At the top of the page is a close up of the pirate Rook's face around the eyes, looking wary, framed by an octopus tentacle caressing a skull. Cautiously he says "I'm not drowning. Nor do I intend to. You arranged the bones over the door?"
Orla smiles pleasantly at Rook, while he looks uncertain. Orla says "I like bones. I collect them. But I'm not asking for yours. I don't want to hurt you. We can be here together and not fight."
Rook asks "Only human, or any bones at all?"
Orla answers "Oh... well, land bones, mostly. I can get all the fish bones I want, and sometimes whales and seals and such, but land bones are hard to get so far at sea."
Remaining dialogue is set against a background of tentacles and Rook's booted feet. Rooks answers "Land bones. I could likely get you some... land bones. As a form of rent payment?"
"Really? If you do that, I can bring you fish and shrimp to eat."
"We have an accord! You... won't be offended if I cook them?"
"I'm... not sure what that means?"
"People on land like their food... heated over a fire? I'll cook some so you can have a taste of it, too."
