Aw, shucks! The ladies are safe around me. [He says bashfully with a grin.] I had enough of robbin' and looting the pretty gals. The last lady I tried to mug was that mean ol' Valdis.

[Bastien can't help but frown a little. He's still mad at himself for sinking so low. Usually he would've let such a pretty young thing go but he was desperate and confused. Bastien had a rough arrival.]

Merfolks are a rarity in general, so I'm a certain I'm the first merpirate in this part of the sea. [He grins toothily at Jacen as he attempts to climb onto the pier. It's a little bit of a challenge when he lacks legs but Bastien manages with ease despite being completely drenched. The merpirate is far stronger than he seems.]

Unfortunately, no! Me ship sank to the bottom of the sea prior with my poor...[A sigh escapes him.] Poor crew.
