"What's that ship fly doing in the galley?" David raised his voice mockingly as he circled around Thomas Dunning. Thomas sat up, chewing his dinner, and ran his fingers through his light brown hair. "Why ain't he in the brig?" Dunning opened his mouth to speak but,

"Dave, sit down, shut up, and eat." Ara ordered him. David looked back at Lang who snickered and then he turned back to Ara. "Don't talk to me like you're my father." He said.

"No, you killed him already. That's no death threat to me." She looked back down at her meal and kept eating, Thomas cautiously following until a sharp drag on his shoulder pulled him off the bench and knocked him to the ground. Thomas then kicked The back of David's knee, causing him to buckle and fall. Ara rested a bandaged cheek in her hand and the galley went into an uproar as the men began to fight.

"Come on, David! Kill the copper!" Jon yelled with Emmet chanting behind him. Let them fight it out, that was the rule unless one was significantly at disadvantage like with Zachary and Ezra. Soon, Ara's view was crowded and she stood up and left the galley. They'll be fine. She leaned against the net that attached down from the balloon and stood, thinking, when a young woman in a halter dress and corset emerged from the Captain's study.

"Arabella," she called over. Ara sat up confused.

"Who are you?" She asked, and the woman leaned on the netting next to her.

"It's me, Victoria. Ship's medic? We've only met while you've been unconcious." The thin woman smiled. Ara thought for a moment. Since when did they have a damn medic? "I've been here since I was kidnapped four years ago from the university. Pirates get wounded too." She rang jokingly.

"Have you always been at my disposal?" As asked.

"No, I only heal those on the brink of death since I don't want lives on my hands but I still hate everything your captain stands for and all. Right right, well it was a lovely chat but," gun fire rang from the galley and Captain Charlotte's door swung open, staring at the galley and then looking to Ara.

"Ara, check on the spiders." She then looked to Victoria who glared back. "Take that one with you."
