You summed it up pretty well, kid. Fucking freaky.

[However, he still can't think of Ruana as being worse than Jason.]

What's Redeads?

[Oh Lancer, you just introduced Tetra to a new word.]

ReDeads are freaky zombie things with black eyes that glow red in the middle, kinda soulless. And when they scream, it's the worst sound ever. It gets right under your skin, kinda.

[Pausing. And then looking at him curiously. That new word is bugging her.]

"Fucking"?

I see.

[When she asks her question, he realizes what he had just done.]

It's something people say when they're surprised, but it's...not a good word for little lassies like you to use.

[Hopefully she won't hound him for a more detailed explanation.]

What about pirates? Do pirates say it?

[Be hounded. Tetra is not easily put off.]

[He has no idea how pirates pertain to either of them, but going by her tone, she seems pretty excited.]

...Yeah, the worst, naughtiest ones do anyway.

[Lancer hadn't met many pirates in his lifetime, but since they were sea raiders, they could be expected to have dirty mouths.]

[Shame she's not dressed like a stereotypical pirate.]

I guess the Great Pirate Tetra shouldn't then. My crew has a bit'a honor. Even if they're really dumb sometimes.

[Whew. Crisis averted.]

So, the little lassie is a pirate? Pretty impressive.

[He speaks in a half-amused, half-teasing tone. He has to wonder if her cruel is real or if she is playing make-believe like children are liable to do.]

[For now. Wait until the trolls get to her.]

I'm captain too. And don't forget that.

[Don't you mock her. She'll come and find you.]

Right. I'm sure the "crew" is quite happy to have such an adorable captain.

[And then what? Kick him in the shins?]

They respect me, just like they respected my mom.

[Stab him, more like.]

Your...mother?

[Sounds like the pirates might be real.]

So being a pirate runs in the family, huh?

Yeah. She was captain before she died and the crew stuck with me when I took over the ship.

[Very real.]

Kind of. We used to be the Royal Family of Hyrule but since Hyrule doesn't exist anymore, we moved on and eventually became pirates.

Oh.

[Now he feels a little bad for mocking her.]

I bet it's more fun for you being a pirate, though.

[He's seen a king's work. It's not fun.]

Way more fun. I can wear comfortable clothes instead'a stuffy dresses, fight and I don't have to fake bein' nice to people that are kinda jerks. Like Ganondork.

You keep referring to that guy. Who is he, anyway?

[Some kind of authority figure? A rival captain?]

He's a freak. He calls himself the Great King of Evil. And he turns into a giant pig but I bet he'd make really gross bacon. He used to try to conquer Hyrule before the Goddesses sank it and kidnapped Zelda. And then me.

Sounds like an ass--jerk.

[Being an ancient Celtic hero, he's not really freaked by the "turn into a giant pig" part.]

He is. A huge jerk.

[And when she says huge, she puffs herself up to look chubby and mimic Ganon. Pirate or not, she's still a kid and gets a kick out of mocking Ganon.]

[He can't contain his amusement and lets a couple chuckles slip out.]

For a King of Evil, it seems he doesn't exercise much. Or is he too busy eating and sleeping in pig mode?

He probably eats a lot'a ice cream an' junk because he's always getting the crap beat outta him by a kid in green.

Wow, he really doesn't live up to his name. Maybe he should just be the King of Ice Cream.

[That makes her laugh.]

I should sneak a bunch'a ice cream into his trunk one day and leave him a note that it's to help him feel like less of a failure!

[He joins in on the laughter.]

I'd help!

Great! Once I find some ice cream, I'll come an' find ya!

Maybe we should get him a pig doll too. Just in case the ice cream makes him feel worse!
