You think about writing something snappy on there for the hell of it. Only problem is that you don't really have anything to write. At best you could scribble on a "Silver was here" in the forbidden writing and maybe draw a weener next to it but that's about it. However you conclude that his is not even worth the effort so you simply leave the slab of stone embedded in the gold alone. Returning to Hagetaka you find her with her composure regained and conversing with the two elders. But when she feels your presence she doesn't waste a second turning back to you.
"Captain. Found anything interesting?"
"Not really. Just some writings by some old guys. How about you?"
"I'm fine. I admit my emotions got the best of me. But now I have them under control. Well. Shall we?"
"Shall we what?"
"Be on our way."
"That's it? I thought you'd want to stay. Or maybe stay just a little bit longer."
"Why would I do that?"
She tilts her head when she looks at you.
"This... was important to me. But that foul mouthed weakling had a point. This is not my place to be. My ancestors did give up their duty to guard this place. I only have a little bit more right to be here than anyone else. But that's it. All I wanted to know is who we are and where we come from. And now I do. I intend to share what I learned with my people back home, to give them clarity. But not today. And not in the near future. I have my oath, my sworn duty to uphold."
She plants the flat end of her spear on the ground and gets on one knee.
"I am Hagetaka, the Fallen Angel of the Silver Pirates. I am your spear. And I will follow you even into the depths of hell if you need me."
She stands up once more. And smiles.
"Please. Lead on captain!"
Her smiles seems so... light. Like the weight of the world just dropped off her shoulders. It does make you glad you came here, even if half the people on the island are buttholes. Only real question now is how much time you're willing to spend here. It'd be pretty bad if you just left out the others so you'll have to bring them here and spend at least a little time here. But do you want to do anything beyond that?
>"Let's get the others here, have some fun and then bail. I didn't wait two years just to play in Paradise again."
>"I feel like this place has some adventure in store for us. Let's tell the others we're dropping anchor here."
>Other?
