As the room began to get more and more crowded, Burter became more and more uncomfortable. He had laid back on his cot, using his cloak and blanket to cover his body and attract the least attention. He had seen some extremely familar faces, and the least thing he wanted was to make them notice him. That'd be, well, uncomfortable.
"G'day, matey," a raspy voice spoke off to the side. Burter peeked from under the hood with one of his red eyes to see a tanned man with an odd-shaped hat above his head. It was clearly a human, but by far the oddest looking human he had ever seen. "You look a little bummed out, mate."
Burt rose up to sit on the side of the bed, revealing most of his form. Thanks to the cloak, only this human could really make out his body. "Can I help you?" He hissed, annoyed by the interuption.
The human backed up a bit. "By Davy Jones' locker, mate, I have seen some weird stuff on the waters," he declared, "But you are by far...the weirdest."
He was of course referring to Burter's scaly blue skin, glowing red eyes and fanged teeth. Burter didn't change his facial expression, just looking up with the same annoyed expression as before. "Thanks," he said simply, "Do you mind leaving me alone?"
"Oh, come on now boyo, no need to be mad at lil' ole' Jack," the human stuck his hand out, "I hear in this game, it pays to have some friends. Let's be friends. Savvy?"
The reptilian stood up, showing his height off the human named Jack. The tanned figure dropped his hand and looked up as he realized how much Burter towered over him. He swallowed hard and backed up again, almost to the 12th bed, which belonged to a changling. "I don't need your friendship to win this game."
"Fair enough, my dear lizard," the pirate said. "I only hope you'll reconsider."
"No thanks," Burter repeated. He grabbed his bag and threw it over his shoulder, and then headed away from his bed. He used his of his clawed hands to keep his cloak shut and avoid being noticed by some of the familar faces.
The human shouted behind him. "Know this, boyo! You'll regret the day you said 'no' to Captain Jack Sparrow!"
