Well, this definitely is one of the most difficult chapters to write. I personally think that writing about a character's transition from common person to pirate is one of the most difficult things to explain when writing about pirates. It's hard to explain the mind set that is necessary and the reasoning behind their decision. I think it's especially difficult to have one character convince the other.

Now I will admit this is not one of my favorite chapters. I believe a few changes to the dialogue would have made it flow better.. but considering the difficulty of the chapter to begin with, I think you did a very good job. Although the conversation was a bit awkward, you still described the emotion and the mood of the situation quite vividly. And I believe your ability to portray that with such detail definitely enhances the chapter overall.
