Turncoat

Stillwater stared at Ning, confused. "How do you know this belongs to Yolan?" she asked.

Ning scratched his chin, wondering how well Yolan had managed to keep his treasure a secret. "How did you get this treasure if you didn't know it belonged to Yolan?" he asked.

"I…" Stillwater thought for a moment. "I came across it somehow. I cannot tell you how."

Ning took the flute and looked at it for a moment before smiling. "Do you know why you did not know this was Yolan's treasure?" he asked.

Stillwater gave a confused look. How was she supposed to know why she didn't know?

"He didn't use it publically, I guess?" she said.

"Yes, but the question is why," Ning said.

"I don't think I'm aware of any reason. The best I can think of is that it does something incredible that made him want to hide it," she said.

"Something incredible…" Ning said as he slapped the flute on his palm. "I suppose for a pirate, it would be considered incredible."
