Summary
The man was a lunatic. He’d never seen anything or anyone like him. Edward was fascinated, utterly enraptured. He traced his fingers (lightly) over the jackets hanging in rows while Stede struggled into clean trousers behind him. Blue, purple, yellow… some of the colors he didn’t have names for! This one was smooth, and he jerked his hand away when a rough spot on a callus snagged the fabric slightly. That one was almost fuzzy, like the belly of a newborn kitten. This one had a varying texture, some bits raised and rougher with other bits more slick, in a kind of diamond pattern. Amazing!
So after that, back in the main cabin, when Stede knew who he was (he looked terrified for a moment, and Edward had smiled to see it, to see that he still had it, that this man was human after all) and Edward--Blackbeard--had admitted he didn’t see the point in piracy anymore (the point in life anymore, he didn’t say), it just came out.
“Do you want to do something weird?”
