Arthur awoke with a start after being kicked in the side. "Ack! W-What? Where am I?!" He looked around the room, trying to decipher where he was. From what he could tell, he was in a cell, most likely one on a ship due to the wooden floor and walls. He looked up to see a sailor standing in front of him.
The sailor kicked him again and laughed. "So this is the famous Captain Kirkland? Ha! To think we caught you so easily!"
Arthur groaned at the kick and pulled against the chains. "Why you! Of course it was easy to catch me with your captain using such a low tactic! He must be a coward!" He closed his eyes, anticipating another kick but none came.
The sailor grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into the wall, hard enough to shake the bars of the cell. "Don't you dare insult my Captain you English dog!"
Just then, the door opened. "What the hell do you think you're doing?! He can't help me if he's dead!" Antonio barked at the sailor.
The sailor whimpered slightly and let Arthur go. "S-Sorry C-Captain!"
"Get out!" Antonio ordered, pointing harshly at the door. The sailor nodded and left.
Arthur coughed madly and looked up at Antonio, fear in his eyes.
Antonio turned towards the door. "Unchain him and bring him to my quarters. I need to have a-" He paused and smirked before continuing his sentence. "A word with him." With that he walked out, leaving a shocked and scared Arthur behind
"A-Antonio?"
