"Hey- c'mere-"

She reaches to give Izzy a hug- a little awkward because of the car, but heartfelt all the same. He'll learn as all the others have in her life that protecting her goes both ways, and the least she can do right now is try and offer him some relief. Something to focus on that isn't... all of that.

The two phantom images of Stede, the two stories she's been told, overlay in her mind. And from where she's sitting, without having seen any of it for herself, in the middle of the two is a grain of truth.

Blackbeard loves Stede in a way that he does not love Izzy. For whatever reason, for whatever other mechanisms are going on behind the scenes, that is the crux of the situation.

"It's not fair," she asserts, "I'm sorry."
