So the kid's not feelin' so hot- ah. Minato, to clarify. Yeah yeah name rings a bell for legions of ya I figure so.... stuff it.

I've got 'im for a while and I ain't takin' no visits. If you've got somethin' to say, hold it in unless you think it's worth takin' rest from him. 

[yeah. just try it now, folks.]

He's not dead, so don't freak out about goin' without 'im for a while. 

[click!]

A fair test of skills.

[Oh look at this eyeroll]

But I guess if you are scared of that, I won't make you.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Jimjam? You're about as persuasive as a sand crab.

Nice try, though.

Real skills come from winnin' out of holdin' nothing back.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

[Just eyeing him up and down.]

Well, I guess you can't expect much more of a pirate.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[Was that supposed to goad him on? Because all he's gonna do is shrug.]

Do tend to be a pretty nasty lot. Hard to say otherwise.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, tell me about.

[sorry. Having a bunch of pirates burn down his home is still very fresh in his mind.]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[... oh. That's even harsher than he expected.]

... So? How'd we wrong ya?

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

How about we start with the part where you burned down my home, burned down mom's livelihood. Montressor's not exactly a money pit, you know. That inn was all we got.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[He considers that... and then he shoves his hands in his pockets, cocking his head to the side.]

S'unfortunate. Condolences to you and your mother.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thanks. That will definitely help rebuild our inn from the ashes.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[a blank stare]

Hell you want me to do, Jim? I'm a pirate. I take what I want, go treasure hunting, and all that shit, yeah.

But I ain't the pirate who wronged you and your ma. Don't go takin' a bias and pressing it on every one ya meet.

Besides. You and your ma will be fine. I don't have a doubt about that and you shouldn't either.

[myowncourse.livejournal.com]

Of course we'll be fine. We always are. Just not thanks to your kind.

[Sorry, man. He just kinda holds grudges.]

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Nope. But you know my kind is still human, right? Or maybe they're not- but I thought it was damn impressive of ya not to judge even if some of us ain't from earth.

Y'know pirates got their own reasons too- and just because you're a pirate doesn't mean you can't be anythin' else.

[Really, he's not taking this all too personally. It's a grudge he can understand, but... his crew is made up of pirates. And he will always defend his crew from even the smallest of threats.]
