says to ALL: It had taken a bit to get everything and everyone
aboard, but now that we were all together, the ship had set sail
with the morning tide. Once again I was at the helm of the ship,
with merry shouts and song being lifted by the exuberant crew.
We were headed Home, and though the journey would take a while,
it would be worth it to be back on the Isle.
We had several new acquisitions on board as well. A new Citizen
and His slave, my new Apprentice and my newest slave. I wondered
how the trip would treat them, though I was certain they'd
adapt. It was, after all, part of their new life. "Steady as she
goes, Mister Pike. We won't make it there any faster, and
honestly, we shouldn't try."

Is sailing the green waters of the Thassa
says to ALL: Sea legs were really a thing, interestingly the
small Karian whore had always assumed it was just something
talked about to keep others off ships and on dry land. Nope, she
was a basic weeble wobble at the moment. It had been quite some
time since she had traveled the Thassa either too or from the
dark jewel of the waters. This time though she turned narrowed
eyes to the Tarnsman, hearing his grumbling, she almost laughed,
the man far better suited for life on the big beast of a bird
that would be shipped at some point to the Island she had no
doubt. Where one grumpy bastard went, the other seemed to
follow. She knew his goals now, they had spoken of them in the
dark of night when too tired to do more than murmur, and too
awake to find actual sleep she had found his desire to be that
of retirement from the handling of the deadly air terrors and to
settle into a Tavern. That had surprised her, but no doubt the
Man would do as he wished, and if an Island village was where he
sought to settle, then she would settle there...behind him and
slightly to the left as was her place.

Is sailing the green waters of the Thassa
says to - cookies and buttstuff: I turned my head to catch sight
of your own set of crimson locks and grinned at you. "How's the
sea finding you, Tre? Have you toured the ship and found
everything?" Granted, the Persephone's Fate wasn't exactly a
cruise ship or anything fancy, but the cabins weren't bad and
would do for the week or so of travel time it took to get from
the Market to the Island. Acteaon had already found ways to make
himself useful, and my Apprentice would be working hard above
deck to learn how the ship itself worked. You didn't look too
terribly green in the face to me, which was a good thing. I
hoped you became accustomed to your sea legs quickly. It could
be hell if not.

Is sailing the green waters of the Thassa
says to .:|Valkyrie of the Seas|: Her copper towed head bobbed
as she offered a grin in return, she had already settled the
grumping Master in his cabin, and had made note of where things
were should he wish her to fetch something, which so often was
the case, the pale green of her eyes roamed out over the waters
of the Thassa, it had been home for so long that a joy lifted
inside her, calming any moments of doubt that this had not been
the intended fate for her path. "Things are well, Mistress. A
few ahn and I'll be ready to dance the decks. Aye still having
my look about, but got Master settled, and will speak with
Acteaon if I can't find anything." She had met the slave
earlier, briefly yesterday in the Market and they had introduced
themselves.

Is sailing the green waters of the Thassa
says to - cookies and buttstuff: I nodded, knowing that you'd
have no issues finding things and getting comfortable. But I'd
had to check anyway. I didn't like puke decorating my ship's
deck. "Ever stood on the prow? Nice sea breeze there." It was
one of my favorite places to hang out. It was a happy place for
me where I could simply let the stresses of the day go and not
think of anything. Kinda like a zen sort of spot for me.
"I have heard that your Master intends to run the Tavern on the
Isle. Good, and since it's close to the Inn, you two shouldn't
have any trouble with a place to lay your heads. I suggest,
though, that maybe He build your home behind the Tavern or
perhaps just across the way in the open field there."

-=Thassa=-
Is sailing the green waters of the Thassa
says to - cookies and buttstuff: I laughed a bit at that, then
nodded. "Wait until you see my place. I built it years ago. It's
a treehouse. Gives me a good vantage point from which I can see
incoming or outgoing ships and most of the Island itself." I
paused and shared a grin with you. There were long stories upon
long stories about the Isle, many of which only the Pirates of
the Council or other Free Traders who had approval to know the
location of the Isle would know. I was sure you and your Master
would create even more stories to be told around the fires at
night, when the Isle was much cooler than during the day, just
as with any other tropical forest area. "There's plenty to be
done on the Isle as well. We have things to build and to
maintain, and we only recently finished the bath house. You can
have hot water if you want, but I prefer the cooler water from
the well in the village. There are also a couple of freshwater
streams and a waterfall which is nice for bathing and
relaxation. Like to fish?"

Is sailing the green waters of the Thassa
says to .:|Valkyrie of the Seas|: She went wide eyed at the talk
of fishing, her stone bowl of minions, her worms had been left
behind but no doubt more could be dug. A cooler bath sounded
better in the heat than hot water but she flashed a grin. "I
love to fish, can't catch anything but a cold after I fall in,
but I like to try!" (gotta run for a bit, sorry)
