Lyse 	Somewhere out there, across the water, is Yugiri and Gosetsu's homeland...
 	
Alisaie 	Woe betide any enemy foolish enough to attack by sea.
Now, if the Garleans were to bring their airships, on the other hand...
 	
Gosetsu 	The Hingans built this island as a bulwark against invasion, and filled it with enough cannons to sink an armada.
 	
Soroban 	Now, in order to reach the shores of Othard, you will need to cross the resplendent waters you see before you. However, this is easier said than done.
Soroban 	To set forth without making the necessary preparations is to invite the Confederacy to claim your vessel─and your life should you resist.
Soroban 	But this fate can be avoided by paying the Ruby Tithe, thereby earning you the blessing of the pirate lords.
Soroban 	So─let us go and greet them. Our destination is the isle to the west.
Lyse 	That doesn't look very far to me. [Player Name], why don't we jump in and swim for it? I've had my fill of boats.
Soroban 	Hmm, an excellent idea! I think you shall find the water to your liking.
Soroban 	I will use my ship to deliver those less inclined to the isle.
 	
Alisaie 	Not that I've anything against the occasional dip in the ocean, but to dive in on a whim is a bit...hm.
 	
Gosetsu 	Ho, what spirit you two have to delight in this simple joy so readily!
 	
Soroban 	Hm? Is Lyse not with you?
 	
Lyse 	Right, this should be easy! And a good way to loosen up before the next fight, whenever it comes.
Lyse 	Twenty gil says I beat you there!
 	
Lyse 	<pant> <pant> ...Not bad. We'll call it a draw!
 	
Soroban 	Ah, there you are. I trust you enjoyed yourselves.
Soroban 	Follow me, my friends. The one with whom we must speak is a man named Tansui.
 	
Lyse 	Ugh... My clothes have mostly dried, but they're a bit clingy. Still, no regrets!
 	
Alisaie 	I wonder─Lominsan pirates have been known to say things like, “Arrr,” but surely pirates on the opposite side of the world would use different expressions? “Errr,” or “Urrr,” or “Arururu,” perhaps?
 	
Gosetsu 	Doma's position on the Confederacy could be best described as one of “guarded acceptance.” They are pirates, aye, but they adhere to a code and are a stabilizing force in the Ruby Sea.
 	
Soroban 	This one is Tansui. Come, come, introduce yourselves.
 	
Tansui 	...I fear you have the advantage of me.
Tansui 	Most honorable and esteemed [Player Name]. I am Tansui, a humble mate who serves at the pleasure of the Confederacy's captain.
Tansui 	As you are in the company of the shellback, I presume we have business to discuss...
