Of course he would want to see Ed. And what would he think of Ed now? And the crew? And their... friendship? Well that's certainly going to have to go behind the curtain for now. He doesn't want Ed to falter at all in this asshole's eyes because even if Stede doesn't like him-
-it's not as if he's going to go anywhere.
He looks at the drawn sword, wondering if the man is going to try and stab him with it and is caught between ducking back into the bar and making a break for it...
Only why should he? What's going to happen? Izzy is going to stab him and he'll die? He deserves a death or two! And he'll be back.
And that brings up another thing- they are co-captains now. Co-captains... Co-Captains means that they share crew and even if Izzy is the step-crew. He is still crew.
So Stede steps in, moves in even as cold sweat beads the back of his neck and at any moment he's prepared for steel.
"I'll take you to Ed when I'm good and ready." Not that he knows where Ed is at the moment. "And you watch who you're talking to with a voice like that."
Oh-- what is that feeling? That kind of nervous thrill? He likes it. He likes it a hell of a lot. He might die because of it but won't someone get a nasty shock.
