Getting upstairs to begin cleaning, Hans filled his bucket with saltwater by the aid of a rope, and offered to fill up Elizabeth's while he was at it. In regards to her question he simply shrugged.<br/><br/>"One question at a time, I think. Let each answer be a reward. We have weeks on us to figure this all out, no point in being hasty."<br/><br/>He turns to his designated railing, and begins cleaning. Little did he know that he'd have to do this all day, but he never uttered a word of complaint. As long as he did what he was told, he was treated kindly, and at the end of the day, there was a solid, if somewhat bland, meal waiting for him. Over the course of the next few weeks, he got the answer to several questions.<br/><br/>The captain's name was Magnus Mad-arm, the first mate was Johnathan Kidsby, the chef was Charles Douglas, the midshipsman was William Katsbury, and the quartermaster was Peg-leg Jacob. He also learned that the ship was called The Wanton Widow, and most of its crew had lost something improtant to them, and wanted to reclaim their fortune. He learned that the cannon was in fine working order, but most of the swords and pistols were getting rusty. He learned that the chef, Charles, had once had a lover in the Ottoman Empire, but she was married to some local merchant. He learned that Peg-leg Jacob had lost his foot not in battle, but rather to the bite of a rabid dog. He learned that the first mate was far preferred by the crew than the captain.<br/><br/>And most importantly, he learned that some in the crew were plotting mutiny.
