Ragetti was locked in the cage for a week.
It wasn't as bad as it could have been however, since he was finally away from Beckett and his constant demands for music and sex.
His cage was just big enough for him to be able to sit up with his legs crossed, but he could not lay down or stretch his legs out either. The cage was located in one of the empty rooms, away from everyone and everything as punishment for threatening his master like he had.
But Ragetti would not change what he had done for anything, and everyday when Norrington would come and visit him with some hidden food and drink, he would tell him so proudly, only to be answered with rolled eyes and a clucked tongue as the commodore gently chastised him for his behavior.
The two slowly started to build up a kind of friendship with each other and it was through Norrington that Ragetti learned all that the man knew about the goings on of the crew of the Black Pearl before he had run off with the heart.
It was also through Norrington that Ragetti learned that he and Pintel were considered some kind of heroes when it came to others who were forced to join the Navy and when he asked the man why, Norrington had shaken his head in confusion.
"You both served for only three years and in that time you became First Lieutenant and he became Head Gunner of the ship!" he explained. "In just three years and starting from the lowest of the low positions on a ship! It took me five years just to make it to Bo'sun when I first joined!"
"No' really a big deal." Ragetti said with a shrug of his thin shoulders. "I jus' did wot they said afore me an' Pinters were done wi' the whole Navy business."
"That's the one thing I never understood." Norrington said. "You two deserting the Navy like you did…why?"
Looking away, Ragetti gave the man another weak shrug.
"Et was toime ta leave an' become a pirate loik me da'." He answered.
"That can't be it. The stories say that you lost your eye to a pirate while defending a merchant ship."
"Aye, an' et were tha' day me an' Pinters decided ta leave the Navy." Ragetti added with a nod.
"But can you tell me why? You could have become captain in another year the way you two were going!"
Ragetti stared at the far wall, his face emotionless.
"I'm sorry if I'm pushing you into something you don't want to talk about." Norrington said gently.
"Nah, et's no' tha'." He said softly. "I was jus' finkin' abou' et." He assured him.
Looking back at Norrington, Ragetti gave him a small smile.
"Do ye really wan' ta know why?" he asked.
"It's been a mystery for years on why you two turned pirate." Norrington answered. "Everyone wants to know why!"
Laughing softly, Ragetti shook his head.
"Et started when we met up wi' the merchan' ship…"
