I have no idea what those two fools were thinking, abducting a wanted ship for a drunken run-around... They're quite obviously useless as far as criminals go.
I think my disappointment far outweighs my anger at this stage, though. I really thought better of them, especially of him. They could have simply asked as opposed to helping themselves and thinking they're entitled...
Oh no. They didn't--they couldn't have--just-- I believe I'm in a mild state of shock. They took your Strahl? Do you know where it is at all? I was certain you had a tracking device on it or something or other like that.
They took her. Those two little bastard hooligans decided that the easiest way to get on their little drunken party train was by using my airship! Though I already have a plan for how to get it back.
I'm still in a state of disbelief. I just cannot believe that someone took your airship. You already have a plan? Just don't kill them. Both are very nice young men, even if they're somewhat misguided at times.
You know, I don't think continuing this conversation while in my current mood would be a very good idea. Your words are very easily misinterpreted and, in such a light, are incredibly offensive. Another time. When I'm more sedate.
First off, I'd like to mention what a great and generous being you are, sir, and that you have my sincerest apologies. Cherish them, they're hard to come by.
Secondly, I'd like to say that it wasn't until we were in the air that I was told the truth about what I was hot-wiring. I was under the impression it was another friend's relatives' ship, not yours. Therefore, I claim innocence in that regard.
Third, know that she's in good hands and she's well hidden and no one's finding her, especially if they don't know where she is. There's no scratches, there's no dents, and while I was waiting on Vaan's drunken, drugged arse to awaken, I got bored enough to windex the glass.
Firstly - your apology is appreciated but you shan't be getting off that easily.
Secondly - while what you say is logical, it doesn't absolve you in the slightest.
Thirdly - You should hope she's in good condition because for every tiny nick, there will be a broken bone.
Both you and Vaan will pay your penance to us in what way Fran decides. Be prepared to do menial labour. You just don't steal from a pirate. And trust me, Vaan is in far worse trouble than you.
Oh, chill, you'll be fine. We dropped her off not fifteen minutes ago, all spic and span and shiny clean. You can't even smell where Vaan spent his morning throwing up!
And no, I think I'll be skipping out on that punishment bit, thanks for the offer. I consider myself above fighting ladies, and she is quite the lady... and do I honestly look like someone able to submit to hours upon hours of hard work? Nah.
While I'm thinking about it- you may want to consider locking the ship now. Maybe most people won't steal from a "pirate" but I won't hesitate to do it. Anyone else confident in their abilities (such as myself) or anyone else stupid enough (such as Vaan) wouldn't hesitate, either. I'll go so far as to say you're lucky we knew what we were doing and didn't damage her, and that we had every intention of returning her in short order, with a full tank of fuel, a mini-fridge of bourbon, and a small fortune of dubloons and other shinies on the seat for good measure

Execution at sunrise will be their fate if there is any sign of damage no matter how small it may be. They will not get away from this unscathed...
I'd suggest going after them, but seeing as how we have no ship...

And if they'd asked, they would have been told no... we're not completely senile yet...

Fourth, third gear sticks a little...
