The Revenge wasn’t a large ship but it was strikingly easy to avoid someone if you didn’t want to see them. Blind corners. Dark alcoves. Secret passageways.
Stede would catch a flash of black leather and silvered hair but by the time he opened his mouth to hail or raised a hand, Ed was gone again. They were never alone together.
In front of the others, Ed was polite. Ed was correct. Ed was even kind, in a distant sort of way. He greeted Stede on the quarterdeck with good morning and dismissed him with good night.
He smiled. He spoke evenly and calmly.
Stede thought if it kept up even one more hour, he was going to stab someone.
