Rory: Ah! *takes in a deep breath* I love that salty smell!
Tara: Wow... the ocean is unbelievable!
Rory: *grins devilishly* And ya' see that thar ship out there? *points*
Tara: ...yeah?
Rory: *chuckles* Yer lookin' at the first mate! Ah...the Blood Diamond. Isn't she a beaut?
Tara: I'm sorry, I don't know what a first mate is. And I'm probably not the best judge of ships either *chuckles*
Rory: *his head sags* Aye... Poseidon help me. But believe me, she's a grand thing. Fastest thing on the water! Nothin' can catch 'er!
Tara: Not even sea monsters?
Rory: Sea monsters? *tries to keep a straight face, but ends up laughing so hard he has to wipe a tear out of his eyes* Aye...that's a good one, Missy!! Sea monsters...hahah.
Tara: Wh-what? I wouldn't laugh at sea monsters!
Rory: Thar's no such thing as a sea monster!! *laughs again*
Tara: There isn't? ..I bet there is and you just haven't seen one!
Rory: I've been on the sea since I was half yer size and I've never seen a monster! 'Cept the captain...but he doesn't count, salty ol' sea bird.
Tara: I've never been to the sea before. It's pretty but it seems scary..
Rory: Oh yes...I've seen sharks that could eat you in one bite and scallywags that could easily give the king a run for his money! ...I love it!
Tara: Really? You're so brave!
Rory: *grins* Oh yes. That's the life of a pirate though. The name's Skirm, missy. Rory Skirm.
Tara: Nice to meet you, I'm Tara!
Rory: Ah! Tara! A lovely name indeed to match such a lovely face!
Tara: *blushes* Thank you..
Rory: So you said you've never been out on the sea before? Maybe I could take you out some time.
Tara: Sure! That would be lovely!
Rory: *grins* I could fly ya' over now if you wanted?
Tara: You could??
Rory: *flaps his wings* Of course. Wouldn't be a problem at all!
Tara: Sure then!
Rory: *in one swift unexpected motion, he sweeps her up into his arms* Them we're off?
Tara: *tenses in surprise* Y-yeah!

Rory: This 'ere is the galley...Where One Eye does most of the cookin'.
Tara: He.. only has one eye?
Rory: Nope. He has both eyes. He's missin' a leg though.
Tara: Oh.. I'm glad you have all of your limbs.
Rory: Yep. Both wings, both arms, both legs. I'm a lucky one alright. Got me a few good scars, but if you ask me, they look pretty darn good.
Tara: *grins* They make you look rugged and handsome...
Rory: *runs a hand through his hair* You flatter me! *stops* Oh...and that thar's Captain West. I'd keep my distance if I were you.
Tara: Oh.. is he mean?
Rory: He doesn't usually take too kindly to others on his ship... *shrugs*
Tara: Oh... maybe we should go back to shore then...
Rory: Haha! He wouldn't hurt ya'! *leans in close and whispers* Between you and me, he's a bit softie.
Tara: *smiles* Oh okay. I'm not used to authority always being so nice
Rory: Don't tell him I said that though. I'd like to keep both my wings on my back, thank ya' very much! He's got a kid I heard though. Made him a little too soft if ya' ask me.
Tara: Aw kids are so cute though! I want kids someday...
Rory: Really? Hm...you look like you'd make some cute kids.
Tara: *giggles* Well so would you!
Rory: Ya think? *laughs* I can't see myself as a dad. Interfere with plunderin' and such.
Tara: Well maybe you can plunder now and someday, when you have a family, you won't have to anymore
Rory: Then 'ow am I s'pposed to be a livin'?
Tara: Well if you make enough then you can retire!
Rory: Ya' think so? Hm...I dunno'. I couldn't just leave the sea like that!
Tara: Hmm.. I don't think I could be out at sea for very long. I'm already starting to feel sick!
Rory: *laughs* Then I best be gettin' you back ya' landlubber. *shakes his head* Yer just like my lil' sister.
Tara: Oh... your sister?
Rory: Yep. Haven't seen her in a while though...
Tara: How come?
Rory: Eh...we've been travelin' for a while...
Tara: Oh. Me and my brother travel together
Rory: Really? I'd take my sister with me, but she doesn't need to be 'round these folk. 'Specially One Eye. *chuckles* That scallywag.
Tara: Yeah.. I wouldn't want to be around a bunch of people like this for long either..
Rory: They're a good lot though. 'Eh!! Meridian! Paws off my whiskey! Sheesh...crazy cat. *laughs* So, you wanna' get outta' 'ere?
Tara: Yeah.. probably should..
Rory: *picks her up again* Sounds like a plan then! 'Sides. It's gonna' be dark soon.
Tara: Yes, I should be getting back to my brother..
Rory: Well then, off we go. *takes off*

===Support Level A ===
Tara: Hmm.. he certainly acted like he liked me.. but then I "remind him of his sister?" What does that mean? *sighs*
Rory: Oceanus my foot...rotten Sea Devils... *spits*
Tara: If only there was some way of knowing.. Oh! Hello Sir Rory!
Rory: Tara? 'Ey? What're you doin' out right now?!
Tara: Why shouldn't I be out?
Rory: Bad business. Oceanus just docked 'ere. C'mon. Let's getcha' out 'ere. *takes here by the hand*
Tara: *smiles to herself as they hold hands* Wait, whats Oce- what's that?
Rory: Not a good mate...Used to be a friend of Captain West. Went cra-zy if ya' ask me. Ya' don't wanna' be 'round for the fight.
Tara: Oh.. well where should we go then?
Rory: You best be off with yer brother. I'm gonna' have ta' head back to help the captain.
Tara: Oh.. You don't want to.. stay with me?
Rory: I would if I could. Believe me...but Captain West is gonna' need my help and I don't want you to get hurt...or see what we're gonna' do to that sea rat.
Tara: But..but.. If I'm in danger, I need protection!
Rory: True...but I can't leave Captain West either...
Tara: *sigh* I see..
Rory: ...Why? Ya' think you'll need my protection?
Tara: I don't know... you made it sound so dangerous...
Rory: 'Tis...It's gonna' be one helluva' fight, believe me. He's got a grudge bigger than Poseidon himself against me...Geh. The last thing I need is you gettin' hurt because a' that.
Tara: *smiles* How is it you talk like that, like youre some sort of monster, when you're so sweet?
Rory: *stops walking* I'm a pirate, Tara. I've done some things I regret. 'Kay?
Tara: Oh? Like what?
Rory: ...A while back...I kidnapped some noble girl for money...
Tara: ...what.. happened to her?
Rory: 'Er father never came for her. That plan screwed up big time. 'Er brother...he was just a kid, finally came with the ransom... I didn't touch 'er if that's whatch 'er thinkin'.
Tara: No, no, that's not.. So you only took her hostage? She returned home safely?
Rory: 'Er brother took 'er home I guess. *shrugs* Oceanus is the one that set the stable on fire.
Tara: The stable?
Rory: Oceanus got pissed. Decided to pick on them some more. Set a lot of their estate on fire. Didn't kill no one, but all the same...we...screwed up big time...
Tara: That's.. that's not your fault. You didn't mean any harm
Rory: *looks down* ...
Tara: Hey.. *lifts his chin up* I know you're a pirate, but I can tell deep down you're also a really good person
Rory: *shakes his head and smiles a bit* Think whatcha' want, Missy. I'm just an ol' scallywag.
Tara: I've seen truly evil people, Sir Rory. *smiles* As much as you like to pretend, I know you're not one of them.
Rory: *chuckles* Not all pirates're evil. Some're just troublemakers. *picks her up again* Like me.
Tara: *laughs* Hey!
Rory: *laughs then grows a bit more serious* I still have ta' fight though. I have a few things to settle with this guy...
Tara: Yes.. you're right.. *kisses him then giggles* I'll be waiting for you when you've settled it!
Rory: *sets her down, his face bright red* I'll make this as quick as possible!! I'll tear his...erm...Forget I mentioned it.
Tara: *laughs as she watches him quickly leave* Looks like he liked me after all!

Rory, Scallywag of the Sky, and Tara, Flirtatious Noblewoman
Rory courted Tara for over a year, showing her the life of a pirate while she introduced him to a life of civility. Despite that the two had passionate feelings for each other, their relationship did not last. Rory had a deeper love for the sea and adventure, and Tara for the simplistic life of a "land lubber." Still, the two remained close, and their love often rekindled when Rory occasionally returned from the sea.
