Ise found herself amused by Kabe’s energy and bravado as he rattled off the apparent titles that his ship had earned in its time, the exact reason she felt the name was familiar still escaped Ise but she decided it best not to potentially burst his bubble by outright saying as much, he was clearly rather proud of it and-
Ise’s train of thought paused as Kabe began to fill in some of the gaps for her, he mentioned operating in Arcosian space, and then very key, mentioned fighting ‘other’ Pirate crews. Her brother was a pirate though one that apparently preferred to face down OTHER pirates. Father had never liked pirates, for the exact reason that Arcosian space tended to have a rather high number of them, usually they were created via the various conquests the Empire engaged in, those unwilling or unable to fight ran and some of them decided to make a life among the stars by pillaging other travelers or Empire supply lines.
Ise was able from there to slot in HOW she recognized the ships name, it was among the ships considered an ‘acceptable presence’ due to the very behavior Kabe described, the Empire was willing to put up with a pirates presences as long as they neither became too ‘big’ and continued to strike down rivals. Father had not strictly been a fan of that with a ‘the only good pirate is a dead one’ stance but Ise could see the benefit in allowing such a crew to continue operation.
It was rather odd to realize that there HAD been a not insubstantial chance that prior to the Emperor’s death there was a non-zero chance of a hostile interaction between the Emperor’s Arm and the Jormungandr, even more that it was not unlikely SHE would have been fighting depending on when such an interaction might have occurred.
“Actually it was rather enli-” Ise was about to bring up the very situation she had on her mind, curious on Kabes own thoughts on the less friendly potential meeting they could have had when he… Ise was unsure EXACTLY what was happening as Kabe reached into his mouth and the entire feel of his pattern wavered and shifted and Ise was left dumbstruck as she attempted to puzzle out what the HELL was happening.
“What… what was that?? Did you just pull a hoverchair out of yourself? That…” Ise had seen actual LITERAL magic spells performed by Zerori and yet those made far more sense than whatever the hell Kabe had just done, Ise could feel the way Zerori’s energy interacted with the magic she manipulated. This however made no sense, Kabe’s mouth appeared to take on a pattern closer to what she could ‘feel’ from the void of space and then he dragged a completely unsoiled Hoverchair out of that void.
