Vane's brows lift, and he's sure some people might be completely fine with that - the world dying around them and deciding how long you feel like watching it. At least, he's assuming she retains the ability to commit suicide when she's had enough.

That point of the discussions's neither here nor there, and Vane assumes, hardly part of what she came here to talk to him about, so he gives her a vague shrug, agreeing to disagree on immorality for the time being, and listens to the rest aptly. Not going back to where you're needed, yeah, he could sympathize with that. Half the time Vane spends sleeping on this ship, he's thinking of just sailing it out in the night, going back to hunt for Jack and Anne. But he'd given his word, so here he is.

"Good. Make them fight you for it." Their stupid ass towers. What complete bullshit. "And you, what, want help should it come to that?"

Still on the 'why are you telling me this' part.

He can understand the difficulty in this, for her. Vane would have a difficult time himself, if he'd even let himself take the blow to his pride to ask for help.

Lakshmi's been forthright with him, and she makes fair points. She learned the specifics of the ships quickly, she'd never complained about the work, she's a damn good fighter, and from what she's telling him now, one that won't fall easily.

People like her are few and far between, not because of the abilities. These are the types of people he and Flint came looking for, hoping they'd find some good men and women between the sailors just looking for some easy coin.

"Nascere will have a place for you." He tells her, with sincerity, after a time of quiet.

"Until she's free, we can find you safehouses you can disappear to. I'll see it done."

You have a deal.
