Ladies and gents! Girls 'n boys!

I. Am. Back.

After a daring escapade around the oceans 'n back, fighting off those with malignant intent and going under the noble pirate flag, even facing the dangers of a giant-ass octopus and a humongous crab -- which, seriously, what the hell is up with that? -- as well as backstabbing, traitorous, cowardly

Hervey.

Good to know you're in one piece. Sigurd and I had our doubts.

[foxy_hervey]

Are you kiddin' me? Alright, you, I'll let that go, but Sigurd? Man. He's gotten soft, then.

[trueltning_fury]

Well, I was the one who had to assure him you'd pop up sooner or later, none the worse for wear. But he knows you far better than I do.

[foxy_hervey]

Pfft, then he shouldn't have been worried at all!

So, I trust you've been, uhhhhh, takin' care of him?

[trueltning_fury]

Yes, I have. But I'm sure you don't want the details.

He actually suggested to me that I offer you a job.

[foxy_hervey]

Heheh, nice insight.

Wha? What kinda' job? I'm already workin' a gig here, y'know.

[trueltning_fury]

With the Southern Frontier Defense Force. My entire unit has either retired or gone missing, so I need to recruit a new team. I've already asked Sigurd to be a part of it, but there's nothing that says I can't run with two pirates.

*eyebrow* ...and what gig would that be?

[foxy_hervey]

I'm runnin' the whole mercenary angle on things right now! It lets me be at sea more often than not, so it's pretty nice.

But seriously. ... Defense Force? Wha? Whaddya' defend from, anyway?

[trueltning_fury]

Technically? Nothing. It's Harmonia's nice name for us mercenaries, they tell their citizens that their southern border along Grassland is being 'defended' instead of 'we pay mercenaries to do our dirty work.'

...so really, same thing you're doing already, except not on the sea so much.

[foxy_hervey]

Pfft, unnecessarily fancy, eh?

I'll hafta' turn down your offer, though. I ain't much for fancy titles, and I'm way too attached to the sea right now. But thanks fer' that, I do 'preciate it.

[trueltning_fury]

Ah, that's a shame. I could have used your sword. You're far too good a fighter to have your talents wasted.

If you change your mind, I won't be officially recruiting for a couple of months. I need to test everyone's abilities, first.

[foxy_hervey]

Aw, you're gunna' make me blush soon.

I'll think 'bout it some more, then. I mean, hey, if Sigurd's in there, I'd hate to be separated from him, if y'know what I mean.

[trueltning_fury]

I'm only being honest. I'm not one to waste words.

...don't worry. I do know what you mean. But I've chosen to make Budehuc our home base, instead of Caleria, so we'll be coming back here between missions.

[foxy_hervey]

I better be seein' Sigurd a helluva' lot, then. You're gonna' need to share.

[trueltning_fury]

His life is his own, I'm not going to tell him what to do. You'll have to take it up with him if you want to see him.

[foxy_hervey]

I'll just hafta' drag him out places.
