Just fresh out of the claws of Sanguis Haima, confident in his strength among non-seekers and a bit sure of his future as a seeker, Kruxe had been burning for action, looking to fight and grow stronger, and when the opportunity came, though he was a bit hesitant, he relished in slicing through his enemies and eventually wiping out an entire vessel clear of humans sole himself.
Back then it was only after spending some minutes walking around and discovering that he could not control the ship and was also lost that Kruxe realized how stupid he had been.
Unfortunately, while Kruxe could make that mistake, a very experienced and far stronger person like Katrina was not going to.
To Katrina, her plan had been simple, rather than try attacking the pirates and then trying to subjugate them, why not let them capture you and take care of you, and then when they are finally close to land, you kill them.
