Reflexively grasping the hammock's edge Aril braced for contact with the upper deck and a call to battle stations...that never came.As the attic beams came into focus, the sensation of being aboard the Hoarse Eclipse dispelled, like the last wisp of fog on a bright morning.With a yawn and a wry chuckle, Aril eventually emerges from the hammock, attends to ablutions(1) and Devotions, and then heads downstairs to investigate early breakfast possibilities.'About six bells to peak, give or take?' Aril wonders, while carefully navigating the foyer.Matching the landlady's grin with one as wide as possible, the friendly 'who can pretend to be the cheeriest in the morning' contest begins.In spite of their best efforts so far, neither of them has been able to pull off that fully deranged grin that makes even a hardhead pause."My thanks, as always" Aril says, slipping the unopened envelope into the beltpouch."Did you, perhaps, send someone to Last-Chance-Lerrys?(2) I see you've had a better than average doss-down. Dark for dark?"(3)[SPOILER="Context, feel free to read."](1) The blessings of a pure water source, via Create Water, should not be underestimated. Aril has enough for today in the waterpot, but will need to cast it again tomorrow.(2) The common nick-name for Lerrys' Provender, Provisions & Groceries, which is the last place you want to go when looking for fresh, unspoiled food.[/SPOILER][SPOILER="DM's eyes only."](3) Aril appreciates unopened messages promptly delivered. "Dark for dark" is Aril indicating a willingness to cast Purify Food and Drink on a container of "food", without looking at the contents beforehand...or afterwards. Not that this interaction has ever happened before, or that the right sized container is about...1 cu. ft. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Aril reads the message as soon as it can be done unobserved.[/SPOILER]Edit: added Italics to the ship name.</blockquote>
