Seeing as how the witch has taken the lead of the conversation, he quickly thought of a valid reason to give her. But would she really believe that Maverick was just travelling around the world, in search of knowledge and history? Maybe, but he'll know after seeing her response to his answer.
﻿
"San Choi Udzhal, scribe, scholar and scientist. As well as traveler. Though, people tend to call me Maverick if that's simpler for you. I came to Kazumaki after hearing a couple of matters related to science."

A look of amusement had found its way onto Maverick's face. This situation was quite... Peculiar. It's safe to say he has had his fair share of interesting situations he's gotten himself into, yet somehow still left unscathed. Well, that could change today seeing the witch provoke him in a way unique to her 'fiery' nature. Not that it really mattered to him, new experience were there form him to learn from.

"Relax, consider this, if I'd just reported you to the pirates and sailors nearby, don't you think that you'd be their honored guest by now?"

A clear tone of voice, indistinguishable to the bystanders passing by, only for her to hear. Who he was and what his true intentions were here in Kazumaki were all but simple. To only come here, out of all places possible, for science? Hard to believe considering what little advancement there may be here, having only *Started* On the research in harnessing electricity.

"Just a confirmation of suspicions. You don't get to meet prominent figures from the past everyday now, do you?"

The witch had a point, travelling around the world and doing nothing with the knowledge and history was quite strange. But for Maverick, not at all. To uncover the truth of this world was his 'ultimate' goal. What he would do after that? Not a clue, but that thought was for after he achieves his goal. Even if it takes a lifetime.

"Though it may seem strange, I have my reasons. You see, I know *A lot* About a lot of things. Even though I know a whole lot, I *Want* To know more. The tales of your crew are just one of many pieces of history I know."

Digging up the past holds a lot of risks and dangers, and some things are just meant to be left uncovered. Though, for Maverick that wasn't a problem. He had a way of searching for the **Real** Truth, a way that even the top scholars of Ambrosia didn't know about. Yet why didn't he share it with the world?

`"Huh,"` Mumbled the red-head in wonder, feet dragged a few steps back whilst her head gradually bobbed up and down, openly looking at the scholar from head to toe. The complexity of garments in terms of quality and design, how the tiniest detail in stature when he dazzled to scoop her away, and manners to patiently ask for her time, screamed of prestigious nobility. It made sense. . That her mouth fell flat on a straight line. 

There's only one place with people the same as him. That one place she **Despised** The most. 

`"Hah. And you'd think a band of goody-two-shoes pirates can take me?"` That thought was yanked away by reality when he mentioned reporting her. An arrogant huff crackled from Anastacia, hands locked on her hips as her tongue spoke of distaste. The hushed tone breaking apart like a thin thread that barely held back her ferocity. Her manner of speech slightly shifting to how she used to speak as a pirate. `"Those spineless scallywags are nowhere near pirates. They sail the seas like it's the enemy, all for those landlubbers!"` To exaggerate this 'fault', the red-head threw her hands in the air out of frustration, only to snap back again on her speech. `"But you see. . Seas are meant to be conquered, explored!"` 

A pause, another unorthodox idea churning her thoughts, as her head enthusiastically turned to the scholar.

`"You, could be a pirate!"`

Exclaimed Anastacia in a shrill, gleeful laughter. Her hand reaching out to the man as if beckoning the other to follow, while she advanced towards the last planks of the docks. Before them was the clear view of the shore, extending its vast depths to the other side of the continent, far from their view. The wooden boards creaked under her weight, whilst her hair was blown back into a frenzy state that matched her high energy. 

`"There's a lot more mysterious stuff in the sea than inside the kingdom walls, y'know?"`

For a moment he noticed those tiny, micro reactions coming from the witch, screaming hatred about something, yet Maverick didn't quite understand why... Was it the fact that he's dressed differently than the rest of Kazumaki? Or was it because it reminded her of something? He'll have to find out next time, if there even is one.

"I'm sure you'll be able to take on even the toughest pirates, seeing as how despite the odds, your crew still managed to sail the seas. Though even I would have trouble facing a horde of them."

He said in a playful manner after swiftly follow her path through the docks. That sweet air of the sea he quite vividly remembered after his last time here in Kazumaki. He'll probably be visiting this place more in the future since science is growing at a rapid pace.

The thought of having to explore the depths of the ocean and its mysteries have definitely crossed his mind ever now and then. But to do it as a pirate? Now that's something he definitely didn't think of. To sail the seven seas in search of treasure, *History* And ***Knowledge***? That doesn't sound too bad, but he would definitely need a lot of resources to start a crew himself, including a ship which he didn't have. Well, it's a worry for another time. Focusing on what's already possible is more important to him for now, if the possibility ever came across him to become a sailor of the seven seas than he'll consider it depending on the circumstances.

"There are certainly mysteries left uncovered regarding the vast seas of Ambrosia, but as a pirate? That takes a little convincing for me. Remaining a low profile takes quite a lot of work, so I can't just let it go without a 'proper' plan."

He lifted a hand to partially hide the stiffled laughter he let out, it was an amusing thought to say the least. The old Maverick would no doubt have denied such a thing, but you live and you learn I guess.

`"Proper plan? You don't plan to become a pirate, you just become one!"` Insisted the fiery-headed with a carefree laugh, throwing her head back and letting the breeze carry away those worries. `"It's just what you do, you make your own rules. Ye can't sit still 'round 'ere waitin' for, what, something different? Science?"`

San previously mentioned this 'science', she recalled. If her memory serves her right, it must've been the energy resource project to harness electricity– that countless of months or years to be completed. It was great to see these new innovations prosper, but for Anastacia, it was just waiting for a miracle to happen, for something new and different to make the rest of your day better. On the other hand, the seas were unpredictable, unimaginable. You'll never be prepared for what's coming next. 

`"Hah, when you're in a band of weird fellas, you won't get noticed at all."` Anastacia shook her head from side to side disapprovingly in regards to his concern about *Keeping a low profile*. She firmly believes that hiding around will get you nowhere, and it's much better to outrun and outsmart those trying to chase you. 

`"Plus, I'm lookin' for my crew. Positive that they're out here somewhere."` The laughter and jests gradually died down by a look of seriousness settling down on her gaze, which stared at the distant horizon by the sealine. Finally confessing her intent as to why she reappeared back at Kazumaki. 

`"Wanna come with and try to find them? I could use a traveler. I'm not much into locating wanted pirates."`

Searching has never been her strong suit, being one that would rather rattle the situation or face onwards, instead of all that mind mapping. Make enough noise for the crew to recognize a fellow mate. Hence, her reckless tantrum earlier. Anastacia believed that the word of mouth tactic would bring those lost causes out of the shadows.

"Perhaps a little madness is essential in uncovering the unknown, I'll give you that."

Common pirates of the seas of Ambrosia were indeed wild and chaotic. Maybe in the near future he'll try letting go and sail in the great seas. Not that he doesn't have that much to let go off, it was all in his mind and in his morals. This encounter with the witch was far from natural, it went almost too smooth even for Maverick... Maybe it was because they were possibly friends in other universes? Well that wasn't necessarily out of the question considering how many timelines and realities there could be.

"Well, that may work for some, but once you stand out too much, you're bound to catch someone's attention. Whether it's good, or bad~. But if it's worked for you than I won't say anything, haven't tested that theory out myself."

A teasing gesture could be seen coming from him, as if to say 'not judging or anything, but...'. Everybody had their own way of living, and Maverick had no intention of changing them. He let out another stifled laughter in response to her disagreement, he guessed he still has much to learn regarding pirates and their 'different' way of living.

Of course the witch of the fallen pirate crew would be looking for them here, it's not like she'd step foot into Kazumaki just to stir in trouble and leave again. Maybe this could be an opportunity to learn more about them, and the opportunity to learn, Maverick would never turn down. He just has to be careful that he doesn't cross the line or he might just be cooked, for real this time.

"Seeing how you don't know the exact location of your crew mates, I'm guessing you don't have any other clues? Well, I'd understand if you don't want to get ambushed by some poor way of communication."

Maverick didn't have a sure way of locating her fellow pirates, it could be possible through his magic but the chances would still be small. Though, considering they are pirates, a fallen crew of pirates at that, they'd think to meet up at a simple place such as... A broken ship in an isolated part of the shore? It's not like they could just gather an entire crew without being noticed in the middle of the city.

"Sure, I'll help you find them. Though are you not hungry? Just a second ago you were complaining about an empty stomach, so I'd guess you'd want to eat something while searching for them. My treat of course."

`"Seems like I caught your attention too. Wouldn't that be in a good way, San?"` 

A smirk quipped her cheeks, a glint of arrogance emanating from the hot-headed once again. For a wanted pirate, Anastacia seemed to elevate herself on a high pedestal, reciprocating the tease that the scholar initiated. 

It's been a long, *Long* Time since she got on good terms with someone. It felt. . Nice. 

Her gaze redirected to the distant ports and fishermen's boats tucked by the edges of the docks. Truth to be told, the witch doesn't have the slightest idea on where to start. Which corners to check, or who to approach.

If only she could just. . . Submerge the entirety of Kazumaki in a wildfire. Things would be so. . Much. . Easier. 

At the mention of food, the redhead bobbed her face up eagerly, seemingly piqued by the offer almost immediately, not even considering the possibility that there might be a catch to this. 

`"I almost forgot! Got too caught up on our chit chat here. . ."` Scratching the back of her head, Anatascia's voice trailed off in a pause. She hadn't noticed how far their conversation escalated, it's oddly natural. `"Yeah, yeah, I'm starvin'. I'll let you pick the place, being a 'keep-a-low-profile' you are. Aren't you afraid that you'd get caught with me?"`
