Bastiaan sees the man come down to investigate and smile as he crawls further around to hide under the canvas. He thinks he's very clever. And being caught doesn't change that. But the fear in his face is obvious as he cowers (for just a moment) on his hands and knees. The knife looks dull and painful. The man wielding it in the same state. He jumps up his feet and puts his fists to his hips, looking his nose down at the man (even though Bastiaan is much shorter).
"//Captain Rat, you cock boil! I'll have you keel hauled the moment this ship is mine!//" He looks around at the other men watching with a grin, sounding cheerful. "//Raise anchor!//"
