

try and puff out his chest.]

Mm, such a good rival. The kind you fight and struggle with and who tries to beat you, but always finds his way back into your bed.

[And who has never, ever won.]

That's rivalry, too.

I should think so! I wish I could sleep with all of my rivals. Well, all of the attractive ones anyway.

[I hope some of them have better success ratios than me.]

At least we're agreed there.

[Alas, they do.]

Now then. We're still moored, and will be for the foreseeable future while your mistakes get fixed. What will I do with you?

I-I am sure I could. Find some way to make money.

I'll pay you extra for some sex if you'll fistfight me first.

[She is simultaneously irritated by his everything, vindictive, and also thinks he's being really cute right now.]
