2nd Excuse [audio // common]

[excuuusemehero]

[He has no idea where Captain Redd is, but he figures if everyone can hear his voice through the magic tablet thing, then chances are good that the captain can hear him, too.]Okay, look. Captain Redd, is it? I've got a favor to ask, man to man. See, I've got a promise for a kiss if I can just meet with you for a few minutes. You can appreciate that

Oh! If you get to talk to him, tell him I need more paintbrushes!

[excuuusemehero]

Sure thing! But who do I say is asking?

[Subtle ploy to find out her name!]

[so_flighty]

Oh, right! I'm Renna! Nice to meet you, umm...

[Has she talked to him? She doesn't remember.]

[excuuusemehero]

Link, legendary hero of Hyrule, at your service, miss Renna.

[Now, how's that for oh-so-casual-but-oh-so-suave self introductions? If Renna were present, he'd be buffing his nails against his shirt, leaning forward, and giving her a confident smile.

Completely humble, too!]

[Kairi chuckles. He must be new. She shouldn't laugh as his naivete. She was new too once.]

It must be a kiss worth dying for, if you're willing to try and meet the Captain.

[excuuusemehero]

Trust me, a kiss from a beautiful princess is worth almost anything. Besides, I'm just meeting a guy who runs a ship. Not like I'm doing anything dangerous.

[lightyourway]

Hehe. Only almost?

[The hint of laughter vanishes from Kairi's voice. He's funny, but he needs to know...]

The Captain doesn't meet passengers. And the whole ship is dangerous, especially now.

Just be careful, okay?

[excuuusemehero]

Hey, a guy's gotta have limits, right?

You sure about that? Maybe it's just a matter of finding him or asking the right way. As for the ship...

[He smiles confidently.]

I think I can handle it, miss. I'm not a hero for nothin', you know.
