Luro just grinned at the idea of socializing normally though he wondered if he was missing something about it, he normally interacted with people like this. He was polite and let her know that he was going to do it first of course, he learned from his previous times when he forgot to ask.
He looked down at his wrist when Risa grabbed it but followed after seeing the captain and Alicia had left, when they went through the shop he offered a wave to Simon and gave a small thumbs up when he mentioned fixing the ship before he was dragged into the back room.
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped just a little as he stared at the almost endless potential he was currently surrounded by, when Risa told him he could take whatever or at least that's what he heard Luro's hand curled into a fist before he turned to Risa.
"Don't move," he said before turning and dashing out of the room.
He promptly returned with the sack he used to carry the guns in from Utsukushi and dropped it on the ground before cracking his fingers and grinning as he went over to the boxes and started digging in them.
He pulled out all manners of objects and did take a few blueprints with him, surprisingly not all of them were for weapons and he stuffed everything into his bag with a wide grin, to him this was the equivalent of a child in a free candy store and he wasn't about to pass up the opportunity.
Luro took out a small toy and kneeling down on one knee immediately started taking it apart, his attention immediately focused on the object and his hands seemed constantly in motion as he quickly but gently took the toy apart.
"You know someone told me once that to understand something you gotta take it apart and put it together with it still functioning afterwards, do it over and over again till you memorize everything about it with your fingertips not your eyes. He told me that's the reason why we can't understand people...kinda silly right but I understood what he meant back then."
After a brief moment Luro put the toy back together and giving it a little flick caused it to start moving, he grinned and stopped it before taking it apart again.
"I tried to take apart the Coral Pearl with that reason but the captain politely refused, with her size it would have taken a bit to put back together and we had stuff to do. Still I know her like the back of my hand even though I didn't take her apart, which made me think maybe we can understand people another way too, or something like that. I believe that's what he wanted to teach me back then, he just gave me a little push in the right direction. Oh did I sound fancy there for a second."
Luro chuckled to himself and stood up before walking over to Risa and handing her a mechanical rose, he grabbed his sack and threw it over his shoulder.
"If you hit that button it'll bloom," he said pointing at it. "What I mean is when you understand something you come to appreciate it more. It's not much compared to money but it's the first thing I've made with the knowledge you've given me so it's a symbol or something, not many lasses out there have shown me a new world so I appreciate it and the kindness shown towards myself and everyone in the crew. You've been a big help and I wanted to thank you, I anticipate I'll end up back here eventually, probably in the far future when that happens I hope you'll extend the same kindness. I feel I've come to understand you just a little more thorough your kindness."
Luro rubbed the back of his head with a small chuckle.
"Anyway I've thanked you and acted mature enough, time to go out and be myself again. See ya Risa!"
With that Luro walked out the door waving to Simon along the way before walking out of the door, however he didn't head towards the Coral Pearl, he headed back in the direction of the streetcar, there was one thing he needed to do first.
A young man seemed to be looking through a carefully constructed list as he stood in front of one of the large ships, he heard a loud noise behind him before an arm wrapped around his shoulder as Luro leaned forward staring at the ship in question. Luro had his notebook in his left hand and the young man seemed a bit taken aback by the friendly embrace as Luro stared up at the ship his large almost full bag a few feet away.
"This is a nice ship you guys must have worked hard to get these going, can you show me the inside?"
"Well no not really, we're still working on them," the young man responded trying to move away.
Luro didn't let him however and just pat his chest with the notebook as he nodded a little, he had a feeling that might be the case but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
"Ah that's a shame you won't change your mind?"
The young man shook his head but flinched as Luro pulled a pistol from his belt and pointed it at him his attention still focused on the ship.
"How about now?"
The young man's eyes widened before he looked around for anyone that could help or at least see what was going on but Luro had waited until the others had left not wanting to be interrupted.
"Now here's the thing, I am more than willing to kill you, without remorse of course, and dump your body somewhere but that is a great deal of trouble for me and you seem like a nice guy so I don't want to murder you. That and my captain's asked me not to kill unless it's necessary and I'll feel bad when I see her again and it's all just one big mess you understand. If you scream then that gives me one less reason not to pull the trigger, cause you know I'd like this to stay between us, you don't scream I don't shoot you everyone wins right..sooooo-"
Luro cut himself off and readied the gun putting it against the man's cheek before he opened the notebook to the page where he took the notes on the ship from Risa's knowledge.
"Mind helping me find a few things?"
Luro dropped the bag on the ship and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he put his hands on his hips and chuckled at his haul, he ended up taking a few things from the ship but he made sure it wasn't anything that couldn't be replaced, if things went well Risa's shop might get some more business. Still with this much he'd have more than enough to make what he needed and he was already looking forward to it, though thanks to his long trip it took him a bit to get back to the ship.
When he did return Luro immediately went to his barrel and pulled out a bottle of rum before opening it, he looked around wondering if the atmosphere was just a little heavy but he shrugged and took a drink.
He let out a relieved sigh and was going to finish off the rest of it but stopped when Nolan approached him, he blinked a few times as he spoke leaning against the railing of the ship as he commented on the repairs.,
"I haven't fully checked but she seems in good shape I don't really like another guy touching my lass though, she's loyal though so I believe in her. Oh you and Ray are an exception of course, you're taken and I don't think she's Ray's type."
At the mention of not being on the best terms he tilted his head a little his brow arching at him though he knew it was about Lily he remained silent.
When Lily was brought up his smile faded a little and eyes narrowed, he stared at his hand when he extended it before he got off the railing and crossed his arms averting his eyes from Nolan.
"Nolan...did you really think it'd be that simple. You treated me like that without bothering to understand why, I'm offended and I can't believe-"
Luro cut himself off as he put his hand over his mouth.
"I can't...snrk...I can't believe you...gahahahaha I can't do it!"
Luro immediately held his stomach and leaned forward laughing, eventually putting his hand on the side of the ship to keep from fully falling over.
"Of course we're friends Nolan," Luro said straightening up and rubbing tears from his eyes. "Ah sorry sorry when you got all serous I couldn't help myself. Don't worry about it Nolan that sensitive side of you is what I enjoy the most, you feel bad when you kill someone and you can empathize well with others. Even when I did something so bad you still came to me and offered me your hand in friendship, that's a kind of courage I can respect. The kind that helps with understanding others, I tend to just pull the trigger first so I like that about you. You can find the words that I can't, I still don't know what to say to Alicia ya know but I prefer actions anyway so I'll figure it out."
With his peace said Luro knocked Nolan's hand away and gave him a quick hug patting his back before backing away.
"It really is a shame you're not a lass, Lily could learn a lot from you too bad she's probably scared of you now."
Luro pulled out the pocket-watch before holding it up showing where his bullet hit.
"That kindness of yours can make you a bit gullible though," Luro said chuckling. "When we see Lily and Mary again I hope you'll extend your hand to her, that lass needs friends. I suppose I should apologize for not saying something earlier, I just wanted to see what you would do."
Luro put the pocket-watch away before sitting on the edge of the ship putting his legs up as he looked out to the sea.
"Oh and...I appreciate that you were willing to still be my friend. Makes me wanna do more horrible things to test the bonds of our friendship."
Luro grinned after saying this to show he was joking...well half joking at the very least.
"I know it's heavy and stuff but we should still celebrate, I mean we came to a new place and saw amazing things all the stuff with Mr. Judge aside. We don't always have tomorrow after all. Oh did I sound fancy there for a second I'm getting good at this."
