Thomas Hamilton watched the drunken pirate who had somehow gotten himself tangled in some old fishing line struggling to escape. During his time in Nassau, Thomas learned quickly to survive, keep his head down, and don't piss off the pirates. While he did his best to steer clear of all of that, knowing what it had cost him and put him there, to begin with, one would have had to have their heads in the sand to not recognize Captain Blackbeard.
Holding his hands up, Thomas said, "I'm sure you're more than capable of taking care of yourself, but sometimes even the best of us need a helping hand from time to time." Gesturing to the line he said, "You've got yourself pretty tied up there, I can help the job go quicker if you want me to."
