James, briefly taken aback, revealed that his newest captain would be away for a few days to visit family before retiring. He grinned, explaining he was persuasive and had bought another ship for contingencies, in case he needed to leave without her brothers. Georgina teased him, noting his eagerness for any excuse to set sail without their company.

Their banter continued, touching on family dynamics and the challenges of marrying into their clan, with James reflecting on his past as a gentleman pirate. Ultimately, he planned to decline Nathan's offer, preferring not to disturb the delicate family balance.
