I heard Dear Mun needed more 'space pirates'

[spacecaptain]

[ After much brooding contemplation on his part, Harlock finally finds the will to speak. While he's uncertain of what lies ahead for this unlikely union between muse and mun, he doesn't rebuke the thought of trusting her.

At least not yet. ]

...If you want to join my crew-- [ An uneasy silence follows until he speaks again. ]

You better be ready to not only fight but die for freedom. This is the only warning I'll give you.

Hmph, "Freedom" ...

There are causes far more worthy of death than the type of cage you feel more comfortable imprisoned in.

[barebacking]

A man who fights for freedom... but freedom for whom?

Do you not find anything exciting about the bonds that we find ourselves occasionally tied up in?

[spacecaptain]

Perhaps.

[ He grew sick of cages eons ago. ]

Though, this is what I choose to fight for.

[swordmagic]

Judging by that scar, you need to refine your cause.

...Or your technique.

[spacecaptain]

For humanity.

[ He answers quickly without even a thought. As many times as Harlock had this conversation in the past with others, his answer comes with ease. ]

I was never one for chains.

[barebacking]

Humanity, and no one else?

[ ...................... ]

But it seems like they suit you.

[spacecaptain]

[ That comment almost wins a smile from Harlock. ]

A scar defines a man and also refines his cause.

[spacecaptain]

For all those who believe in freedom.

[ He finally replied after getting a good look at the blond. ]

...In the past, they did.

[swordmagic]

[There's nothing even close to one from Khint.]

And indicates an error in judgement.

It suggests a man with an enemy not looking to kill, not with that strike, more to teach a lesson and force you to bear the mark of that error for all the world to see.

[barebacking]

[ A noncommittal sound. ]

Is that where you got that scar?

[spacecaptain]

You're quick to assume.

[ Harlock acknowledges with a hint of intrigue in his tone. ]

[spacecaptain]

[ Harlock gives the elf a second glance. ]

Perhaps.

[ He's quite tight-lipped as of how he got this scar. ]

[swordmagic]

Or to state the obvious.

[Just as deadpan as ever, his eyes as cold as ever. But he wouldn't be talking to this person still if he found him uninteresting.]

[barebacking]

Well, it makes you look quite dashing.

[spacecaptain]

[ He honestly figured that much given that the boy doesn't seem like the type to strike up idle conversation with anyone. The two of them are similar in that regard despite their obvious differences. ]

I'll leave it to your assumption.

[spacecaptain]

[ Dammit, Yaha! No. He just eyes the elf for that comment. ]

I've been called many things but never that.

[ He's a terrorist, criminal, murderer, and a known threat to the universe. He's not suppose to be...dashing, elf. ]

[barebacking]

You're not ever told about how handsome you look?

That is a shame.

[spacecaptain]

I'm an outlaw. None of that truly matters to me.

[barebacking]

I suppose when you are as you are... such things wouldn't matter.

[bloodredpath]

So grim, hm?

[spacecaptain]

The price of freedom often is.

[bloodredpath]

Of course. And have they given you an answer?

[spacecaptain]

She reprimands me for doubting her.

[ He smirks somewhat. ]

[spacecaptain]

Of course not.

[ There's more important matters for him to worry about. One such matter being his missing Arcadia right about now. ]

Who are you?

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Die for freedom? How dreadful...
