My dear Tranquility, if you would be so kind as to indulge me in another question - quite different from my last one but no less genuine.

[Something milder than anger flashes in Ichabod's eyes. He tucks a strand of long hair behind his ear before continuing.]

Is there anyone who thinks that these trousers, these...so-called skinny jeans are appropriate for a grown man!

[He holds them up, giving them a shake. See how angry they make him!!!]

Why the ship would choose to gift them to me can be nothing more than a cruel jest, but if anyone should like to have them, for whatever reason, you may collect them from me at once.

[It's a strange thing to hear, and William couldn't say why. Because Ichabod is not of his world, perhaps. Because pessimism is so very easy, when you're trapped aboard the Tranquility.]

how can you be so sure?

To believe otherwise is the enemy's greatest weapon. Inaction is the result of fear, hopelessness. We cannot allow it to take root.

somehow, that sounds both circular and pragmatic. i hope there are men like you in the world i came from.
