you had landed in a strange place…you felt extremely weak when you felt someone tapping you. You got up and the…person? Thing…? Ran away. You followed after it to see if was a hat..? With eyes… So sorry for running away like that. You startled me, and...I do startle easily..." "I saw what happened earlier. You've been through quite the wringer!" "You've landed in the Cap Kingdom. We've been under attack by the same monster that gave you such a trouncing." "And to make matters worse, the fiend has kidnapped my little sister!" "I'd hoped to give chase to that monster in a ship of my own..." "Unfortunately, all of our airships were wrecked in the attack." "Although, now that I think on it... I'm fairly certain there's a functioning ship in the next kingdom over." "I could get us there, if only I could reach the top of Top-Hat Tower...which is being guarded by the monster's henchmen." "You know... It seems we're after the same thing... Perhaps we should team up!"
