[Lucius suddenly feels like he's leapt a few years back in time and pales visibly. Oh, he had forgotten what it was like being on a normal crew without an eccentric landowner as a captain. He hadn't missed it....]
Oh! No, sir, sorry sir, my mistake-- [He offers a cute smile on reflex and then immediately thinks better of that. Polite smile it is.] --I'll just get back to swabbing, then, shall I?
[He makes a good show of it, looking straight back down at his work and not at the many, many pirates this important fellow has just goaded into disliking him. Tragically, he's still very bad at actual cleaning. He tidies it up a bit, but it's still much larger than the original mess due to his own general incompetence.
If he just...keeps trying hard will they leave him alone? Oh, he can hope.]
