Felix nodded, unable to look straight at Ryelle but instead staring at his feet and blushing. "That's right, Miss. Not just the Captain though, none of us feel right bowing down to One-Eye, that we don't. Most of them pay dues to him, that's true...but there's those of us who won't submit so easily, no we won't. It's part of why we're still a smaller crew even after so many years. We've talked about openly opposing him before, trying to bring it down...but there's only so many of us. He has a lot of flunkies and most of us...we're not enough. We can hold our own on a raid, that we can, but we're seafarers by trade. A war against One-Eye would be fought in the city...that's not even considering how many innocent townsfolk would be killed during a fight." Felix shook his head sadly. "Truth is, most of us are pretty much on par with a run-of-the-mill adventurer...there's only the Talons of the Phoenix that'd be capable of doing much against him and even they'd be overwhelmed. That's the other reason we use this place...the outer wall is nigh-impossible to climb and the stairway is tall and narrow, so it's easy to defend, that it is."
