[It sounds very much to Izzy like that is the end of that conversation. And so he leaves it, for a while, and then for a little bit longer. It's closed, right?
Clearly Stede is burning with want for Izzy's knowledge.. or.. opinion.. or something. Which means Stede won't actually leave him alone as promised. Such passive aggression, with a little hint of begging.]
I saw potential in you. To be a leader the way Blackbeard was. Is. I don't know anymore, whatever you've done to him both home and here is his ruin. Every sailor starts green. That isn't your fault. You have to be taught. I've been sailing since I was a boy, probably before you were even born. This life is all I know. And in my considerable experience, I know potential when I see it.
Unfortunately, I don't see the opportunity aboard this vessel. You can not learn to sail, you can not learn to lead, you can not learn to pirate what is not yours. It is a shame, and I would like to see you prove yourself.. but I can't tell you what that means. It's adapt or die, here. I'm not going to die.
