This hadn't been a recurring nightmare of his, but it will be from this moment forward. Lucius just watches Stede fall asleep and then turns, slowly, to stare wide-eyed at Blackbeard who has just entered the room. Blackbeard, whom he is supposed to...let know...that the Captain wants to sleep alone. He lets out a pitiful, hysterical sort of laugh that chokes out after a second and can feel his stomach drop further. It's somewhere in the bowels of the ship, now.

"Hi---" he says and draws that syllable out until it's the thinnest sound he can make and steps ruefully into Blackbeard's path. Again. How...how many times is this now? And given how livid he'd been a minute ago--threatening to chum the waters with his corpse? Oh, this is, a great, great situation.

Lucius feels very faint and looks like he's about to either pass out cold or start crying.

"Captain--uh--said he'd like some...quiet--" Lucius manages sounding quite strangled. All it will take is a quick movement or some harsh language and he's just going to collapse into a sobbing heap. "Aloneifthat'salright?"
