Elissa took his hand and stood on wobbly legs. “I would prefer to stay with you, so long as your room has windows. That’s another reason I escaped, the room you put me in had no windows, not even a tiny one. I don’t do well in rooms like that.” She said, a troubled look coming to her face as a hated memory resurfaced. Elissa gave a shudder and shook her head. “I need to be able to know if it is day or night. I can’t be locked up without a window, not again.”

Elissa looked up at him, a slight blush coloring her cheeks as he called out her lie. “No, you don’t have to worry about them, but you might have to worry about my crew.” She admitted. “There’s only five of them, but they’d move mountains to save me. You can’t find a more loyal bunch. I know they don’t stand a chance against you and your men, but I don’t think that would stop them from trying to save me. I’m the only one that can stop them. If you promise not to harm them, then if they try to come to my rescue I’ll tell them to back off and I’ll stay to help you get your ship back. You aren’t the only one who has a score to settle with my father.”
