Well, that changed everything. This is why it's bad luck to take women underway. Alfred couldn't fault Evander for trying to go out after Caroline, even if it was madness to go outside right now. Alfred would have followed Zelda into any danger at all, if he had even the slightest hope that he might be able to help. She would do the same for him — had done the same for him, in fact, when she'd worked night and day through the cursed ship in order to save his life. All the same, he couldn't let Evander go. This was a powerful storm, and likely an unnatural one, and Evander had no relevant skills or experiences to draw on.
Which simply meant Alfred would have to do it. They couldn't leave Caroline out there, but Evander couldn't go. Alfred wished he had a heavier coat on, and not this ballroom jacket — and boots instead of shoes — but he'd make do. A storm like this had brought down the Sycorax, but he'd survived that.
"Are you sure she went out there?" he asked, as he let go of Evander's arm to turn his collar up against the wind.
