"Ayalla!!!!"

Salathe gets up and give Ayalla a big hug

"Glad your back and alright"

He sits back down and smiles to Ayalla and says.....

"That lizard took you off the boat, i heard you screaming, i came running and saw him take you underwater. After i put a shruiken in his leg, he kept swimming, so i chased you two. He couldnt swim that fast because of the injury, so caught him and you to the surface. At the time you werent breathing, but by the time i got you back n the boat you coughed all the water up. I brought you here to sickbay and spent the night, i left for a few minutes to speak to moathia, then came back to make sure you didnt die or anything"

[/i]

Oh...what's this?

Ayalla smiles up at her brother.

It's so pretty...thank you bro.

Give him a hug and grins. Ayalla gives Sal a hug too.

That's quite a story...well, no more trying to figh on this ship, I'll stick to my magic...Dumb of me to try and fight off two lizards by myself...thanks for saving me Sal...

"welcome sis, and thanks for taking care of her Salathe, i'll have to let you marry her now. hehe" Athian jokes. " to bad she missed the whale, she'd have liked that."

Athian pushes his sister back down to the bed. and smiles at her.

"i think you still need your rest there sunshine. no getting up. and this cat is going tohave to go if it can't behave."

"the whale isnt that far away, she can still see it if she wants to. Need help getting up Ayalla?"

"just like you to get her moving now of all times. well be careful with her. or it's your arse on the mast hero."

Oh, no thanks Sal! I have had enough adventure for the moment...Awww let her stay bro..I like Tiger....leave her here if she knows what's good for her she'll behave.

Shoots a mock glare at Tiger, but the cat only meows innocently. Ayalla grumbles and settles herelf back under the covers for a nap.

"Alright Ayalla, maybe athian is right about not getting up"

Salathe sits down and glares at the cat

"I still think we shouldve thrown him at the whale"

Athian smiles at her, and nods

" as long as you promise to get your rest sis. cat seems to be on the michivious side to me, kinda reminds me of you know who."

Athian reaches out adn strokes the cats back, it purs for a moment then bites him on the finger. he pulls away and chuckles.

" it even gives mixed signals. hehe."

Carahawen, who had kept watching the whale moving away from the ship until she couldn't see it anymore, hears some noise coming out of the sickbay. She walks in there and sees Ayalla awake and the cat jumping about her in the bed.

"Hey, glad you re back, Ayalla. Maybe I should teach you swimming some time, eh?"

Athian kisses his siser on the fore head then proceeds to shoo everyone out of the room.

" quiet now. we can come back after she rests."

He smiles looking back at the door one final time then he proceeds on his way down the hall

Aristeaus hears the cries of joy comming from the sick bay and can guess whats happned, he smiles to himself and is about to go and greet her but enters the room just as shes on the verge of sleep.

' Well she has the right idea at least. '

Arist smiles broadly.

' G'night all i think ill be hitting the bunk. '

Arist turns to Cara and kisses her softly.

' I'll be seeing you later '

Arist taps Cara's nose and walks out of the room and to where hes bed awaits

Carahawen walks out of the sick bays with the others, yawning.

"Yes, he is hitting the point. I am trying to get some sleep now, too. Maybe I can sleep now finally. Wake me up when anything is happening."

She gives Sal a hug and then follows Arist down to her cabin, gets into her bed and falls asleep at once.

Konstantin examines Zarah, finding no wounds. He gently kisses her.

-Please, be cautious and take care of yourself. I hope we reach the port soon. There is something about this voyage I do not like... Moathia is up to something... who knows what other things she got up her sleeve. She said the whole trip is planned out... I wonder if this was planned as well...

He adjusts Zarah's chain shirt for her, and sits on his bed.

-I'll be at the galley, Z. Come and get some food.

Konstantin pets Zarah's head, smiles to her, and walks out of the cabin.
He cannot sleep, he doesn't feel tired, he can't find rest for himself.
He walks up the stairs a few levels up, and past the sickbay. He goes up some more, reaches the deck.
He sees Salathe, standing alone at the edge of the boat above the sickbay.

He silently comes towards him behind his back.

-Well, Salathe, what do you think about all this? I 've said they are pirates all along. I was right, wasn't I. What's next, do you think? - he asks calmly.

Goes back to his cabin to sharpen all of his weaponry, remove the dents and polish his armors, and to feed his crow.
afterwards he goes down to the storage level again,,, find a comfotable place on some backs of seeds, and sleeps in, what he thinks, in the greatest sent of all, the sent of food...
He begins to snore and drifts off into dream land

((im sleeping...again-but there are echoes, and loud snoring makes loud echos, adn it might sound idifferetn in a different part of the ship-anyone wanna take this RP oppertunity?))

Zarah who fell asleep for a while, still feeling Konstantins' pet on her face like a litte tingle, gets up in the middle of the night and takes a look at the night that layed over the ship with its stars at the dark canopy of heaven, following them everywhere.
She faces the rail and looks at the waves the ship produces in its fast movement. Suddenly she hears strange voices from far away of the ocean. It sounds like a song, but she hears normal spoken words aswell. Smiling she replies them in the elven language.

A bit later she takes some quiet steps towards Konstantins personal cabin. She looks through a small hole in the wood and sees something glowing in the dark.

"It's glowing again?" she wonders.

She leans against the wall behind her and remembers his words about Moathia again. "Why can't he trust anyone?" She faces the rail again and looks thoughtfully at the ocean.

Carahawen wakes up after sleeping just some hours, but she feels refreshed. She notices she has slept in her robe and tries to get the creases out of it. Deciding to hold her face in the sea wind she gets on deck. There is Zarah standing at the rail obviously deep in thoughts. Cara quietly steps next to her and looks out onto the ocean, taking a deep breath of the sea air.
"How do you like sailing, Zarah?"
she asks in a gentle silent voice, only Zarah being able to hear her.

Zarah is still looking at the ocean.

"I knew you would come." She smiles.

Now she turns and looks at her friend. "Well, it feels strange in some way. Moving over water...like a miracle. But the ship seems very solid. I even somehow feel safe on it...but maybe that's because of someone else..."

A curl of her hair covers her face and with that her left eye by a passing breeze of wind. She looks to the ground and smiles a bit.

"What experiences did you make on sea? Do you still like sailing like once?"

Carahawen smiles at her friend.

"Well...once you love sailing you'll always love it,.. once the sea got you, it never lets go of you any more...."

She looks down at the small tides beating against the ship. There's a light glitter in her eyes.

"Experiences, ...I made bad as well as good ones..."

Her eyes turn to the horizon.

"I found friends... I lost them...I saw a lot of ports and towns, many lands, creatures, sailed through thunderstorms, fought pirates and other rouges....so much to tell..."

She turns to Zarah and grins slightly.

"and, of course, I learnt swimming very well..."

Salathe turns to Konstantin

"Whats next? Who knows..."

He looks back towards the sea

"On this sort of journey, you never know"

Do you think Moathia is not telling us something else? - Konstantin spits into the water.

"Probably, but like i said... who knows"

Brendan rises from his bed early in the morn. He dresses quickly, eats quickly and performs his usual kitchenry duties.He goes up on deck and stands at the opposite side of the ship from Salathe and Konstantin. He badly wants to talk to the other Evergreeners...he wants to sleep in his own bed in Greenbriar. He sighs and decides to interrupt Sevious in his usual corner. Brendan rouses him, and taps his shoulder...

"So...how are you, my chum?"

((sorry, wrong char))

"Yes, I can't even remember a time I didn't swim. I love water and that's why I don't feel uncomfortable on this ship. I'm sure Zelphia is with us on this journey. I didn't see her so far, but actually she never shows herself over water. But her spirit is with us."

Zarah leans over the rail, folding her arms on it.

"It's a really nice night tonight. Like anything possible could happen..."

Moathia sits in the mess hall, with a glass of elven wine, thinking quietly to herself, about future plans, then she walks up to the captains personal qauters with some maps, and starts a whispered conversation with him.
