Wha,wha,wha,what? G-g-g-g-g-host ship? H-h-h-h-h-aunted? I did not know the ship was haunted! Ow! he yells after being bopped on the head. I swear! I would have never got on a haunted ship! It is worth paying real money to be on a ghost free ship!"Don't act so innocent. You hired a ghost ship for us!"
Jax looks around for something to beat his uncle with. He settles on a sheaf of papers and rolls them up. He leaps at Jaz, still in the trunk, and bops him on the head a few times with the roll of paper.
"You dolt! This is what you get for being cheap!"
Nonononono! P-please don't hurt me! I did not mean to, I was not trying to I-I-I-I... with a yelp he sticks his head back inside the trunk, the whole container quivering.Sir Exsixten steps into the room and, upon seeing Jax whacking Jaz, he steps up behind them, voice booming as he raises his axe.
RE-NON-UN-EX-GHOST LIZARD JAXIMUS, DO YOU REQUIRE ASSISTANCE? IF THERE IS SOME MACHIAVELLIAN FILIAL BETRAYAL IN ACTION, SIR EXSIXTEN COULD AXSIST YOU!
I know it is selfish of me to bring you into this without your permission. I am not a wealthy man, nor a powerful one, so I can offer little in return, but will you help me? he says, looking at each of you in turn.
Yeah, blame them! Uncle Jaz says. Now if you will excuse me... he says leaping out of the trunk and running past the party before they could change their mind about hitting him again.Jax bats the chest Jaz is hiding in one last time. "Hmph." He seems satisfied with that punishment. "Maybe I can blame those mafia goons at home for you being so stingy."
