To Infinity and Beyond

It certainly looks like everyone's starting to settle in their new surroundings. I'm surprised that some of them even took up jobs! Not that I'm complaining... my notes and books have never been tidier, it's a hell of a time saver. I bet Albert would be jealous if he knew how I lived. Or probably not. Then there's that new innkeeper, who's even got experience in paperwork! Can you believe my luck? ...I guess I shouldn't be too glad. These people surely wish they were rather home than here.

...Man, infinite worlds, huh? There must be all kinds of uniquely interesting people out there. Thousands, I bet.

Huh..? Pirate? A guy like him? Come to think of it, I never asked what kind of ship he sailed...

...
Y-You guys are friends, right?

What? You don't think me and that clown are chummy enough towards each other? We were comrades during two separate occasions.

comment #108, what do I win?

He's just not what I pictured a pirate to be, that's all. Based on my experience with him, and the fact that both you and Agnes consider him a comrade, I have no doubt that he's a good guy... it's the pirate part that's harder to swallow!

The Good Ending. Unless you were mean to Lymsleia!

What did you think they were like?

Only all the time.

Like they are depicted in society. You know... unsavory, hairy, rude. They're supposed to be the plunderers of the sea, feared by honest tradesmen!

He hits at least two of those criteria. I don't doubt he and his buddies attacked a tradeship or two in their time.

When I really think about it, I'm sure Kooluk saw most of us on King Lino's side during the war as no better than pirates. And quite a few members of that crew definitely wouldn't strike anyone as the pirate type.

As long as he's one of ours. I suppose he can't really call himself a pirate these days anyway, not without a ship at least.
