[Ken's little tired from his nightmare from last night. Logically, spending a night in a strange room in a strange place would do that to him...probably. However, that's not what he's really bothered by it much, he's just dragging his feet a little more on his way to class.]

I thought I was done with school.

Thanks, eh.

It never ceases to surprise me how many people here feel that way.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Well, pirates only exist in history books and stories where I'm from!

[this happy face can't even begin to truly express how amazed he is to meet a REAL PIRATE.]

[fierybluebird]

[Wait till he finds out more XD.]

Ah, same with magic in my world. Not the way it's taken for granted here at least. There's supposedly even phoenixes and dragons here.

[the kid's gonna want to know more]

Really? ...so, as a pirate...did you plunder and do all of those kinds of things?

[fierybluebird]

Not really, eh. It's more civil in my crew than that. Usually.

[busies.livejournal.com]

...so, you were good pirates?

[fierybluebird]

Eh. We were on the opposite side of justice.

Good versus evil; it's not really my thing. We're outlaws on another level, but it's not like we ran around helping people. I'm sure if you wanted a detail list of my misdeeds, Ace would probably happily go on about it. It's almost flattering really.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Oh.

To me, you don't really look like the kind of person who would do things that were wrong without a good reason for them.

[fierybluebird]

Thanks, eh. I just don't really give a damn if they're "wrong" or "right" or who's coming up with the definitions. I just want to protect my family.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Protecting your family would be in the "right" for me. Definitely.

[fierybluebird]

Ah, but my family are criminals. Even doing so is an illegal act you see.

[busies.livejournal.com]

...but you just can't let people get hurt just because of they're criminals, and sometimes the "right" thing to do isn't always what should be done.

[fierybluebird]

Could be. But just try telling that to them.

[busies.livejournal.com]

There's no reason to talk to them, since you're just going to continue doing what you've been doing, right?

[fierybluebird]

Well, they get in the way sometimes. Something like that.

But yeah, I'm a pirate. That means the only thing I have to do is what I want to. And the only man I'll follow is my captain, because I want to.

It's a good way to live for people like me.

[busies.livejournal.com]

It's a very free way of living.

[fierybluebird]

Freedom's the main reason people join the seas to be a pirate.
