That was a little more complicated. Well… not complicated really. But most had heard of his Captain and it wasn’t always the stories that put him in a good light. “Captain Hook,” he offered, waiting for her to either be appalled or shocked. Which is the usual reaction he got.
Emma tried to remember if she knew the name, but nothing came out. Maybe because the pirates she had met were more eager to talk about themselves, while at the castle she was kept out of things that could lead her astray as much as possible; her parents knew her too much to talk about anything that had to do with adventure and expect her to stay in the castle. “Don’t think I’ve heard of him,” she said, shaking her head, “But if he knows not to cross a woman, hopefully he won’t be mad at you for helping me. Of course, I will pay you back for this.”
