[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 6997747, member: 2820"] Thorir gives out orders to the men. The sails, the bilge, the weapons. All must be in readiness. As the men scatter to their tasks, Thorir watches them with an for detail. After a moment, Thorir turns to Eben, and leaning over the railing waits for Eben to join him. The brother stand together, facing the sea was as close to privacy as they could get on the ship. [COLOR="#FF0000"]"We will see about Einar. He may not truly care.
