A superior mirage caused by warm air resting on patches of colder air in an atmospheric duct that acts like a refracting lens. Objects on the horizon could appear to be mirrored, distorted, or float. This form of mirage could be the reason for the Flying Dutchman Legend.
Stede couldn’t let Ed talk to him about Lowe’s death because he still thinks he needs to be able to handle the blood on his face! He still wants to prove he’s a man! He thinks that a man defends his crew, his love, his space, with his sword; and he can’t let Ed ask him about it so gently, because he’ll end up sobbing in a bathtub under a robe. And he’ll defend Ed’s right to do that any day, but he is not prepared to fall apart, not when he’s spent the whole season trying to be Ed’s pirate prince, with the beard and the sword and the ruthlessness. Ed’s telling him he doesn’t need that — that he wants the sparkly, golden Stede whose strength is in saving, not killing. But Stede isn’t ready to see what Ed sees — to give up his own dream yet.
