From “The Sauder Diaries — A Bloodier Rose “:
“So, tell me, Miss Coline,” Blackheart said after a sip of his wine. “What prompted you to jump that gunwale? It could not have been something you had ever anticipated doing.”
“Eh bien, mon capitaine,” she said with a youthful giggle, “it was a silly childhood game I used to play with my brothers and their friends. I was always getting captured by the pirates! They always seemed to have more fun than I did.”
