When everyone had returned to their own ages, it had been expected by some that things would return to some semblance of normalcy. Unfortunately, there had been a slight hiccup in that plan but by roughly the 7th or 8th that too was put right. The stop at Himmelin had also afforded the crew an opportunity to break into a new line of trading that should fill their pockets with dubloons given enough time and the right connections.

With this stroke of good fortune.. surely more was to come........

Haytham had never thought to hear such a strong sentiment from Captain Harlock or watch him share in the righteous anger all of those trying to stop Elissa's one-woman army from leaving the ship seemed to feel. He was not easily impressed but the small speech had done just that. Who would have thought he would agree so entirely with their pirate Captain?

Nothing could be said to Harlock at present of course, Elissa's haunted eyes and weak plea needed to be dealt with first. Let her go? She didn't belong here? These words were... heartbreaking, if he admitted to the feeling.

"Don't allow the actions one madman to make you forget all that you are..."

His hand dropped away from her arm, freeing her to do what ever she wished.

"Or all that has happened on this ship."

Was there nothing here she needed to stay for?

"None of us belong here," Hawke added, her voice quiet and serious. She glanced at the now-closed book, still hearing the screams in her mind; they mixed with other screams she'd heard. From the shadows that crossed the faces of her fellow crew-members while listening, some or all of them had similar things in their own history. From their own homes, before Davy Jones decided to haul them to this crazy place.

Hawke had chosen this ship, this crew, because she'd gotten the impression they didn't stand idly by when something went wrong. That called to her.

She looked back at Elissa. "But that doesn't mean that we're not needed. You included." She tilted her head towards the book. "We can't bring back those lives, but we can fight this madness."

The Warden's very first response was to Haytham as his words held special meaning. "I didn't mean it like that," she said to him with a faint, sad smile. Gently, she extricated herself from the others that held her, finally taking the time to actually pay attention to what she held. The tools were poor excuses for weapons, but she would have used them with righteous fury had she been able to travel to the Gilded Rose.

And what would that have brought? Retaliation would provoke another move in an endless cycle that would eventually bring harm to all of those aboard the Mistress. It was inevitable that Grell would seek out the crew in an effort to upset Elissa further. What if they learned her favorite island was Himmelen? What if they found out about Jonas and the children in the Corsair Kingdom? For the first time in a long time, Elissa was truly afraid - and felt helpless.

"I... need time to think. I'm sorry," she apologized before trying to brush past everyone to head below deck.
