"Help! Please send help!" Esperia heard an unfamiliar voice call for help from the direction of the beach, and calmly approaching the one calling for aid the young woman's gaze drifted to the man: soaked to the bone and judging from his clothes a merchant of sorts. Although she hesitated to ask, her curiosity ended up getting the better of her. "What is going on sir?"
The question of Esperia beckoned the attention of the merchant to her almost immediately, to the point it almost felt disturbing how quickly he saw her as a beacon of hope, as if he had been looking for someone to save the day. "Pirates miss! there are pirates at the beach and they been kidnapping people!"
Wait... Pirates? Again?! Esperia couldn't help but groan audibly at the mentioning of the pirates. How many times now had she dealt with pirates? In fact it seemed like they were appearing as fast as bunnies could breed! "Fine, please go and alert the guard that they tell everyone to stay clear of the beach."
Of course the merchant hesitatingly asked her a question that in hindsight should have been obvious already. "But what about the kidnapped citizen?" Esperia's lips curved up in a smile as she hummed softly, sensing a subtle stirring from the bandaged weapon on her back. "By the time I'm back at the port everyone will be home again and the pirates gone~"
