Yes, you're back aboard the Bedsheet.  Captain Radoon and the others rescued you at the same time as when they found Master Allois.  You've had a bad time of it, but you seem to have pulled through well enough.  There's none of those foul shadows here, but you just lay back and rest.  I'll get you some good soup to help restore your strength  and let the Captain and Marienna Lockspur know that you're awake."Finn does seem to relax a bit at this, although his eyes continue to scan the room unceasingly and the grip on the belaying pin does not relax.    Mistress Abelard closes the door, and heads toward the galley, calling her son as she goes.  When he meets her at the galley, she tells him to go to the Radiant Sun and let Marienna know that Finn has awakened, and is in an extremely distressed state.  She prepares a bowl of a savory chowder that she had simmering and takes it back to the cannoneer's cabin.</blockquote>
