He watched helplessly as the Legacy approached his ship, watching it be ripped apart. Thank God for a good soul. He smiled, then noticing the Albiore sinking.

"..Take the cannons back to the ship." he said, kicking the corpse of a redcoat to take his trumpet, wrestling down the slope to the waters, where he boarded a small dingy that was there from the Legacy. He used the trumpet as a paddle to get to the Albiore. He then took off his belt, so that all of his weapons wouldn't be wet, and jumped under water, retrieving the corpse of Captain Kashuno Kirane. He put it on the dingy, climbing aboard himself, then rowed back to the Tonic.

"Half staff." is what he mumbled, carrying Kashuno over his shoulder with the re-attached ammunition belt aroud his waist. He went to the top of the ship, turning to another crew member.

"Prepare the ceremony."

And such was done, as a makeshift bed was brought from below deck. The corpse of Captain Kashuno Kirane was placed on the bed and oil poured over him, a fire lit. No one could mind the smell, because Romane had never looked to be this tender before.

The ashes were later put in a jar and stored in Captain Romane's quarters.

"Let's get to open seas." Romane said with a sigh after the affairs were over, the crew finishing up their patching of the holes and taking off to sea.
