Capítulo 88: A big dog?

"Mr. Woods, if there was someone who I thought could convince someone to join them, it would be you." The Captain smiled at Kellen, who seemed shocked by his response.

"Captain, I've only managed to convince Brent to work for me, twice. I don't think that counts. You have too much faith in me." The Captain winked at Kellen.

"Mm, maybe. Or I just can't imagine someone saying no to such a handsome man." Kellen's face heated, and he had to look away from the teasing man. The Captain took it as a win, and smiled easily. He was a very different man from the stoic, no nonsense Captain Thatcher that everyone else in the room had witnessed before Kellen's arrival.

"Do you need me for anything else?" Kellen asked, wanting to escape the embarrassment. The Captain took his time, humming and hawing, before finally grinning, reaching out and ruffling Kellen's hair, much to his annoyance.
