Today is "Talk Like a Pirate Day." I feel like I ought to do something for that. On the other hand, all those "pirate" trappings are completely ridiculous. Hook hands make for very poor penmanship, for instance.

...why do you know this?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Because I tried it once. It wasn't my blood.

[youngestone]

Do I want to know why you were washing blood out of a dress?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I said it was silk. I didn't say it was a dress.

[youngestone]

What else would it be?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

There are plenty of things you can make from silk. Stockings, neckties, scarves, handkerchiefs, sweaters, shawls...

[youngestone]

But what would you be washing blood out of?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Killian. Think really hard about what you're asking. Now. Ask yourself: do you really want to know?

[youngestone]

[Blank stare]

Probably not, but I still don't get it.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

...let's just say that I don't always play nicely with others.

[youngestone]

...you know if you had stabbed someone and they bled on their silk shirt or whatever, you could've just said that.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Well, except...

You know, what? Yeah, sure. We'll go with that. That works.

[youngestone]

[A beat]

...Isabela, was this blood on sheets?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Of course not. That implies being considerate enough to use a bed.

[youngestone]

Okay, I'm not asking anymore. I don't want to know.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I knew you'd come to your senses. Smart lad.
