Or perhaps I was simply curious. Ladies go about their days meeting lords, princes, knights but pirates.
[ it's not that unusual for ladies to come find him in the hopes of hearing more of his adventures and he always thinks it's a pleasure. this time even more than usual since Eudio is still a new place for him. although perhaps he should get used to it since his reputation seems to have preceded him. ]

[ he flashes an ironic smile and starts pouring her a drink. the glass is nearly full before he stops. apparently he was feeling generous. ]
Was it the rum that brought you to my doorstep? Perfectly understandable, that.

And has this meeting lived up to your expectations?
no subject
