Heh, ok good...if a guy did it, I doubt they'd have as careful hands as you. You certainly did a much better job than I would have doing it myself... [of course Arthur would probably be good at it since he could see clothing, he thought. But he'd still rather Faye do it... He didn't like the idea of showing pain and weakness in front of the first mate.]

He doesn't like the idea of the race huh? Wonder why not...well, actually I probably know. Competition between pirates practically encourages fighting, that's probably why. The guy should learn to enjoy a good brawl...it doesn't always have to be about killing. I guess it's a good thing he's got such morals, though. If he let himself like violence too much, he'd probably be dangerous around a full moon.

[he raised an eyebrow at her proposition] hmmm... I guess we could do that.... Maybe [he started thinking about it a bit. He wasn't so sure she'd like his request at first and would rather have her looking ahead in anxious curiosity than dread. He was confident she'd like it eventually but yeah... We wasn't getting his hopes up for a positive reaction when he first told her]
