It is painted a sea blue that blends into a silver towards the bottom of the hull. The mast flies a flag bearing the emblem of Count Varis, a rampant red fox. Themes is not disappointed, finding two cannons aboard the Dolphin, towards each side of the bow. They are mounted in a way that allows them to be swivelled with some effort. As he inspects them a 'toc toc toc' alerts him to the approach of someone behind him. As he turns around he is met in a hearty embrace by a bushy faced individual whose smile lacks both front teeth. "You must be the Lah'nun! Welcome aboard the Dolphin! I can see the twinkle in your eye ... you've already fallen in love haven't you, scallywag!" He roars into laughter, pulls out a bottle and pulls the cork with his teeth. After a few hearty swigs he offers it to Themes. "Ah, your presence is a blessing, Lah'nun. Probably a wee bit unnecessary for a quick ride to Elestial, what! But I'll not complain! I'll have something to tell me grandkids when I see them next!"He slaps his wooden leg. "They call me Peg! You can call me what you like! What do you be calling yourself, Lah'nun?"He curls a brotherly arm around Themes shoulders as if they were best of friends since always and offers to give him a proper look around the Dolphin, introducing him to the crew with pride as he takes him several times around the ship. By the time he is taking him the third time around, the bottle of rum is empty.Lady Mary watches from the pier, arms folded, a look of bemusement on her face.</blockquote>
