This was obviously not settling well with some of the crew members, but I just gave them a stern look and a nod to get back to work. They should trust the judgment of their captain a lot more than they are right now. Honestly, if someone doesn't like it that bad, they can get off my ship. I don't care if they find women to be inferior... In this case, she's a lot more qualified than the rest of the people on board. Well... She's probably on about the same level with some of them, honestly... But you gotta start somewhere. It was better to drag a stranger aboard to rule over these men than to pluck one from the pack and put him in charge.

"Oh yeah. You're going to be sleeping in my room. I had a bed brought in there for you. I hope you don't mind that..." I said as I moved towards one of the hallways to walk down off the deck. My room was deep within the ship because it would be harder to find the captain that way. I didn't want it too be too terribly obvious as to where I reside. "Also..." I leaned in close to her. "I don't trust some of my men to leave you alone if you were given a room by yourself." I hoped that was made clear enough... Because I didn't want to just come out and say it.
