[AH! She swivels around toward the voice, putting a hand to her chest and grinning out of instinct -- but then it lessens into a more genuine, natural little smile. You frightened her! But she recovers well.]

Oh, me? I -- I suppose I am! Where I'm from, the ocean is all around you.

[incousinswithyou]

[that's definitely a plus in Michiru's book]

Do you live on an island, then? Or on a ship?

[scrubscrub]

An island, miss. I'm from an island, though I've been away from it for a very long time.

But I've been sailing with a pirate crew, on a ship... So I suppose it's both!

[incousinswithyou]

I see. [yup, this kid is cute. The pirate thing is slightly worrying, but the kid seems fine about it..?]

I lived near the shore, but it doesn't look like I've had quite as many adventures as you have.

[scrubscrub]

[Pirates are totally cool, Michiru, what are you talkin' about.]

I-it's true... I've been to quite a few places. While I always wish I had never been taken, I try to look at things positively! I was very fortunate to get away and start my journey home. The ocean really is a wonderful place, isn't it?

[incousinswithyou]

[between being "taken" and "pirates," you're not really making a strong case for the pirates here.]

You were taken by the pirates?

[scrubscrub]

Oh, no, miss! I was taken by slavers.

But I was very fortunate -- I, I was able to escape some years later. A fishman pirate crew was very kind to decide to take me back home to my island, is what happened...!

[incousinswithyou]

[oh geeeez. Poor kid.

Softly:] I'm sorry that happened.

[a pause, and then here's a quiet smile] It looks like I've heard only the bad things about pirates.

[scrubscrub]

Oh, I understand... there are a lot of bad pirates in my world, too.

Horrible, terrible pirates! Ones that steal and hurt people and... well... I learned recently but everything has a good and bad, don't they?

[incousinswithyou]

[that's a hard learned lesson for her too. Sort of. Not that she regrets anything.]

It definitely is, especially when you're talking about people.

Some people though, [and her eyes soften a bit] have a sort of goodness that just shines.

[scrubscrub]

[She laughs kindly, hands behind her back.]

That's true, isn't it! There are so many wonderful people here who shine every time I see them!

It makes me so happy to know them.

[incousinswithyou]

Then you must be blessed.

[minus all the stuff with the slavery and the lost childhood. And then having to go through kidnapping Round 2, courtesy of Atroma.

Here's a smile.] My name is Michiru.

[scrubscrub]

M-my name is Koala, miss. I apologize for not introducing myself immediately!

You love the ocean very much, don't you?
