Victory ultimately went to Kurenai when she tripped Akemi and hopped onto her. From his vantage point, John had a view of both women's undergarments. "Are they wearing... nappies?"

"They are indeed. And for the record, at this moment, Pocahontas wears them too these days."

"Does she?" John said in fascination. He then scoffed and said, "You'd never have thought I was the one with the gunshot wound, then."

"She certainly thinks often of you. And I will bring you to see her and her happy family up close in due time. But I have plenty to show you first."

"That IS why I left England; to see more of the world," said John. He looked on as Kurenai and Akemi turned their attention to him and Emilie.

"So, I see you've finally brought him over," Kurenai said.

"Indeed," Emilie said with a smile, "His deeds in life were just as deserving as any one else who has sailed the high seas in our ranks."

"Well, I take it Pocahontas really wanted you to consider him?"

"Naturally," Emilie said with a smile. John was touched. "Then even if she has chosen to love another, she DOES still care."

"Of course. You never forget your first," Akemi said. "She's made that quite clear. But in the meantime, there's so much to see."
