Mm. When you're responsible for procuring your own food, you take what you can get, huh?

[selfimmolation]

Can't be too picky on the seas either!

[eliminated]

I can imagine! I'm guessing it's a lot of fish?

[selfimmolation]

Yep! And whatever supplies you can get on the islands you land on.

[eliminated]

Sounds kind of neat! Maybe I'm romanticizing it, but the traveling life seems nice sometimes.

[selfimmolation]

You're talking to the wrong guy if you want someone not romanticizing it! Being out on the sea is the best.

[SIGHS DESPONDENTLY]

I've never gone sailing...

[selfimmolation]

Never? Not even on one of those small cruise ships or something?

[eliminated]

I'm a poor college student, Ace-saaaan.

[selfimmolation]

Passages on ship are that expensive where you are?

[ not everyone lives on ocean planet ace ]

[eliminated]

Yeah, cruises are kind of a "rich person thing", to be honest.

[selfimmolation]

Huh. Well, it's not like I can say I've ever been on one either. It's been all marine or pirate ships.

[eliminated]

Feels like those are complete opposites, Ace-san...

[selfimmolation]

Well, I was mostly stepping on marine ships before we sunk 'em.

[ DON'T SAY IT SO CASUALLY ]

[a beat]

Wow. You really are a pirate, huh?

[selfimmolation]

I wouldn't lie about something like that. Mostly the marines attacked first, if that makes you feel better.

[eliminated]

Justified self-defence, huh? [a little laugh] Well, I've probably done a few illegal things myself, so I can't judge your life of crime.

[selfimmolation]

"Probably"? Don't I get to hear a story for that?

[eliminated]

Nope! A girl's gotta have her secrets. [a beat] Well, one freebie. I did get in the trouble with the authorities for beating up a kid at school, when I was a kid.

[selfimmolation]

[ he shouldn't laugh at that but he does ]

A violent rebel, too! What did the other kid do to deserve that?

[eliminated]

Well, I kind of just wanted to do it, so don't take this as some noble cause, but he was also picking on some kids from my village and that pissed me off.

[selfimmolation]

I'm not one to judge with that. I used to pick fights as a kid all the time for no reason! At least you picked a bully.

[eliminated]

Well, all that pent-up stress has to go somewhere, right? Not that I'd do it again.

[selfimmolation]

That's where we're really different! Fighting's fun.

[eliminated]

Well, I did cause some trouble for my village, so that part wasn't so fun. But I'm just an ordinary young lady, Ace-san! I don't actually know how to fight outside of beating up bullies.
