Black Sails XXVIII
See you on the other side.
I have survived starvation, a tempest, pirate hunters, jealous captains, mutinous crews, angry lords, a queen, a king, and the goddamn British navy [...] I wouldn't worry too much.
Black Sails XXVIII
What flows forth from this house, starting tonight, is a new story for Nassau. I've watched her follow mad men. I've watched her follow rich men. I've watched her bow before tyrants. But now it's time she had a king. When we're ready, when he's ready, he'll step into the role we've created for him and lead an impossible army into an unwinnable war... and win it.
Black Sails XXVIII
Don't. Raise the black instead.
Raise the black?
He believes we are beneath him, tactically incompetent. Why give him any reason to doubt it? To be underestimated is an incredible gift.

Did she fight it? Your mother. Did she resist your being here?
I believe she wanted to. I believe every part of her being was calling out for it.
Then why didn't she?
She has spent so many years protecting our people, protecting me. To put it all in danger now... it is a necessary sacrifice if this war is to be won. But it violates everything she understands herself to be. She let me go because she knows that if we survive this battle today, she will likely need to step aside and make room for someone better suited to do what must be done.
It's a hard thing to look your successor in the eye and know that their time is nearing while yours is almost through. But as far as successors go, your mother could do far worse.

You can count the things that Flint and I agree upon on one hand. But among them is the sincere confusion as to why Charles invested any time and energy in you. I suppose Flint's come to see that there might be some capacity in you after all.
And?
And what?
"And" as in it sounded as if there was more to that thought. That you might see yourself agreeing with him again... about my capacity. There wasn't any more to that thought, was there?
