Askin' me two differnt questions there, man. Phoenix Pirates don't pick crew. Yer in or y' ain't, an' if yer in, y' know it an' y' know why. If y' ain't, y' ain't gonna understand.

As for how I got caught up in piracy, jus' gonna say this. Got caught up in a buncha differnt whaleshit when I's a smolt. Piracy worked out t' be the best bet.

[There's an odd hardness in those words, and in his expression.]
