[Mary curses as things get ready for a conflict. She's been a Sky Pirate for the month, but even without the job equipped she still has her hidden blade ready, as always. She flexes her wrist, feeling the weight, but she certainly doesn't wish to use it here.]

Being free means taking responsibility for what you do. But it also means knowing that you get to choose. Your actions make you and your heart tells you where to sail. Nothing worth doing is easy when it counts the most, especially being true to yourself. But that doesn't make it impossible or wrong.
