Looks like Magellan has other things to worry about; still - [There's a loud yawn followed by a huffing noise.]

Four hours and now I'm back here. I could chalk that up pure luck, but - hn.

Dancing partner; someone to light up the skies with. Smoker's a Marine - he hunts pirates, I am a pirate, and the rest is history.

I also live with the asshole and we need to have a talk about our world.

A rival, you mean? Dance partner sounds like...like something weirder.

...Oh, what's going on in your world?

There's a river sailor who's new around here somewhere...like a tea salesman or something, he said. Maybe he'd be an okay rival? He wants to explore and see what's upstream from the city, but needs so boat building help.

Yeah, you could call him that. Remember the smoke guy? That's him.

Well, I was about to be executed in four hours, so a lot.

And, you got a name for this guy?
