James frowned in a thoughtful way, then said "you see? that is the one downside to being a pirate. if your family finds out about it, your considered an outcast, unless they're pirates as well. Raphael had that problem. he made the mistake of telling them he was following the pirate life before he could even get some money to live off of, and he was kicked out of the house. nobody would feed him or trade with him. in the end, he stole a small barque and sailed to Quebradas Costillas, and got himself hired on my ship. i'm amazed he managed to sail all the way there. he seems to have no sailing experience. main thing is, if your family know, you can forget going back to them. they'd simply take you to the garrison and see you hung. i'm lucky enough to have my only definately living family member being a retired pirate on an island simply known as "The Lions' Den". he's one of the most powerful pirates and the leader of the pirates on that island. it was named that since every fleet, no matter how powerful they were, were never able to take it over, since the pirates there are geniouses with traps. traps that would make sense to a pirate, but not to others. the pirate town is hidden behing a massiv cliff face, completely protected against cannon fire."
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
