Secret Meetings

I stood there in the light of the fire and watched this Meghan Plunderette come to a halt as soon as she spotted me. With a dagger in hand she looked ready to take on an army! I chuckled to myself that aye, this wench does have the nerve to take down the master if she is willing to take on me!

As I began to slowly walk around the fire to her I saw Meghan back up switching the dagger from one hand to the other and back again. "Do you plan on using that on me?" I asked. "I don't know . . . are you friend, thief, or foe?" she answered back warily. "I am known as Kani to some and to others The Sea Goddess. I am not a thief that is for sure so that leaves friend or foe." "Well? Which are you then?" she responded back with less trepidation in her voice. "Hmmm . . . I guess that depends on one thing." I stated as I grasped my cutlass a little tighter.
"And that is?" she asked. "If that is your friend out there hiding in the darkness." I said.

"What? Where? Who?" she quickly asked as her eyes scanned the darkness outside the perimeter of the fire. "So you know not who that is out there hiding like a coward?" I asked of her. "No! Of course not! Why would I?" she quickly snapped back.

I eyed her warily as I drew closer to her. I don't trust easily and I never let my guard down. This may explain why I have very few friends in this life. The Lord and Master says that is part of the problem with me aside from my quick viper's tongue and that is I don't let anyone in. Aye, that may be true but I was once betrayed by three people who I considered to be my friends. Those three tried to take me out of the pirate's guild where I was once second in command. And because of that act of betrayal I was forced to serve my Lord and Master, John Goldsmythe.
