"Yeah..." Ignis brings her hand up and barely brushes the back of the knuckles with his lips. He then pulls up and laughs, shaking his head. "More or less, anyways."

Mauri smiles. "Heh. You're very different from anyone I know. You're different from Gilbert, that's for sure."

"Well, from my point of view, different is really really good." Ignis said with a happy grin. He smiled a lot. "Better than being the same as everyone else! Man, that would be boring."

She laughs and nods. "Yes, that's true. What is it like to be a sailor?"She glances at the little painting.

"Like freedom." His answer was immediate, without even a hint of hesitation.

Mauri smiles a little. There is more than some sadness behind that smile.
"Ah."
She pulls up her legs and holds them to her body. Ignis can see that under the long patchwork dress, she is not now wearing any shoes.
"Do you meet many people? Do you get to see places?"

"Oh I meet tonnes of people, and go to all kinds of places. It's why I love the profession! I mean, how can you not like stepping from the rocking ship to the rocky mountains? You can go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone on the open sea. It's amazing!" Ignis hopped up until he was standing on the seat of the chair, smiling and puffing up a bit as he put one hand over his eyes, as if shielding them from the sun. "Ye always got a new horizon to look over, a new place to see. I've been all over this globe once, but there's always a place I missed when I look through that second and third time. Always got new people to meet. Some people are just strange, too, while some are really normal. You get used to it all, but it's always exciting. Then there's the places under the waves."

Mauri looks really excited, alright. She is beaming brightly, and her eyes are happily sparkling with curiosity.
"Tell me? Please? Tell me about your adventures and the people you met and the place beneath the waves?"

Ignis laughs. "Wow, you really bounce to your feet pretty well, huh? Strong girl, if you ask me. Well, there are plenty of places under the waves, so that's kind of a blanket question."
He leans back in his chair and thinks for awhile, wondering what to say. Then he launches into the story. "Yeah, there was a ton of things to keep you occupied on the seas: You got storms, you got bad hygiene living next store to grumpy and awefully lonely. You got the sunrises and sunsets, the beautiful shores and the people you'd never meet. It's great. You can say hi to the most random folks. Just the other day, I think I was talking to some kind of angel thingy. What're they called again?"

Mauri blushes a little at the compliment, and listens in complete fascination.
"Angel?" She is wide-eyed, awed, confused and excited all at once.

"Yeah, one of those guys with wings like a dove? Well, this was a lady, but same idea really. Huge wings! Those things spread all throughout, sheesh! It's kind of funny how many odd fellows you meet out here. I heard from some people that some places aren't like this, that in some places you just can't see people with wings or creatures from the Deeps like you do here. I can't imagine a world without it." Ignis grins and taps a quick tune on the tabletop with his hands. "So she was some angel thingy, and she could fly and everything."

Mauri smiles and rests her face in her hands with a dreamy look in her eyes. "You must have such a lovely life. Have you ever been to Merian Antha?"

"Life is about as lovely as you make it." Ignis said with a shrug. "Yeah, actually! I've been just about everywhere, anywhere. You name it, I've probably either been to it or pretty damn close."

Her eyes light up even more. As if that were possible.
"You've been there? What's it like? Is it really that pretty?"

"Yep, all that and more. The place is just gorgeous, but the people can sometimes be a little annoying. Ok, they can be very annoying." Ignis grinned to himself. "Especially when you're some free spirited sailor. Lots of little plots and games over there, but if you're going just to see what it's like, you'll be fine."
