Would I have kept you?

If I had you, I would have scratched out the eyes of any girl who looked at you too long. If I had you, in a world where it was you, and me, against the world? I would have done everything to keep you. I would have schemed and plotted and destroyed for you.

Especially since, knowing the asshole of my stepfather, he would kick me out the second I wasn't a good girl.

[chaz]

[that does seem to be the way of fathers for young girls who make their way among pirates.]

we would have run that whole fucking island together and held it

[he can say that because none of this is real. it doesn't matter if that's not true.]

[chuffle]

[It would have kept Teach on the island, she thinks, it would have changed everything. It would have made them powerful, the two of them together.]

The two of us? Yes.

The British wouldn't stand a chance, if we knew each other that young. Eleanor wouldn't stand a chance. If you and I could have guided and protected each other.

[he almost mentions jack, but changes his mind. daphne would have gotten to him first in that case, too.]

eleanor could have used someone like you herself

[a female role model, perhaps - someone to tell her to get her shit together that she might have actually listened to.]

[chuffle]

Everyone could use someone like me.

Would you have liked it? Meeting me like that?

[chaz]

[ain't it the truth!]

i think you know damn well i would have been obsessed with you too

but i don't think another lifetime would change that

[chuffle]

And you know I like to hear that.

No.

I think you're half my soul, I don't think it matters what kind of life we found each other in.

[chaz]

that's a good enough reason to keep believing in souls until the day his own snuffs out.]

hope this isn't the only one

[chuffle]

Me too.
