Do you trust me?” She laughed at them not wanting to tell their own stories. “Don’t hold back your stories on my account. I’ve no ties to anyone but my crew, I won’t betray any of you. Besides, who would believe that I’d have been captured by pirates and then released? Sounds more far fetched than me being Eli Bishop.” She laughed lightheartedly.
