It seems for a moment like he might rise to his feet, clutch one of the dozens of old gilded sabers mounted on his wall and join you, but then he slumps back in his chair. "It is the yellow fever. Ack...ack...ack... It will not let me. I can barely make it to the kitchen without being ravaged by this cough. My hand can scarcely grasp a hilt. Secret?" he meets Blaise's intense gaze, confounded and on edge. The truth of Libète burns there, and it is a hard thing for Van Djik to be in the presence of, after the vile crime he's committed. "What more can I... Ah, Blackbeard is looking for L'Ollonais' treasure, that must be it. That's the secret you mean."With a groan of effort, Van Djik reaches under his lapel and cotton shirt, fishing about for a necklace among several protective talismans, at last drawing out a blocky hardwood key attached to a leather cord. "I've kept this for a long time. Thought that maybe L'Ollonais treasure could save me, spare me from the djab's curse. What a fool I was." As the sick dwarf presses the blocky hardwood key into Blaise's bloody palm, he intones a raspy bit of poetry, something he has committed to memory for a long time. “Not her brow, nor bosom, but her lips. No ship has a kiss that compares with The Coral Curse.” His fingers linger over Blaise's for a moment, before he exhales with a look of exhaustion falling over his pale face.[/SECTION]</blockquote>
