Ren Jidian beamed at this. Prince Weiford cleared his throat and quickly added:
"And these two men who prepared the breakfast I wanted. I am not unreasonable, I know when to give my thanks to people that genuinely care for my welfare."
Petit Louis nudged him with an elbow. "It's nothing, breakfast is nothing compared to the lengths Captain went just for you! He's even defending you now to the whole crew!"
Hale Hopper nodded. "Yes. In fact, the Captain is the one being unreasonably too kind since Carpe was right. We pirates really are desperate for any money."
Prince Weiford scoffed. "I know, I know. Even if he insists on not taking it, I would still make sure you all get several bags full of coins."
He seemed to be much more relaxed now, especially around these two. Ren Jidian sighed in relief.
Thank god for Hale Hopper and Petit Louis. They probably talked things through with him.
