"And in your statement, I'm not exactly thrilled to understand it. I'm not like you. If I die, I don't come back," Jay said, still looking away. She could still see the horrible scene in her mind, tied up to the whipping-post, that East India company fellow asking her questions, and when she refused to answer, the poor former-pirate would lash her across the back...Jay shivered. "Never again," she whispered to herself, "I'll kill that man with my own hands. I'll kill all the men who have anything to do with that bloody East India Trading Company. The pain they've caused me and many others is too much. They will pay."

Storm frowned.
"Vengance is a paculiar thing. If you let it, it will consum you."
She refused to even so much as glance at Kibo.
"But you seem to be off put by a little pain. Why is that?"

Kibo: You know me. Death is only a temporary condition now.
He hears Storm's comment about revenge, and chuckles. He had let go of his revenge a while ago. That's why he could comfortably sit near her without wanting to stab her in the throat.

[In case you didn't read the message on the "Tortuga" forum, I'm going away for the weekend, so don't expect Jay to speak again until sunday]
"What do you mean 'off put by a little pain'?" Jay asked.

Storm pursed her lips, trying to think of a simple way to explain it.
"You do not seem...jaded by it. You take offense at it."

Kibo: Pain is an essential part of life. There are plenty of ways to not experience life fully. Life without love, pain, heartache, and overwhelming joy can hardly be called life a'tall.

"I know that pain is an essential part of life," Jay replied, "I'm a pirate. Of course I know that. But I take offence to it when it comes from a friend who had an opportunity to make a better choice. He was forced by a certain lord of the East India company. And may God hold him close, my poor friend now lies at the bottom of the sea. Two friends. Him and the one who loved him," Jay sighed. "Long story, that,"

Kibo: What we mean is that your stance on pain is that of someone who hasn't experienced it that often.

"In a way..." Jay responded, "That is physical pain. Emotional pain I've always felt; and I blame my father,"

Kibo: That's what we're talking about. Physical pain. Emotional pain builds character.

"Builds character?" Jay raised an eyebrow, "All it ever did to me was cause me to realize that my father would never accept me for who I am. And that's not a fun way to live, you know!"

Storm had to laugh.
"Girlie, if you just had a father who 'wouldn't accept you for how you were,' you had an easy life. You just had to deal with a few light beatings and dirty looks. Emotional pain is bliss, and let no fool tell you other wise."

"You think that's easy?" Jay's voice got slightly louder with mixed feelings of anger, annoyance, and pain. "How does it sound when your father is the keeper of the code and every pirate in the caribbean thinks your a bloody landlubber because your father told them so!?"

Kibo: It's probably the same emotional pain one would feel if your father secretly sold you into slavery to someone you had never even met, and from everything you've been taught, would beat you savagely, tear you down verbally, and maybe even kill you if you didn't so much as kiss the ground he walked on. Luckily, Farind turned out to be the least pirate-y pirate I had ever met.
