A large, armed windjammer named the "Tethys" enters the dockside. The ship flies the symbol of Valkur alongside a flag declaring it to be a vessel of the Black Star Trading Company. The Captain, a tall silver-haired man in blue with a navy hat and teal feather, leaves his ship to head into the city for a while. The crew are seen taking on supplies in the meantime. They remain in dock, the crew seem a good-hearted if rowdy bunch and social with other sailors.

Davina stands back in the shadows of the buildings around her, watching as the ship enters dockside. Her eyes scanning the Tethys, until they come to rest on the Captian. Her eyes blinded with tears she knows the silver hair. The blue navy hat with the teal feather. They young woman slips through the shadows following him. Her mind screaming friend, her lips whisper her echo'd thoughts. "Friend"

The Captain stops to joke with a friend about the quality of the grog in the Obscene Ogre...he visits the rest of the city for a couple of hours, placing orders for supplies and stopping to visit shrines, before he heads back into the docks with a large bag full of oranges from the market, books from the seller in the core of the city and he stops at costeryards and the offices of the dock master to receive messages.
Exiting one of the offices, he reads a communication with interest and nods to himself, he is heard to mutter "About time too" as he looks back at his ship, he walks jauntily towards his floating home.

Staying close to the shadows, Davina watches him walk towards the ship. Another name crosses her mind fleatingly.
"Kross"
She turns to walk away. Stopping she looks back towards the ship.
"Is that where I was supose to go?"
Shaking her head. She can't hold the roars in any longer.
"Salina, Arician."

Turning the sailor looks around, his white hair whipping across his face in the wind as he fixes his gaze in the direction of the roars. The tall captain lifts a hand as a worried-looking sailor looks out over the bow. "What is it, sir?"
"Stay there, I got this" He strides towards the roaring girl. "....Davina?" His eyebrows shoot up. "What is it? Something happened to Arician?"

Her roars calm finally falling silent. Davina shakes her head. Her eyes wild.
"Arician...... sleeping. Salina...... sleeping."
Davina's eyes scan the docks, never resting on one spot.
"Kross..." Her eyes huge she takes a deap breath roaring "Ronso"
Davina bolts past Neckan running down the streets of the city.

Shouting to his men to obey their first mate until he returns. the captain pursues her as fast as he can, fearful she may hurt herself....

Some time later the captain returns, still holding his bag of oranges, looking perplexed.
"You alright sir?" His first mate asks as they meet quayside.
"Aye, though I'll never understand the fairer sex, Master Inigo. Glad I don't have a lass on land." The skipper plants himself on the edge of the dock, dangling his legs over the side and plucks out an orange, peeling it he looks up at his mate and yanks his broad blue hat down firmly as he bites into the fruit. "Some of them got cabin fever without the cabin, I swear...."

Davina walks up to the captian.
"I'm sorry. I hope I didnt worry you much. Might if I sit here too?"

"Aye, you know you can, pal" The captain nods and offers her an orange. "Everything alright with you now?"

Takes the orange smiling.
"I think so." She nods. "We had a lot to talk over. Mistakes were made, mostly on my end. The awakening has been rather difficult on me as well. Sometimes I loose myself to it, but lucky for Blue it never last long."

The captain chuckles as he peels his orange. "He's a patient fellow. Guessin' that's the wizard in him....don't be hard on yourself though."
He sits in companionable, affable silence, sucking on his orange.

"He is a very patient man. He has to be to put with me like he does."
Laughs as she takes a bite of her orange.
"You know this is the only fruit I like. Thank you."
Davina takes out her harp and begins to play.

*Aye, I thought you might, you being from the desert and all..." The captain sits and listens to her play, his crew seems happy to listen to her as well. He looks out over the water content and smiling.

The Tethys has rolled back into port after a considerable absence, for repairs. The Captain watches his crew go ashore, the usual rude banter flies back and forth as one by one they disappear into the city to enjoy themselves.
The Captain straightens his hat and grabs his bags, nodding to the watch as he bounds down the gangway "I'll return at sundown, tell the quartermaster to be ready to pick up my order..we're not running out of grog again".
