A Shy Dance
A fight breaks out, and a beautiful dancer emerges victorious. The dancer then decides to join the crew in search of a new, less womanizing partner.
(Captain) and crew arrive on an island with a bustling marketplace.
The crew enjoy themselves, moving from one stall to another. But the amiable atmosphere is soon broken by a voice—a voice that sounds rather irate.
Riffraff: Hehehe... Come on, baby. What've you got against me?
Gayne: Enough! There's nothing worse than a man who simply doesn't know when to give up!
Vyrn: Whoa! What's happening? They fighting?
Riffraff: Whad'ya say to me! Here I was trying to be a nice guy... Well, no more o' that!
Vyrn: Whoa! He's taking out his sword!
(Captain), we gotta stop him!
(Captain), we gotta stop him!
Vyrn: Hey, you! You'd better not lay a fing—
Riffraff: Nnagh!
Ooowch!
Ooowch!
Gayne: Haven't had enough? Let me make this clear: You lack the ability to keep up with my swordsmanship.
Gayne: If you wish to become my partner, come back when you're ready to put up a proper fight!
Vyrn: Not bad! She's got some serious skills!
Who is she?
Who is she?
Gayne: What?
Gayne: The better question is, who are you?
And what shameless staring! Some would take that as harassment!
And what shameless staring! Some would take that as harassment!
Vyrn: Er... I don't know what you were expecting flashing your sword around like that.
Gayne: Silence! I'm quite done with excuses!
Gayne: Hold on... There's something off about you. Perhaps that man is a friend of yours...
Lyria: Wait just a minute! (Captain)'s not a bad person!
Gayne: Aahh! A g-girl mixed in with all of you!
Gayne: Wh-what... What on earth is going on! Explain yourself!
Vyrn: Right, right. And so some things happened and, uh, (Captain) and Lyria kind of went halfsies on a soul.
Gayne: I see... Shared souls, flying lizards... Quite the fascinating tale...
Gayne: Hm... Perhaps you're not the evil bunch I had thought... Maybe all of you could...
Vyrn: Um, lady... would you mind speaking up...
Gayne: Well, that's that! (Captain)! Lyria! Er... Mr. Lizard...
Gayne: I beg you. My sword is ready! Become my partner!
Lyria: Huh?
Vyrn: What! Hey! I ain't no li—
Gayne: I could not have found a more perfect match! Let us go. We shall climb to the very heights of dance!
Vyrn: Whoa, there! What d'ya mean by partner? And climb what?
Vyrn: Try making some sense! How about you start with your name, lady!
Gayne: ...!
Oh, how rude of me. I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself.
Oh, how rude of me. I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself.
Gayne: I am Gayne, a traveling dancer. I had actually been traveling with a partner of mine. A swordsman...
The dancer Gayne begins to recount a tale. She and her partner had set out on a journey, dreaming of being a household name on every island.
But this partner of hers has quite a serious problem. When it comes to the ladies, he just can't help himself.
One night, he'd been at a tavern and managed to blow every last bit of the money they'd saved up on the local ladies. Once Gayne found out she...
Gayne: So I gave him a beating and threw him out.
Vyrn: Dang... A beating...
Gayne: Best decision of my life! That sword of his was the only thing he had going for him, anyway!
Gayne: Though he was quite the partner. I must give him that...
Gayne: In any event, since then I've been looking for someone to join me in my sword dancing.
Vyrn: Sigh...
So you thought you'd roll out the carpet for us.
So you thought you'd roll out the carpet for us.
Vyrn: Hey, lady. We've got stuff we gotta do too ya know. Right, (Captain)?
Gayne: Stuff?
Vyrn: Yeah! We're skyfarers trying to collect all the pieces of the Sky Map!
Gayne: Really? Then let's begin this instan—
Vyrn: Hey! Were you not listening earlier? Sky. Map. That's what we're after!

Gayne: So you're saying you travel throughout the skies?
Vyrn: Exactly... We're travelers looking for something, just like you.
Gayne: Well, then! (Captain)? Perhaps you'd allow me to come with you and your friends?
Vyrn: Wait a second! What happened to the dancing?
Gayne: I can't do anything of the sort without a partner...
Gayne: So I wonder if a journey throughout the skies might help me find a new one.
Gayne: And should you change your mind, (Captain), I will waste no time taking you for myself! You would be fantastic!
Choose: We'd love to have you!
Gayne: Truly? Oh, thank you!
Gayne: ...!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Gayne: Prepare yourself for a lesson in the true beauty of sword dancing!

Lyria: Wow! I can't wait!
Vyrn: (Ya know... I get the feeling only her previous partner has enough patience to deal with her...)
Gayne: What was that?
Vyrn: Huh! Nothin'! Nothin' at all!
And so the crew continue their journey, finding a new friend in a rather passionate sword dancer.
The story of her being reunited with her freewheeling former partner is something for another time.
