Willow listened as the Captain spoke in response to Elric.
"Mr. Rolance I promise that I will do everything to bring the Princess back alive and well. It is obvious that we are both working towards the same goal. Let us forget what has just transpired here a try to start anew. If you would be as so kind as to accompany me to my cabin. And Miss Whitmoore, would you also please join us as well. Mr. Thomas, please get them back to their duties and get the Surgeon up here to look at these two men and make sure they are taken care of. I want to here how they are doing as soon as I am done with Miss Whitmoore and Mr Rolance or after an hour if we take that long." He then turned and led the way into his cabin. Willow followed suit.

She thought to herself as she followed into the cabin. She thought about the Captain, about Elric, about the situation. The more she thought about it, the more the pirates seemed the better off. They were in the cabin now. Elric was seated, he said something but Willow wasn't paying attention. She took a seat this time, to the left of Elric. Before the captain could address what Elric had said, she spoke up, attempting humor in this grim situation.
"Captain inviting me back into his cabin, and with pretty Elric here. The crew's going to talk." She smiled a dry smile and sat back in her chair.
