Yarr! I be awake as well! What ye be thinkin' Nerwen? How d' we catch one o' them fishmen? Or ha' the' cap'n 'ad too much of th' ol' rum?

Arr, them dogs... fish... whate'er they be a'callin' of 'emselves... they'll not be able to fool us!

Fer- mark ye– how mote them fish be a-knowin' o' the ways o' brave gentlemen o'fortune? We must be a-tryin' fer to engage 'em in a bit o' conversation– an' by thunder! They'll give 'emselves away afore long!

Nay, 'tis goin' dry as gives Cap'n th' horrors. He be shipshape along o' there be plenty o' rum in his belly. Rum be meat an' drink to he.

An' then, mark yon blood in the water. This ship ha' seen foul play, or I'm a landlubber!

[Eönwë]

Have y'ever been on th' land, Nerwen? Ye speak like ye were born a' sea!

An' ye were up early. Did ye see a sign o' th' fishmen when ye awake from yer rum-sleep in yer cabin? Or p'r'aps ye be one o' them. Arr! D'I see a bit o' barnacle on yer face, ye scurvy dog?

Scurvy dog yerself, to be a-castin' of aspersions on a lady's complexion!

[Nerwen]

Happen, though, there be summat in yon "Rule o' Three".

By which I be a-signifyin' th' old seaman's yarn that when there be bloody murder done at sea (an' that be common as lice along o' we gentlemen o' fortune) one o' th' first three as pipes up will be one o' them as did the deed.

Aye, I reckon I'll be keepin' a weather eye on ye an' young Blind Guardian.

EDIT:typos.

Arr, I be thinkin' the same thing. Th' las' time I were on a ship w' mutineers that were th' first thing they did.

So, ye think that 'un be one to watch, do ye? Arr, ye all need a good weather eye on ye.

That Blind Guardian a bi' suspicious if ye ask me. 'e sleeps when 'e should be awakin'. Maybe 'e be tired from a night o' killin'. An' th' same goes fer t'others that're still asleep as well. They should all be wakin' by now.

But why is the rum gone?

The rum? Gone? What scurvy dog be a'drainin' of the rum?!

...Arr, ye main near took the wind out o' my sails, ye swab. Ye're on a wrong tack, lad. I were a' sayin' Cap'n be brimful o'rum, so we can be a-trustin' his deadlights.

Nay, I be no Fishman, tho' only my death'd prove it to ye, no doubt.

Arr, so Nerwen be suspectin' Blind Guardian, Rikae be thinkin' ill o' that Eönwë, and Eönwë hisself be agreein' w' Nerwen abou' Blind Guardian? Somethin' here cu'd be a might fishy, says I.
