Kai gave Ratte a confused look at her mention of this 'whore' house possibly ruining him. He would have to ask what that word meant at a later time, but considering the violence and gore had been exposed to as he was growing up, he wondered what could be so frightening about the place that would cause her to think he could not handle it. He was curious to know what could be more traumatizing than witnessing the eradication of his old crew, if it truly was so, though, the harbor sounded really appealing to him. It was no secret to the rest of the group that the boy enjoyed being near the water.

"We could stay by the harbor?" He repeated excitedly. "I would be interested to have a look there as well."

After getting the approval of the adults, Kai threw the trapdoor open and slipped in. The moonlight flooded in, allowing most of the area to be visible. However, the teen was so focused on doing what he had to do quickly that he paid no attention to the pitch-black corners of the room. He was startled by the sudden sound of the trap door slamming shut, and the place immediately turned dark. He then hardly had the time to make any sense of what had just happened before he was grabbed.

The struggle was aggressive but short, for Kai had managed to reach for his cutlass and drive it into the flesh of one of his attackers. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he took the opening he had created to break away from them and scrambled over to the stairs leading to the tavern counter. He could hear them pursuing him as he did so, and there was no guarantee that he would make it out in time. With that in mind, the boy whipped out his pistol and pointed it at what he could now make out as one man and one woman, hoping to goodness that they would not figure out that it was not loaded.

"S- Stay away from me!" He snapped at them, trying to hide his agitation as he prepared to bolt up the stairs and out the door.
