What if after the shipwreck Flint’s shirt was so ruined that he had to borrow Silver’s clothes...
Flint: Give me this one instead! It will fit me better. Silver: A captain should wear a coat. I’m just a cook. Flint: Neither of us is part of the crew at the moment! Silver: Dress for the job you want? Flint: You actually want to be a cook?! Silver: Come on, Flint. If you don’t want my coat, then be without! (Dufresne in the background: STOP CALLING HIM “A CAPTAIN!!!” *Silver was the one who tore his previous shirt (to get to the wound)...
Tbh, I cannot remember what exactly made me think of this scenario and the logic is a bit weird here, but I had a lot of fun drawing it xD Please, do not repost elsewhere.
