["Lovely" is quite the word. It didn't fit with the usual adjectives, the jagged sort of words that tended to stick to fire and leather and the coppery taste that came to the air when decks were slick with blood.

Edward frowns thoughtfully as his fingers trail over the neat braiding. His skin is clean and bloodless. His hair is gently gathered into something tidy and presentable. His beard is as orderly as it ever managed to be without giving it a trim.

Maybe he is a bit lovely.

His brow clears as he turns his attention properly up to Stede again.
