He’s also not a knight in shining armour, he’s a pirate, and that’s all he’s known for a long time, he’s used to robbing people, fighting people, killing people, and general debauchery, he’s used to people being expendable, to himself being expendable, he knows Elissa knows something deeper and that they both mean something to one another, which is why he tolerates her quite fragile emotional states, and he does try to be kind, in his own way, but he’s not a hero, and he has a lot of flaws, as people do, but he isn’t cruel.

Just if you’re getting frustrated with him hahaha

I feel like Adam is giving him a particularly hard time about it hahaha
