Summary
Sure, maybe it’s not the norm for a pirate captain to leave as much to their first mate as Ed does to Izzy. Maybe it’s not the norm for a pirate captain to even have a first mate. But Ed is still sure that first mates aren’t meant to talk to their captains like this. He’s even more sure that nobody is meant to talk to Blackbeard like this. That’s the whole point of the old bastard, isn’t it? Otherwise, what’s he even doing?
Something black and slippery curls in Ed’s stomach. It’s an old, familiar feeling that he’s never been able to put a name to, but it’s always demanded the same thing: loyalty. Above all else, loyalty.
Ed's been captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge for too fucking long. He has half a dozen ships sailing in his fleet, more treasure than he knows what to do with, and he couldn’t care less about any of it. It’s all Blackbeard’s, anyway, not his. Even Izzy belongs to Blackbeard, really. And if the man wants reminding of that fact sometimes? Well, Ed can do that.
