If I had the chance I would bring them to the table, apply pressure until they came to an agreement. Yet in my experience pirates rarely wish to talk. They wish to attack, steal, and then run. A conversation leaves them too long in one place, and staying too long in one place would make them vulnerable -- since a pirate is usually on the run from the last person they have met, or from law enforcement. So, to exploit it..." Daylen darts his eyes back out at the hallway, making sure he's still walking in the right direction and that the path before them is still safe. "You would need to surprise them. If they expect only civilians, and not enough skill to stop them, they need to learn it is not so."
