She was quite taken aback when Isabella took the bundled towel (with a torn corner after her first attempt at getting it untangled) and laid it out. And by taken aback, she retreated three paces and dropped her hand to her pistol. The life of lawbreakers was a nervous one, and people took a great deal of glee in catching pirates for the gallows.

A fight she was prepared for, but an act of kindness completely blindsided her. Settling down on her now un mutilated towel she ran through the social proprieties in a situation such as this. The girl had not requested anything in return, nor did she have the baring of a servant, sidekick or minion. Should she thank her? Snap at her for assuming she needed assistance? Ignore her? To be honest she wasn't sure about the social niceties of the gentry (for surely she was royalty?) and her father had impressed upon her the importance of having good form

She was saved from the conundrum when the girl introduced herself as Isabella which was no clue whatsoever as to her tale. Jane had generally left the knowing of who's who to Esmee, who actually cared about such things. Now Esmee was trying to calm some shreiking numbwit and Jane was regretting her lack of knowledge. A little.

"A pleasure"

Well, THAT sounded sarcastic. She grimaced slightly

"And thank you... For your help."
