Nissa gets off the boat first, thankful to be on a solid surface that doesn't move constantly, but waits for the others to take the lead on what to do next.
"Get her unloaded," the captain says. "Then get the hell off my boat. She's not going anywhere until the damage is repaired, and who knows how long that'll take. Sign on with another merchant if you have to, or get comfortable here, makes no difference to me. He stops at Justice before stepping off.
"I get that you're a good man. Probably an honest one at that, but..." he pauses, and thinks about his next words. "I'm off to deliver the news to Jon's bride. That she's lost her husband and her new son's father. I trust you won't be here when I return." He doesn't wait for a response, but turns and climbs down onto the crowded docks of Silverport and disappears.
Justice frowns and looks down at his feet in guilt as the Captain addresses him. He squeezes his holy symbol so tight that his knuckles turn as white as a seagull. He wanted to promise to earn money to donate to Jon's family, but he didn't know who or where they were. He wanted to say many things. In the end, he absorbed the Captain's words in silence and vowed silently to add Jon's name to his daily prayers for those who have died and require vengeance to be meted out on the evil-doers of the world."Get her unloaded," the captain says. "Then get the hell off my boat. She's not going anywhere until the damage is repaired, and who knows how long that'll take.
