Izzy didn't seem to know what Stede meant, and he crouched in front of Ed, tilting his head up to look him in the eye. "Captain? Did he hurt you?"
"Iz… did you trap yourself on my ship?"
"Trap myself? No. What do you-" Izzy looked at the skin in Ed's lap, darting a glance Stede's way before putting the pieces together. "I suppose I did, just a bit. I did it willingly, though, Edward. You have to know that."
(Or: Stede Bonnet gets caught up in the fishing nets of the Queene Anne and is pulled aboard. He attacks his captor, Captain Edward Teach, before he realizes the man means him no hard. Parsing through the puzzle that is Ed's relationship with his selkie first mate is intriguing enough that Stede wants to stick around to get to know them better.)
