Back home I strove for happiness. Happiness for myself, and for my nephew. I don't want much, just a simple life. As...for your second question. I would gladly give my life to see the end of the great war my grandfather started.

Why do you ask, Alexei-san? [Not exactly typical small talk, that's for sure.]

It's just something to the pass the time. [Keep his mind off of other things.]

I see. And what are your thoughts on the subject?

[What's with him and Princesses...course, now he's wondering why a Princess is with a bunch of pirates.]
My thoughts on what you've said, or are you asking about my own goals?
