#well joke's on them they can't separate because the parrot refuses to have to choose a parent to live with

Silver's real-big insecurity though re: Jim's bad life choice, is that that's all this is. She's got the chance to have a fling with the first guy she ever gave a damn about, now as an adult with no one tell her not to, and he's a living legend. He's afraid she'll get to say she her first real affair with a man she used to know, and bonus, she took Captain Flint's mutinous, murderous quartermaster for a ride.

He's the Big Idiot acting like this is just an itch they've both wanted to scratch for far too long, but he's the one terribly wants to stay. Jim would love it if she could cut him out of her crew and out of her life and move on, and actively tries to stop wanting him, but there's Silver with all his stuff, including the parrot cage, in her cabin and he's making it very hard to agree to his terms of ''nothing serious.''

#tell her u love her u idiot #they're both hyper-aware that messing around with each other is a REALLY BAD LIFE CHOICE but also neither can be bothered enough to care #they're in her bunk and he's got his hand pressed up to hers--she's grown now but her hands are still so much smaller than his #and while he knows she's not delicate she feels so vulnerable with her big eyes and little hands and he kisses her palm before holding #it to his chest. ''nothing serious'' he said like he would know what the fuck to do with his life if he's not here anyway #and jim swearing to herself she's using him but now she feels oddly protective over him #over /him/! as if he doesn't know how to look after himself #but she has nightmares of gallows and snare drums and holds him a little tighter for it #well joke's on them they can't separate because the parrot refuses to have to choose a parent to live with #and tbh i could see silver using that as an excuse #''Flint wouldnt want to leave his mum.'' #''one: 'idk how old your demon bird is but I'm absolutely not old enough to be it's mother and #two: that's nonsense because we both know Flint would pick me.''
