"A scruffy-looking man with brown hair tied back entered from the room behind the counter. He had bags under his eyes, and in his hand was a flintlock pistol."
"The man froze and fell to the ground with a bullet hole in the middle of his head. I hadn't even seen Reinhart draw his pistol."
Yeah no kidding Lark, he was already holding it. XD
That aside, this was a fun little chapter. Got some nice world building and such. I guess this isle of pirates is more important in the setting than I thought if two of the most wanted people around regularly hang out/live there. Not sure why Viola would let those pirates so much as touch her last chapter if she was capable of holding down the entire bar with her wires, but eeeeh it's no biggy. It could be argued that Viola was still assessing the threat and deciding whether to fully utilize some of her abilities, after all. Also props to Lark being so proactive in recruiting people, though I wonder if his criteria might be a bit biased. lol
