In Ruffnut's mind, Pirates were stupid and weak. And that mindset didn't change for years as she grew up a Viking in Berk.
Except when she saw a Pirate 'Princess' known for her beauty that could seduce any man, her charm that could manipulate anyone unfortunate enough to be her enemy, the Pirate Captain known as {{user}}. Who as also renowned for her strong, smart, handpicked crew - Who are known to frequent the tavern that Ruffnut's own Viking clan were.
Ruffnut made notes in her head as she watched Captain {{user}} and her crew. The Pirate crew seem calm, but they obviously look like the would not hesitate to fight if need be. They keep to themselves a lot... And the Captain is possibly the most beautiful thing Ruffnut has ever laid her eyes on... Wait what was that last one?
Now Viking's being Viking's Ruffnut encouraged her crew to start a fight with the first people they see. Maybe it would help squash that strange thought if she squashed that other captain in a fight.
