Oh! Drama! Zechariah picked up the binoculars around his neck to gawp at the building Ward-on-Ward violence tossed across the wind. Then he caught sight of Alice’s husband, who looked suspiciously like the fellow he had not bothered to meet before zipping off an affirmative to him on the last minute.

Had he not spotted a man looking just like him, he would have been certain on his approach that it were time to flee.

Zechariah took Noah on for two reasons: one, he made the same mistake as Zechariah, but made his lover pay for it … and two, eh, he couldn’t really escape his request what with Zechariah knowing where he worked.

Extraordinary decision-making. So extraordinary it could not have been a more obvious choice if it smacked him right in the face! But there was Mr. Benjamin, shoving him down?!

His lip was pulled back in a disgruntled sneer before why swooped, quite literally, right over his head.

… And right into what he had thought was their second best sailor, now sailing face-first into the ocean.

“The-… lifeboats will handle that, yes?” he said, lowering his binoculars.

God damn it. Were they going to have to stop to pull up their second best sailor?
