It's not about glory. It's not about gettin' what you want. It's about belonging to something when the world has told you you're nothin'. It's about finding the family to kill for when yours are long dead. It's about letting go of ego for something larger. The crew.

Okay, that seems healthy. Using a bit of fiction to help cover up your trauma.

And it's not even because I want them to have sex (and I do). But let's be honest. These two would embrace their roles like they were auditioning for a community theater play.
Lucius or Frenchie or even Olu might mention off hand how much roleplaying spiced up their love lives before explaining to their very confused captains exactly what it is.
"You play a character," Lucius would explain. "Something sexy. To spice up the moment, yunno?"
And these two would hear play a character and run an entire fucking 5k with it.
It would take them a solid 2 hours to even get to the sexy stuff, because Ed was so invested in running a professional bed and breakfast and Stede would be so enamored by Ed (Jeff) explaining why he chose lavender soap for the rooms instead of jasmine and they'd recruit some of the crew members to pretend to be guests, which ends up being really fucking awkward because Lucius expected it to be like a freaky orgy thing, but these two just genuinely wanted them to rate the services provided by Jeff's Inn by the Sea and give their opinions on whether or not they should put out orange marmalade for breakfast or raspberry jam.
"I really don't think you're understanding roleplay," Lucius will try and say.
"Hey!" Stede would snap. "Ed's doing a lovely job. You're a top rate innkeeper, darling!"
"But I think the point is like... what would happen if you showed up without money or something like that. Yunno? Like... how would you pay for the room...?"
"If he can't pay, he can't stay, man," says Ed, like it's obvious.
"Uh huh. But... you wouldn't let him offer to pay it some other way...?"
"Bro!" Ed has the audacity to look horrified. "I can't just go ahead letting people stay in rooms for a handy! I'd never make any money that way! I've got a business to run here!"
"Yeah, Lucius," says Stede. "He's got a business to run!"
"Right then," says Lucius. "My mistake."
(they get to the sexy times eventually. mostly because Ed is so incredibly turned on when Stede shows him how to fold napkins into swans, and nothing is hotter than stellar customer service.)
