*A young man, in his early twenties awaits in the
antichambre. Despite the heat, the man wears a (mostly) red kilt. His crest badge shos a boar's head holding a deer's shankbone in mouth.
One can tell by the young man's pace that the long wait is begining to take the better part of his resolve.
When asked to introduce himself, he simply responds :
-I am Eugene MacKinnon, and produces a sealed vellum :

Antigua, august 1720
Officers of the Highland Confederacy,
Before you stands my son, Eugene. Do not be fooled by his pleasant looking. Despite his young age, the boy was one of the man who fought the opressor at the Battle of Sheriffmuir and Glen Shiel. Because of that, he cannot stay in fair Scotland, nor can I have him in Antigua.
From my Antigua estates, I heard about your fight, and it crossed my mind that in letting him join you, you would recruit not only an able seaman and a seasonned warrior, but an interpreter as well (his mother was of an old French family ).
Of course, his naval training needs a bit of freshening, but nothing that can't be done quickly. When you'll consider that he is heir to his mother's land in the franch indies, you'll understand that if you make him one of yours, not only will you gain one of England's best ennemies, but have an easy access to supplies and funding.
Audentes fortuna juvat ((Fortune assists the daring))
Donald MacKinnon, son of Sir Lachlan Mòr MacKinnon,
great uncle of John Dubh MacKinnon of MacKinnon.
