Considering the fact that we have no idea what he looks like, you could always pretend.
It would be slightly redundant if I did.
And that's assuming you can hit me.
And that's assuming you can hit me.
Eh, seems a bit contrived to me. You trying to prove something?
No, I'm trying to get you to engage, and a bit of swashbuckling seemed like a better bet than "Hi, want to talk about your feelings?"
Besides, I don't want to get rusty.

Guess I'm not the engaging type.
[Lately, anyway.]
[Lately, anyway.]
Neither was I, honestly.
[ ...He's been waiting for a good moment to do this, so. He switches to video, and for the most part he just looks like a normal - if broad and muscular - human in simple clothes. But there are two very large horns spiralling from his temples. ]
It didn't work out very well.

[woah, very horny]
Former inmate are you? That'd be rich, what with me being a former warden.

Not quite, it's - more like the Admiral caught my soul at exactly the right moment.
[ The words are almost distracted, though, because what he really wants to say is: ]
Did something happen here, or at home?

I disappeared from here involuntarily right before my inmate graduated, shitty things happened back home and then I was pulled back here with a different status. Sucks to be me, basically.
The Admiral's a bastard, understood.
[ He sounds more exasperated than surprised. Gods are gods. ]
I'd like to offer you more than empty catharsis but it's all I've got.

Don't worry about it man. The month'll be over soon enough.
Would you put up with people shirking responsibility on your ship?
[ He's going for wry amusement, but - there's something pained and wistful in that expression, too. ]

Well, being pirates and all, they're not really the responsible sort to begin with.
Everyone has rules they don't want to see broken, pirates included.
As a rule they know better than to do anything which would prompt me to cut off one of their toes.
[ He can't help grimacing, for a moment, considering - well, people lost limbs very recently, and it's one of those things he can't fix.
Still, he looks more disgruntled than horrified. ]
Well, as far as maiming goes I guess it's one of the better options. I hope you make it very clear where those lines are.

You giving me lessons on how to be a pirate are you?
[ The way he smiles is...warm, but strained. ]
He was, but that was never his end goal. There was a city in the clouds, and enough gold can get you anywhere.

So basically he needed gold to get to this city? Did he make it?
Oh, yes.
[ With a slight arch of his eyebrows - ]
Do you want to see it?
[ With a slight arch of his eyebrows - ]
Do you want to see it?
Enclosure duplicate? [shrug] Yeah alright.
I'll meet you on the upper deck, then.
[ Which is easy enough considering he is...already there. ]
