He has taken to dreaming of oceans and a creaking ship with tall, broad sails. He doesn’t know why. Only that when he wakes up, there is the tang of salt on the back of his tongue, and he feels restless. He has never been on a ship before, and he doesn’t particularly want to visit one either, although the dusty beat of Mexico hasn’t been what you would call good for his health. A change of pace might just be what the doctor ordered. Not that he was going to trust a doctor again any time soon.

He wonders briefly if he believes in reincarnation, because the scratch of large amounts of rum linger in his throat even when he doesn’t even have access to the drink. He finds himself tilting his head to better catch the sound of non-existent breaking waves and wondering why there are guns on his hip where his cutlass should be. He thinks about reincarnation and shrugs aside religion for the madness that has always been the faithful dog by his side.

So if he yearns to see the horizon on some days or makes El call him Captain on some nights, he has a perfectly good excuse. Although he does find the listing swagger a bit odd. Even for him.
