[You know what? The shrill little gasp from her elf at the swear word is right. Perona's had it up to here with you, Smoker, and how much of a giant cock you're being for no other reason than because she's a goddamn pirate. She's so sick and tired of that goddamn bias when she's done nothing wrong save for a bit of playful teasing.

Squaring her shoulders, Perona finally takes a stand, closing the distance between herself and Smoker.]

Well, you could certainly make an effort, you pompous marine bastard! I've done nothing to you the entire time I've lived here, yet you treat me poorly! I don't deserve your ire, and especially not on this holiday! So you'd best shut that big mouth of yours before I find a way to do it for you! [Jabbing you hard in the chest.] I may be a pirate, but I'm still a lady, and I expect to be treated like one!

[She jabs his chest with her finger, then makes a motion to turn away and leave - she's so done - but...strangely...can't move. Why...can't she move? Ngeeh--] E-Eeh?! What did you do?! Let me go! If this is your doing, White Hunter, I won't forgive you!
