"Are you some kind of pirate? I've never seen a real pirate before! Well only in the movies and comics. But I thought they were a legend or something. The sea where I come from is very polluted and there are few transports that withstand the acid water." //hello!
❝ What? No, I'm not a pirate... ❞ A little more Christopher Columbus and a little less Jack Sparrow, David was. Though as a man who knew his way around a ship, he could understand the confusion. ❝ I'm an explorer, y'know... charting out the new world and such. ❞ David folded his arms. ❝ I've gotta ship under my ownership but I'm nothing like those shiny-thing obsessed trilobites. ❞ Much to their dismay, if there was one thing he'd learned pirates like more than shiny things, it was company.
❝ Sadly, Pirates are more real than any of us would like to admit, ⸻and they're bad news... Nothing to idolize. ❞ Pirates are the reason he's like this. Forgive him if he's a little touchy, but David couldn't go back to his family looking like a rat, which put him under a lot of undue stress.
