Did she hear that right?

"What?" Tina asks in a mixture of shock and confusion.

"You humiliated us," Patty says as she scowls at the helpless hottie dangling in front of her. "So we want payback."

"You got a nice place here," Nan chimes in.

"T-thank you...?" Tina mumbles as the worry creeps back in to her voice.

"And we want some of it," Snuza adds.

Tina gasps in shock. "T-hat's ridiculous! I can't just give you my home! I -"

"We don't want the house, dummy," Patty says. "We want what's inside!"

The blonde noble's face grows redder as she gets more and more flustered. "This outrageous! This is -"

"Part of doing business," Patty responds. "You either let us take what we can carry from your house, or we can leave you to hang here, and find our own way inside anyway."

"N-no... I..." Tina sputters as tears dribble down her head and she starts to despair.

I... I had won! I beat them! How could this all slip away so fast?

"Look, you're obviously rich," Patty leans in close, so the other pirates can't hear her. "Who cares if you loose some gold and a bit of jewelry?" A cold gust of wind makes everyone shiver. "Well, and maybe a few outfits too. Just give us what we want and we'll be square, ok?"

Patty bites her lip nervously as Tina mulls it over.

The naked pirate prays to all the gods of the sea that this naïve noble won't call her bluff, or realize they are utterly helpless without her help.

"So...?" Patty asks, the sweat beading on her brow.

Tina blinks away her tears and sighs.
