"Sparrow is... Sparrow" Eden smiled uncertainly as she scooted closer to apply the gel poultice. Hanako would feel a relief setting in, especially due to the aloe's soothing effects. She tried to go slow and steady, roaming her paw over the wound in a very gentle way "I can accept that, just as she probably accepted I won't join raids or pick a fight over small things" Eden would be very, very surprised if the Pirate King expected her to raid or do battle or just spit in someone's general direction "but I know... it's more complicated than that, for you two. Just as it is with me and someone here too."

She dipped her paw in the poultice after it ran clean, applying another generous coat. "I was captured too. Not by a pirate at the time. I still am a captive to him, he brought me here. I could have told Sparrow but now I see she did it too - would she even care?" Eden shrugged, admitting her doubts "it's easy to hate someone who takes your freedom. Maybe I'm just stupid. He hasn't hurt me. He feeds me. Makes sure to give me space. So maybe I'm luckier than some? It confuses me, he confuses me. I should yell and scream, cry... but I don't." She sighed.

"Our situation is close to the same, but also different. It's hard to let go of the bad, but everyone expects you to move on. Accept it so easily. Well, it isn't so easy. It's a whole big mess of complications. If you let go, what do you have? You don't have anything but regret and shame. So, I know... what it's like. To be someone's captive, but also somewhat care about them. You were friends, right? I'm... so sorry. I'm sorry that Sparrow did this. I know it can't change anything, that I have no sway here... But it's nice to hear. Even if it isn't from someone you want to hear it from."
