Excerpt
Aster opens his mouth, shaking his head, but James continues. He points to a long white scar down the side of his thigh. “Rigging accident. Was climbing the ropes for the first time, I didn’t listen to Tero, and a pin came lose. Broke my leg too when I fell.”
James turns, laughing softly when he hears Aster gasp, either from his ass or the massive scar on his lower back, he couldn’t say. He prefers to think it’s his ass.
“I’m sure you’ve wondered where I got it. First year on the ship was found by some rival buccaneers in the eastern port of Lycos, Hypnus, I believe it was. For entertainment, they each took a turn carving a pattern into my lower back. Paetre found me before they could do much else, but one managed to carve his initials among the mess. I have another man’s name scarred into me; do you think I’m less for it?”
James looks over his shoulder to Aster.
