Shore leave.
He has the information he needs from Walker and before long it will be time to round up the crew. Children, all of them, but skilled ones.

Revenge, he thinks, is a harsh mistress, one he can never break free of. It informs his every thought, his every move. The stiffness in his gait is as much the end result of carrying the weight of vengeance as it is from the decade-old injury he sustained.
Before gathering his crew, he'll allow himself one drink. At places like this -- Casino Royale, Horizon Cave, all the outposts -- dress and behavior are varied. Still, protocol stands and he will be recognized as Captain. Retrieving his drink, the small solid glass in one hand and his cane in the other, he leans back against the wall hoping against hope that at this place, there are no ghosts.
