IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME He'd Had A Gun Leveled At Him & He Rather Hoped That It Wouldn't Be The Last

IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME he'd had a gun leveled at him — & he rather hoped that it wouldn't be the last — pirates were known to have notoriously quick trigger-fingers. the best course in these situations was to take the threat without reaction as izzy does now, arms crossed stiffly over his chest. ❝ you don't know me, but i imagine you've heard of my captain. ❞ he pauses, shifting his weight off his injured foot, the ache of which has become familiar & near manageable. ❝ goes by the name of blackbeard ? ❞ speaking the name usually changed people's tone considerably, especially with his recent list of crimes growing ever longer. but captain teague might have an unpredictable reaction as keeper of the pirate code, & izzy watches his reaction closely for any shift that might indicate danger.

❝ NO WORSE FOR WEAR. ❞ save the missing toes, the sleepless nights, & the damnable bleeding heart in edward's chest that insisted upon making the rest of the caribbean bleed with it. but izzy knows better than to say so aloud. whatever the cause of edward's good mood today, he doesn't anticipate it to last — but he also doesn't intend to befoul it. ❝ we're already older than most of our lot will ever be. must be doing something right. ❞

You are not the burnt and broken shell of a man that I believed you to be. — for ed from izzy ( @musecraft )

"And you're not the listless, browbeaten husk of a man that I feared you'd become. Look at us. How many decades? And no worse for wear then when we started."

But Blackbeard did say he credited you... with a lot of his skills. Yeah, well, Blackbeard says a lot of things. But what did he say about me specifically? Well, specifically, he said you taught him everything he knows. Made him the Captain he is today.

Our Flag Means Death 2.03 "The Innkeeper"

HANGING FROM THE COBWEBS IN YOUR MIND. It looks like a long, long way to fall. No one ever told me life was kind. I guess I never heard it, never heard it all. Living in a world of MAKE BELIEVE, I can hide behind what’s REAL. But wearing your emotions on your sleeve, and they all know what you feel. Oh, NEVER tell a secret with your eyes. It’s the eyes that let you down. Tell a little truth with many LIES, It’s the only way I’ve found. And here it comes again, STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART, STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART.  :     DOC  /   BLOG   /   ASK   /   SUBMIT  /   WIRE:  MUNSONTM  /  DISCORD:  ON REQUEST  /  IMPORTANT PORTRAYAL HC’S  /  C. /  C.  /  BIG BOY 👑.

And that was our first kiss. Amongst the dirty socks, with the smell of sweat and dirt, and both of us covered in blood. It was perfect.
