While Jones appreciated the feeling behind Siobhan’s apology, he actually [i]didn’t[/i] want her to do that. The doctor was counting on the element of surprise to be able to hit Redwell when it mattered and now that was shot to hell. Jones was now irritated and worried that he would have to fight any stragglers left on the ship who might’ve realized what happened. In fact, he was so distracted by this that the fact that Siobhan was a half-fishwoman barely registered to him.

...except that the crew members were too beat up and Redwell was too angry to notice, so Jones just gratefully continued to get closer to the combat.

“Red Blade! Damn you, whore!” Redwell yelled, squeezing the hilt of the broken sword. Now a small dagger blade came out where the big sword used to be, covered in what appeared to be a kind of poison. He then charged forward, attempting to stab Siobhan with the weapon.
