It was a long day and when the captain turned down his offer to cook, he headed to his room for a nice and long rest.

He wasn't used to fighting, so as soon as Nolan's head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep. In fact, he didn't wake up until it was already dark out. The young man scrambled into the kitchen and with a bit of help managed to cook a good meal in no time. The other ship had some high quality cooking supplies and he was even given new knives and chopping boards. It wasn't a bad find at all.

As soon as dinner was served he joined the others by the table, making light chatter before Kai told them to listen up.

Nolan focused on the captain's bodyguard. He had always been intimidated by the veteran pirate, but now the man looked even more serious than usual. Whatever he had to say must have been big. He'd heard about Kai's past, it didn't seem like a happy one so he wondered why the man had decided to dredge up old memories. Kai began talking about how his ship had gone down in Waterdeep and the cook listened on with a frown. Losing his men and everything he had worked for, Nolan had no doubt that it was painful and while a part of him wanted to give his fellow crew mate a pat on the back, he remained seated and listened to the rest of the tale. Kai wanted his flag back and they were headed to Waterdeep, anyways, right? It didn't sound like too much trouble and if the Kraken Skull Pirates were dead then it didn't sound too dangerous either.

"Hey, if it's that important to you," Nolan gave the man a smile. "I wouldn't mind lending a hand. The Kraken Skull Pirates are long gone, right. I mean, you might not have gotten all of them, but that was long ago? So retrieving a flag doesn't sound like too much trouble." He gave Kai a grin. "We're in this together after all." Sure, he hadn't known them for very long and some of them were scary but they were Stardusk Pirates and out on the seven seas, they really only had each other.
