Tetra can’t help but break into a small smile as Aryll speaks, the girl’s tone bright, but slightly nervous as well. She’s such a sweet girl.
The pirate captain found that she apparently had a soft spot for young kids during the brief amount of time that Link’s sister had been onboard her ship. Of course, Aryll had been a bit more secluded at times, but still.
“Well, bein’ a pirate isn’t all fun an’ games. There’s a bunch o’ challenges out on th’ sea that most islanders don’t really need t’ worry ‘bout. Big Octos, fer instance. Those blasted squid show 'emselves at the worst times. Thankfully, yer seagull friends normally warn us when there’s one 'round,” Tetra winks at Aryll, “An’ as fer bein’ a princess… I don’t know much,” she confesses, “'Tis a title that I didn’ know I had 'till recently, an’ I still don’t really get it.”
She honestly was still trying to grasp what being descended from royalty truly meant. One of the things she did know was that responsibility was one of the greater aspects of it, and even though she was definitely capable of that(she was the captain of a pirate ship, after all), it still made the teen a little uncomfortable.
“Also, ya were technically a pirate fer awhile back there, remember?” Tetra adds, “I’m still a bit impressed with how well ya did.”
—— ◍ Challenges ?? Aryll could take a challenge or two !! Small fists curl up in defiance, believing Tetra to be dismissing her —— the compliment to her seagulls visibly relaxes her posture, however; she returns to a relaxed state of rapt attention.
“I was a pirate... ??” The girl bites her lip, trying very hard to remember. It only takes her a couple of seconds before a smile spreads across her face. “I was a pirate !! Can i be a pirate again ??!!” She adopts the doe eyes all young children know, the ones that are hard to refuse (not that Tetra would refuse anyways, right ?? Aryll is a capable young islander. She can even wield a telescope, for goddess’ sake !!)
