Shooing away the messenger as I go back to sitting in my favorite sofa. Still waiting for Emiko to finish that tea and biscuts, as she is taking quite the long time. I will have to punish her for that, but first I ponder over how best to seduce one of the pirate, or both of them, in order to end their alliance. I guess the first thing to do is to find out where their lair is. Perhaps on their silly wooden boats, or somewhere near the docks.
