"Now, lad, step to, come on--"
Muttering quietly, Jack supports Wellard to the stairs and down them, pausing in the shadows at the bottom.
As Mary gets the attention of a young woman, he seizes the moment of their distraction and leads Wellard around a small knot of people, looking for all the world as if one or the other of them is helping someone a bit too inebriated to walk on his own.
Seconds later, they're out the lake door and off to the Black Pearl.
