It would be far too long in the telling for the present— perhaps another time, though there are certainly many to choose from. I was on my way to steal back my ship before I found myself here.
[Also a long story.]
Quite rude of them not to let me bring it along, on that note. A pirate without a sky is a travesty.
Sounds like an adventure. And something you ought to share! I want to know all about why your ship needed to be stolen back! Does it have a name, too? All good ships have the best names! They're supposed to be as memorable as their captains!
[ She's beaming now. ]
A lot of good having a ship will do here, though, but I still want to see one! I miss seeing airships about and I never thought I'd even think about a time without them!
[ If there are details to give, they'll be given, and it's nothing she needs to press on. That's just her way. She does note he likes diverting the subject onto her, but she's also not surprised or put off. They're strangers after all, for now. ]
That sounds like a strong name. And aye, they are. Bit pricey at times, but they get the job done. My brother does repairs on them at times! He's an engineer!
[Even in a world that isn't his own, it's second nature to dodge questions that might reveal more of himself than he's prepared for— old habits die hard, especially when there are frequently bounty hunters after your head.]
Ah, I see— so you're not at all unfamiliar with them.
[Though he doubts that any are as sleek as the Strahl, pride aside.]
We run a small operation. I have a partner, and a team of moogles who act as crew— engineering geniuses in their own right.

[A brief, succinct answer that only addresses a small part of what she wants to know, but easy enough to share.]
Airships are common in Eorzea too, then? I imagine I'd find use for one here regardless, were one made available to me— I am not easily deterred.

Did you have a big crew back in your world, too?
