The Captain was quite lost for words, [i]how in the hell was any of this mess his fault?[/i]

Ok well he did kidnap Elissa..
but he’d been rather hospitable!

That wasn’t his fault.
They’d been having a great time..
How could he have known she’d get quite so upset? She liked him ok, sure, a lot of girls did but, usually he’d get a slap in the face or a tankard of ale over his head..
She’d expressed she didn’t quite like the dark..and, something about Bedlam you heard stories sure, but who knew what was true?

They arrived at the doors to the cabin which Joseph obliged them by opening, and they stepped inside, “Adam, I [i]was[/i] with her last night” he expressed in a hushed voice, “though, not like that” he took care to elaborate, “I told her yesterday she should stay here” he affirmed, he wasn’t upset by Adam’s order, but was perplexed how what he had already intended had gone so awfully wrong.

[i]Lying, what was she talking about lying?[/i]
