His heart was lined up but his words didn't get across. But no, men can be difficult to figure out and Lesto has been self contained and focused for years, has an image, and for whatever reason. He should be mature enough that when someone like Lesto focuses on him, it's solid. And that's a little hard to believe since Shemal is in his 40's. It was no wonder things fell apart and of course Shemal's confidence flagged. Lesto spent very little time with Shemal and in true man fashion never said much. While this was a nice continuation in the series, it didn't match the first. Once again bodies falling left and right. Thank goodness they were on the same page otherwise they wouldn't have survived. Both men walked away from each other, hurt, and in an odd twist of fate they meet up again, air their differences, and start all over. As I had read these two books back to back I couldn't pinpoint that meeting. Lesto and Shemal met in the first book but it was barely touched on. Because pirates love jewels and earrings of course! The muscle bound hunk in this story is Shemal, he of the thick thighs and even thicker long hair with a love of earrings. I was surprised to read Lesto's physical form: He wasn't this muscle bound warrior but instead a slim supple man with a core of strength. Lesto is the right hand of the high king - Advisor, military commander, and brother-in-law. The Pirate of Fathoms Deep is Lesto and Shemal's story.
