"Won't mind if I accompany you back into town? I've got a few questions regarding the ship, and the crew. And questions about why your bosun hanged himself."
The Doc looks at you and nods.
Quiet sort lately.
You first run (HA!) after the couple with a click-click-click-click-click across the pier. On the way out, you step in a crack and go keeling over.
You hit the ground and close your eyes. That damned leg. You open them to find a turtle staring back at you.
"What the-" It bites your tongue.
You scream, or at least try to, turtle flailing as you struggle to take it off.
The turtle fishing boat laughs at your expense, though one of the younger sailors runs over and de-turtles you with a press on the turtle's head.
You can't help but notice he's handsome, clean shaven, and heroic. A pang of jealousy goes through your peg.
"Nice catch, though bait works better. The name's Luke, what's yours?"
You shake his hand. "Daniel."
"Strange fate for a young man to have a peg. How'd you get that?"
You could tell him the truth... or make up something completely different.

The guy looks at it, nods, and looks back to you.
"Freaky. What are you doing on Kircher pier?"

"Pickpocketing. Nice to meet you."
He walks back to his boat.

I walk back to his boat, too. "So, the turtle is your sidekick, is he?"

He turns and eyes you.
"His name is Dominique. And yes, he is my pet."
Dominique eats a pellet from Luke's hand. The turtle is obscuring something.
"What do you want?"

"Can I hold him?"
Luke narrows his eyes and fumbles with something in his pocket.
"No."

"You want to give me back what you took from me, or shall I tell Mr. Kircher you're stealing from his employees?"
I get ready to stab him with my sword leg, should things go amiss.

He stares at you sternly, holding up the turtle at you. There is something in his hand behind the turtle.
"Which one do you work for, the young one or the old one?"

He grimaces. Dominique hops off his hands.
He's holding your note.
Reluctantly, he walks over and hands it to you.
"I just wanted to read it," he says, whining.
