Work
Mursi left the selkie and Jack alone in the opium house for several hours in the night. He would have preferred not to, fearing the pirate is letting his seal smoke poison,tossing him out into the hallway while he's with a whore, abusing him... Mursi could think of a hundred different outcomes of this. But the seal has been with that pirate for who knows how long. The selkie is attached to him. Clearly. But selkie's are such trusting gentle things...
He goes about his job putting his worries out of his mind. He has things to do. Jack will take care of the seal or he wont. All Mursi can do is get back to them and hope they are still on the island.
First he had to find the seal clothing. So he went about looking for a man the same hight and weight. Both Jack and the selkie are taller then a lot of the population. Mursi towers over them all at 6'6 but at a respective 5'10 the 'twins' are still taller then most men with their build. Mursi is getting irritated. The clothing on the tall men would be like wrapping them in a tent. The thin boys are too short. Even when he finds men the right size he lets five pass without robbing them. Their clothing is ratty. Somehow he just has a problem dressing the selkie in such things. But in the end... the seal is draped in dusty doll clothes.
He grabs a thin drunk who's just tall enough as he walks and swings him face first against the nearest building. A few pirates laugh as they pass. No one comes to the man's aid even as Mursi strips him. He leaves the man's money. Someone else will take it but he wont rob the drunk of everything he has for only being stupid and unlucky.
He pays the last of his coins to the celestial of the opium den for a bath of his own and to have his and the seal's new laundry done and mended. He comes back to the room with the clothing folded in his arms and finds the two of them curled up together in a nap, the seal's fingers curled in Jack's dirty hair. The pirate opens his eyes instantly and Mursi lays the clothing on the pillow beside him. The frock coat is a faded olive green and the shirt is the dame dingy white as everyone else's. Mursi let the man keep his trousers.
