001 | [Voice/Action aboard the Shepherd]
[So it's been a bit of time since she and Robin have been rescued by the good people aboard the Shepherd. She had jumped overboard to save Robin, who had been knocked away by a massive storm.
That she directed the ship into.
Oops.
It's something that's been digging into her ever since it happened. Navigating wasn't exactly her expertise, but she should at least have been able to recognize that a storm was coming. Right? She's done her best to keep a brave face, especially in front of Robin. Still, the young mermaid works hard to show the crew of the Shepherd her gratitude, from making snacks to cleaning. It might take the crew a little while to get used to the sight of a green-haired mermaid floating around the ship on a giant bubble, though.
Still, when she's alone, the guilt of the storm continues to eat at her. She knows she can't allow something like that to happen again. Everyone made it out unharmed, but she might not be so lucky next time. If someone was seriously hurt because of her incompetence, she would never be able to forgive herself.]
Is there... someone out there who's really good at navigating? Could they, maybe, give some lessons to someone who really wants to learn?

[Voice]
[Why yes, she just ordered you to take navigating lessons from Smoker without even asking him first.]
He's already teaching Spock, so it should be no problem for him to fit in another student.
[Voice]
[She looks down at her hands in her lap. Since she was picked up by the Shepherd, she's felt as if she was a burden. Now, she almost feels like she's confirmed the feeling.]
Y-yes ma'am. Thank you.
[Voice]
Chin up dear, I am letting you learn under one of the greatest minds my crew has to offer. He may look a little rough around the edges, but he is certainly a fine man.

I just didn't want to be such a bother.

I owe him for a lot.

[WHOLE ISLANDS?!?! Maribelle is just inwardly freaking the hell out.]
How in the world did he manage to save you from something like that? Did he just happen to have a passing armada of ships?

[She suddenly has a lot more respect for that simpleton's strength... that and Smoker's for being a Vice-Admiral in a world like that.]
I suppose I should be grateful that he isn't quite an enemy of mine.

What kind of good, and how did he manage to save you more than just from a giant mermaid eating sea monster?
no subject
[Just gonna look down at her hands again.]
He saved me from... being sold as a slave to a noble.
no subject
[She's read her history, she knew slavery was even still commonplace in her world. But a noble? What kind of barbaric civilization did her world have?]
Such barbarism hasn't been outlawed in your world?! And a noble no less was the one who was going to own you?! I hope he killed the dastard rather than just punching him in the stomach! He is clearly a disgrace to his station, and were he brought before me in the courts of Ylisse, I would have seen that he were hung at the gallows!

[She clenches her fists.]
no subject
How dare they! I know exactly what you speak of, as a species known as the Tanguel suffered a fate almost identical to yours... they were often kept as pets until they grew older and became slaves, or worse.
The sheer outrage of it all I just... NNG! I'm coming over there!
[Maribelle closes her journal, and soon there's the sound of her boots clopping down the hall as she makes her way towards Keimi's location.]
no subject
[Too late. She's already coming. Keimi had found a quiet corner of the ship to get some privacy, but now it looks like that privacy was over.]
no subject
Keimi... I have something very important that I want you to give that straw hat boy when you see him.

[She freezes for a moment. This was the last thing she was expecting from the up until now very formal woman. Slowly, she returns the hug, first simply draping her arms around Maribelle's back, then tightening her grip as the hug becomes more earnest.]
no subject
Now... please don't tell anyone about this, I have an image to maintain, and I can't very well let the cutthroat pirates out there know how sentimental I can get. And when you give this to him, please don't tell him it was me... just say that it was a friend of yours, or that I've come to understand him a little better.
