Will eyed the pirate woman closely. He noticed the bandage and slight limp. Good. That meant she would be easier to take out. He narrowed his eyes at her. "Doubtful. I make it a point to avoid pirates. Or kill them if I do run across them." He retorted. He had never seen her before and after he turned her in, he doubtfully wouldn't again. She'd hang, assuming he was able to capture her alive. Woman or not, she was a pirate. And therefore she had to have some skill in a mainly male dominated career. 

He watched her walk by. Frowning he drew his sword. "You're not going anywhere!" He declared taking a step toward her. His right hand held a sword of his own hand. He narrowed his eyes. "You'll find I'm more than capable of bringing you in." He kept his guard up. He had spent hours a day training to fight. He had learned everything he could - whether watching, asking, or just learning the hard way. He was more than confident that he could take her. "And the fact you are a woman doesn't bother me. I'll bring you in just the same. You're just as rotten than any other pirate."

He blocked her blow and parried back. A few exchanges like that and he could tell she was surprised a bit. Who would expect a smithy to actually know how to fight? He didn't reply at her comment on footwork, just fell in, keeping her in his sights. He parried again. "Yyou'll find I'm full of surprises." He told her confidently. "Though I don't expect you to just surrender, know that I will be taking you in - dead or alive." 

There was a slight venom in his tone and eyes. Woman or not, she was a pirate. He couldn't fathom why she would want to be one but now it didn't matter. He despised pirates in any form. Part of him was thrilled that he actually had her here. She would be the first pirate he would fight and would be the first to feel his revenge. His family would have justice. He would see to that.

"I'm fine!" Abigail was getting a bit annoyed with the smothering. She pulled the cloak around her as Elizabeth and the Governor escorted her back inside the mansion. The wet clothes were now bringing a slight chill, despite the warmth of the day. They were escorted by a group of guards for protection though the commodore was out making sure that the pirate was caught. Abigail hoped Vivienne escaped. She couldn't bare to see her rescuer hung. And being who she was, she would undoubtedly have to be there at the proceedings. It wasn't something she'd enjoy.

Back in the safety of her room, she sighed annoyed as her cousin helped her change. "She wasn't going to hurt me." She dropped her wet clothes aside and quickly dressed into dry ones. 

"You don't know that." Elisabeth was furious. She didn't take it out on her cousin but there was anger in her eyes at what the woman did. She loved her cousin but she also knew Abigail was a bit young and naive.

"Why save my life then?" Abigail countered.

"To use you as a bargaining tool." Elisabeth grabbed her younger cousin by the shoulders. "She's a pirate. And yes they are fascinating but they are dangerous. Come let's not speak of it anymore. I'm just glad you're safe."

Abigail let herself be pulled in a hug. She didn't continue the discussion at the moment but she would bring it up again at some point.
