The last thing I remember, was crawling into bed with a most beautiful and dangerous woman, my dear Fran. The next minute I wake to find myself in the bowels of an uncleanly vessel. Minus one gorgeous woman. Hellfires. After our anniversary no less. Our pirating anniversary, mind you

There certainly are a great many pirates here!

[a_noble_thief]

There are? That could be a problem. I'm not on such friendly terms with most other pirates. Especially without my Strahl to whisk me away.

[holdthefon]

I confess, I don't entirely know what a Strahl is, but the other pirate I've spoken to does seem very nice! Perhaps you are one of his crew?

[a_noble_thief]

The Strahl is my airship! She's quite possibly the fastest in all of Ivalice.
I am the captain of my own ship, soI can't say I'm part of this pirates crew.
However, if he's nice- he can't possibly be the dredge I'm thinking of.

[holdthefon]

You own an airship? I wonder what it looks like--perhaps it is something like the Albiore...

He is! He's told me some wonderful stories.

[a_noble_thief]

She's very beautiful, perhaps one day you will see her. Sleek and fast.
Speaking of- Might you have seen a tall and striking woman with bunny ears about? I'm looking for her, and perhaps she's got the Strahl with her.

Pirates certainly do have the ability to tell great stories- I have some myself. Of course, as the leading man.

[holdthefon]

With....

What ears?

[a_noble_thief]

Ears like a bunny. You know, a rabbit. They're cute and furry, and have long ears. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of her on my person.

[holdthefon]

They must be something like a rappig. I've never seen a woman with ears like that.

[a_noble_thief]

I've never seen a rappig before, but they don't sound quite as..flattering. Fran is a Viera, they are all very tall and beautiful with long ears. They come from the forest, if that explains anything.

[holdthefon]

I will see what I can do! Perhaps she will pass this way. A great many people are staying here!

[a_noble_thief]

It seems so!
I have kept mostly quiet, but I have been reading a few diaries. So far I haven't heard word of her, but she knows how to stay out of sight. Thankyou for your aid.

How rude of me, a gentleman should always introduce himself.
My name is Balthier, it's a pleasure.

[holdthefon]

It's so very nice to meet you, Mr. Balthier! My name is Ion.

[a_noble_thief]

Ion, I'll remember that.
Are you all alone in this strange place, Ion?
You look fairly young to be wandering about on your own.

[holdthefon]

Oh, I'm all right--I have Luke with me! And some of my friends are here as well, though I am worried about the ones who aren't. I'm sure they'll be all right--I just hope they aren't worried, as well!

[a_noble_thief]

I'm worried about mine as well.
There is a particularly foolish boy and a silly princess who I'm sure are already up to no good. I don't like to consider myself a babysitter, but at times I feel like one.

They're no doubt worried, possibly because Vaan at the hands of the Strahl to get them anywhere is a terrifying thought.
