“The death match was on the island. Fucker had us watch even if we didn’t take part.” Ed can explain in more detail if it becomes important but he’s not sure it will be the same next time. “But it’s not always the tournament. Sometimes it’s really just shore leave.”
And cabins and dances, but Izzy doesn’t want to know about Ed putting beads in his hair or spending a night in Stede Bonnet’s bunk.
“The islands aren’t natural, Iz. No wildlife, just plants. Can’t escape. You’re just... there. Can’t even plot a course from one. There has to be something we’re missing.” There has to be something they can learn from these trips, other than ways to kill their friends.
“But death’s not permanent. Figure if we use it strategically, we might figure something out.”
