To say she was thrilled with Carlotta's decision, was far from the case. She understood the woman needed some time to just disappear, to regain her composure and head. But, to return to England, that was a risky venture she took. Not that she worried that she would tell anyone about them, these islands, or things they had done, quite the contrary.
It was the fact the woman had done so without protection. Yes, she had sent Carlotta with a few of her best men, had them change the sails and flag of the ship she sent along. Still, it continued to bother her. Enough that plans would begin, to set sail towards the English Isles shortly after the passing of the new year.
There was more that had come to her attention, the sudden growth of one of the Isles she called her own. Jade Island had been settled by Spaniards, which many found amuseing due to how badly the crowned heads wanted her neck. Too bad the imbiciles were searching for a man instead of a woman.
Something she could and would flaunt often. Visiting the very lands that had placed such a high price upon her head. Appearing either as she was, or in the guise of a noble woman. Neither would gain her a second glance, well, at least not one by those who sought the notorious Captain JD Bloodbath Black.
If only they had a clue.
Putting aside her study of the map of England she had before her, she'd rise from her seat within the room of her cabin. Unlike the others, she chose no home upon the land in which to live. Her comforts were her ship, and that's where she remained.
She would however gain land this night, for the purpose of raising a crew to sail to Jade Island, she wished to take a closer look at what was going on there, and see if rumors were true as to the man who's said to be the driving force behind it all.
These were still 'her' waters, 'her' islands, and she'd make sure none upon them would be a barrier for the ships that came and went. Much of her own trading took place between other ships that took refuge here. She'd do all she could to ensure such would continue to be the way
