[There is a long pause from Siffleur as he considers the exact words that Friday used. He crosses his paws.]
I do not need to know anything about the excursion. But if it would make you happy to have something ruined, I would do it.
[Perhaps he's reading too much into it, but he likes Friday very much, and she asks for nothing. He has stopped killing and dying as much for her, a great sacrifice by his standards. It would be his delight to destroy or otherwise inconvenience anyone or anything that was bothering her.]
If you feel uncomfortable with a command, you can make a suggestion of what you would enjoy seeing ruined most, and I will consider doing it.
[Of course he'll do it, but maybe there's a rule that she can't directly ask for this. His ears are perked and he's eagerly listening for anything he can do for her.]
[Siffleur nods, delighted to have been given anything. He does wonder who 'he' is. The sign has been strange compared to other ones. It is clearly not the Captain, and Siffleur does not understand, but he doesn't need to. All he needs to do is to make this man's life very difficult.] That is true. You and I both do not know what is there. But I will go, and if he is the kind of person who will talk about what he is proud of, then it will be easy for me to know what to do.
If I do something, should I tell him I did it for you, or keep it a secret?
I will play it by ear. I hope you have a peaceful time on the ship while we are gone.
[Siffleur needs to talk to Jack, because there's an opportunity here that hre refuses to miss. He gives Friday a happy chuff and lands back on the ground, trotting away with his tail high in the air.]
