Tell These Men

A small boat was approaching. Inside, he could see men whose appearances didn't inspire much hope.

"Hey, I'm over here!"

"We see you," said the man looking at him through binoculars.

"Who's that?" asked one of the men.

"A woman," said the man with the binoculars.

Ru responded sharply, "Hey, I can hear you. I'm a man, and speak to me properly."

"Why should we speak to you properly? We're the ones coming to rescue you," said the man who stood up in the boat. Unlike the others, he wore a hat and was burly.

"Are you the captain?" Ru asked impatiently.

"First mate," the man replied. "I hope you've got something good to offer us so all this trouble is worth it."

"I create magical melodies; I'm a musician."

After exchanging ideas among themselves, the men turned their attention back to Ru.

"Just a musician?"
