Where do you go?

Clothes shopping

"I'll accompany you Cap'n. I'm discreet," you say quietly. She considers your offer for a moment then accepts. A woman with half her clothes destroyed probably shouldn't wander around Tortuga alone. Even a woman as deadly as Captain Blood.

You tell Will and the couple men accompanying him that you will help the Captain handle some business, then meet with them at the docks.

Heading into the town, you make a beeline for the market square. Being the biggest town on Tortuga, the place got enough traffic to support a small collection of full time merchants. Now that the early morning had passed, the town was waking up and you passed by several seedy looking characters in the street. Captain Blood's state of dress got a few raised eyebrows and lecherous looks, but you managed to make it to your destination without any issue.

You walk up to a nondescript wooden door. A sign above the door that bears the emblem of a spoon and needle proclaims "BEST CLOTHES SECONDHAND AND TAILOR MADE". Upon entering, you are greeted by a squirrelly looking man with gray hair and spectacles.

"Greetings sir, and agh—". He nearly trips over a tall pile of fabric. "And lady."

"We're just need to pick up some replacement clothes for her," you say gesturing toward Blood.

"Unfortunately we, eh, don't, have any dresses or petticoats. The clientele here is rather, uh...masculine. But I am a tailor and I can make some if I just, uh, get the lady's measurements and am given enough time," he stammers. Captain Blood scoffs.

"I'm not a lady. And I don't need a bloody dress. Just a new pair of pants and shirt so I don't look half naked." She storms farther into the store without waiting for a response. The shopkeeper raises an eyebrow inquisitively at you.

"Where did you find this one? A brothel runaway?". You snort, holding in laughter.

"Don't let her hear you say that."

After a couple minutes, she returns with some clothes in hand.

"Do you have somewhere I can change into these?" she asks. "I'm not sure if they'll fit, but we need to set sail as soon as we leave here." The shopkeeper gives her a bemused look.

"Uh...no, not exactly. The pirates that come in here usually don't change on the spot. Perhaps you could, eh, change in the back of the shop around that counter." Blood drags you toward the back of the shop.

"Stand guard here so that tailor can't come ogle me," she orders you.

You take position with your back turned toward her as she begins to undress.

Do you sneak a peek?
