Alicia had remained as calm and serene as the moment she'd stepped into the arena, even as Luro laughed at her gesture before taking the money. It mattered not whether he valued the gesture or not, only that he received what was fair for his part in her final fight. As he took the money her hand drifted back to her side, resting upon the top of her sword as Luro's other crew mates appeared to arrive one by one, allowing her to observe them individually with moderate curiosity. Pirates had always been of interest to her, especially as they always seemed to tell great stories. It was then that the would be captain spoke, causing Alicia to give a small feminine chuckle as she mentioned the legend, "Nice to meet you Captain Runali, It seems even visiting pirates can't escape the rumors of the mysterious and ridiculous" she said with a soft smile before continuing, "And thank you, but I'm also visiting. I heard of a man naming himself a champion swordsman and felt I had to test his metal for myself. As I thought, his sword was merely made of hot air" she said with a slight expression of amusement at her own slight silliness. "I hope this doesn't offend you Captain, but you seem very young to be in the command of a pirate crew. However if your friend Luro here is any kind of indication to the strength of you and your crew, I do not envy your enemies" she said with a polite tip of her head.
It was then that one of her crew interjected with his introduction, introducing himself as Raymond Skalter. She noted his movements and smiled warmly, "You're from Lendrian?" she said semi rhetorically as she recognized the bow before she replied in kind, "Alicia Tashigi, it is a pleasure to meet you too Mister Skalter" she said as she placed her hand on her stomach, over the yellow band of the bow which held the rich blue fabric tightly around her waist, bending forwards slightly as she drew her other hand gracefully to her side, simultaneously bending her knees a little and sliding a foot behind the other so it all transitioned into a curtsy with a small bow. When she stood straight again she continued, "I'm glad you enjoyed my style, the sword is an art of which I've dedicated allot of myself too" she smiled, "So it's always nice to receive a compliment regarding it" she said before watching as he pulled out a rather ugly pistol, needless to say it looked ridiculous and clumsy. But then she thought that of most projectile weapons. As she watched the pirates converse among themselves she couldn't help but notice they were rather different to most of the other pirates she'd met along her journey. She couldn't quite put her finger on what it was though.
