Who: Jenny Scott and y o u
What: New arrivals~
When: This evening!
Where: In the lobby
Rating: G for "little girl"

[In the lobby tonight, there is a small girl who looks like she belongs in a castle this grand. Her blue dress matches the decoration style better than most residents' clothing, her long skirts and stay intricate and befitting a higher class daughter.

This girl, however, looks extremely confused, cautiously wandering through the grand entrance and seeming for all the world like she has no idea what's going on.

Because she doesn't.

Last she recalls, she was on a ship, heading home, and this place is like nowhere on The Jackdaw at all, not that she's seen.

She takes a cursory pass around the lobby, then takes a seat on a sofa and clutches her doll to her chest.]

It'll be all right, Dolly. Father is with us now, this must just be part of the adventure.

[unmanned]

Doubt a bad father would worry about you as much as he's done.

[It is a good question to ask, though.]

[toyboat]

Is it worry, then, that makes him good? I only knew him for a little while before I came here.

[unmanned]

It's the care he has that causes him to worry, and that which makes him good.

[Jenny leans her head back against the balustrades, glancing off to the side. One hand snakes into her pocket, almost unconsciously, to take out Dolly and hold her tightly.]

I wish he were here. It isn't fair, that now I can't find him, after I waited all this time to have a father.

[unmanned]

I'll get you to him. You have my word, little lady. [Not that the word of a pirate is much to go by, but James gets to his feet and holds a hand down to help Jenny to her own. This is Kenway's girl. He'll keep her safe.

... and try to not make her cry again.]

[Taking his hand, Jenny stands as well, still clutching her doll. She looks up at James, her face sober, and nods.]

Thank you. I should owe you for all your help.

[Flower crown. That means he's getting a flower crown.]
