At Tasia's self deprecation Alex grinned. "It happens. I lost the Crimson Sakura once, whilst staying at an inn in Antigua. I thought I'd put it in my jacket pocket but it wasn't there. Turns out I'd left it in the room of a guest that I'd been, um, entertaining.", he said this with a confusingly serious face.<br/><br/>"Anyway, this kind of self-criticism isn't befitting of the daughter of the infamous Blackbeard". He waited for the statement to sink in. "Don't worry, we're all friends here, well Blackbeard wasn't a friend. I can't honestly say I liked him, but I am sorry for your loss".<br/><br/>When Tasia saw where they were headed and asked if he was mad Alex winked at her. "Do you really need me to answer that question? Getting close aren't we? Decision time. Do you want to take the rowboat or stay aboard the ship?"<br/><br/>Sailors were preparing to lower a small boat into the water, as the ship itself began to slow down.
