Admiral Edward Pellew, sir. [his tone is heavy with reproof.
On foreign shores, half-naked, unarmed and bewildered, and quite likely to find that his men are dead or worse, he has little inclination to share his story with an armed and obviously dangerous man...especially when he knew very little of it, himself.
He'd taken ships and been on the wrong end of an enemy sword, but he would not be so cavalier with a fellow soldier, foe or not.
If this man was a civilian captain, there was perhaps some excuse, but that does not keep Pellew from frowning his disapproval]
