Well since it's been established, at least a little bit, what's going on here, I will take this time to introduce myself across this weird... magic... book thing.

I am Toziko no Iratsume! Daughter of Soga no Umako and of the noble Soga Clan! I am to be married to Crown Prince Kamitsumiya no Umayado no Toyotomimi no Mikoto and I will not stand for anymore knavish behavior in the presence of proper ladies! So I am going to take this opportunity to instill in some of you commoners some proper manners.

Firstly, do not curse in front of a lady! Nasty language breeds contempt for a young man, so don't do it!

Secondly, do not spit, scratch yourself, or pick your nose! It's disgusting!

Thirdly, if you are to call upon a lady, you should call her by her proper name! Don't speak as if she's familiar to you, even if you've known her your whole life! Honestly, its just rude.

And finally, a young lady is to be treated with courtesy and chastity. If she requests you leave her presence, do so! Even if it means jumping into the sea!

... That is all. -She can only keep up this noble act for so long. Right now she really just want to go whine to Futo and cry for a bit more. She hated this place...-

Then we'll rely on her magic, and you can stay out of the way.

[toziko]

Don't tell me what to do!

[thethundersaid]

Fine, you can not listen to me and get stung by scorpions or captured by the Navy and -- [He doesn't actually know for sure what the Navy will do if they capture a pirate.

Being this size is seriously wrecking his patience. He heaves a sigh.]

Listen, you're normally more equipped to deal with things here. While you're not, it's in your interest to stay out of things, got it?

[toziko]

I'm not some waif, you know! I can fight!

[thethundersaid]

[For the first time today, he sounds something other than incredibly irritated.]

So you can use your magic like this, too?

[toziko]

Well... I don't know very well how to control it. Father says I shouldn't even use it in public...

[thethundersaid]

So then you're still no use to us as you are now.

[toziko]

D-don't say that! I'm not... useless... -There was a sniffle. Looks like that was a poor choice of words, Sasuke.-

[thethundersaid]

Well then, make yourself useful by doing the smart thing and staying out of the way. [Ninja world is short on sympathy for kids, alas.]

[toziko]

You... You're just rude! And cruel! And you still smell! -She slams her book closed.-
