There was little doubt in her mind that if it were expedient the half-giant would crush both of their bones without question. Of course, she didn't think that would be the first course of action, but she knew to be prepared. Edward would simply have to deal with the surprise.
"My worry is more in..." She paused for a moment, tapping her chin. "Improvisation."
A smile flickered over her features. "That is where I think you will do well, Captain."
Preparing for the thing one could not prepare for. Was that not what sailing was all about? The sea was a perilous and mysterious mistress, often offering no warning and naught but despair for days on end. Edward should be good at reacting.
If not? Least he would slow whatever assassins came for them.
If one came at all.
