[ The words are soft, and Stede turns to look at Edward for a moment, not sure how to take them or how he ought to react. There's something to be said about the way that he and Edward look out for one another, the way they take care of each other in different situations - Ed teaching him to fight and duel, Stede teaching him about gentlemanly culture and the rules of passive aggression.
