((*giggle* There goes Jack. . . .))
Fenris released the male . . . only to watch him climb back out through the high window. A frown darkened his features, and he glared at Scarlett. "Do you know him?" His grip on the rope tightened. He would mention the man first chance he got. Marquet would want to know about him.
That was when he shook his head and grasped the key to the door. "You're coming to the deck. I would suggest saying everything you know about the map and treasure before anything gets worse for you." His gray eyes narrowed, and he roughly caught Scarlett's wrists. The rope was rough against her skin as he bound her, taking no care to be gentle. "Your life isn't bad yet. It will be hell soon." He held her gaze for a moment, looking ready to beat her secret from her lips right then and there.
Unclasping the shackles that held her to her place, Fenris gave the rope a gentle tug that pulled Scarlett to her feet. "Move. Main deck. Now."

Feeling Codette help him to his feet, Joseph stared at the tossing sea before him. It wasn't a pleasant thought that the ground was far below the water. It wouldn't be easy to survive if the ship went down out here. Shivering, the teen turned his attention back to the woman beside him.
For many moments he fought the feeling of getting sick. The feel of having someone rub his back reminded him of his mother. She'd died many years prior after his family had been attacked. That was when Fenris found him. It truly did help, that bit of comfort. Sometimes it took a woman's touch to get a boy back in line. Fenris would have just ignored him. Laiden was glad to have someone who actually cared about his immediate sense of well-being.
By the time he looked back to Codette, he scented the ginger she offered to him. With a weak smile, Laiden took it. Mustering the most grateful expression he could manage, he chewed the bit of root. It certainly helped. So much so, that Joseph could relax. With a sigh, he leaned against the railing. Sending another smile full of gratitude in Codette's direction, Laiden risked a look out at the ocean again. This time his stomach felt stable enough to take it.
