I'm going to assume he keeps his component pouch, as well, since he's preparing spells. * We have 3 people asking for first or last watch (such is the nature of an arcane-heavy party, I suppose. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). Sounds like the shifts are in thirds rather than quarters, then? I'd assume that'd be Elenka and Drev for one, Yosh on his own, and Quioan and Anna on another. Renlow and Nevil are available, as well (it is their ship, after all), though you don't know how skilled they may or may not be. Nevil, after all, did run screaming from a fish. <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=";)" />[/sblock][gm]I'm going to take a slight liberty with time here, and put Anna's question earlier for reasons which I think will be obvious. Hope no one minds.[/gm]The eel, though a bit stringy, is surprisingly flavorful after Captain Renlow has finished cooking it. Nevil sets anchor against the shore and everyone moves below for their meal. The cabin is quite warm from the stove, though not too uncomfortably so. The mixture of spices and natural oils in the cooked eel make for a thick aroma. The captain has offered a modest ale for those who wish to have it with their meal; other than that, it's only water to drink for the evening. There is no proper table at which one can eat in the cabin. The captain sits on the trunk at the end of his cot, using it to set his plate and mug of ale upon when he's not actively eating or drinking. Nevil seems to prefer the floor to his cot, and his hands to any utensils; there are soon sticky streaks running along the half-elf's forearms from where the sauce the captain prepared has dripped, though he licks those off whenever he pauses long enough to notice. Renlow simply shakes his head at the sight. At Anna's question, Renlow gulps back a bite of food, then answers, "Wish I could say it's a quick trip, but like to be close to a month, even pushing it best I can, I'm afraid. We'll have to make a few stops along the way to re-supply, but Parsons made it clear you need to get there soon as I can manage it, so won't be any shore leave longer than a re-supply takes."As Yoshiki initiates a conversation in Sylvan, the dwarf's brow furrows a bit. He glances around the room as he finishes off his plate. He slugs back the last of his ale and stands. "I'll just leave you folk to your discussing," he says. "Nevil can take your plates when you're done. I'm going to see about making sure everything's battened down for the night."With that, the captain takes his leave. After licking his plate clean, Nevil begins offering to take the plate and mug of anyone else who is finished. He'll unashamedly lick those clean as well and stack them near his bed; it's unclear if that's his idea of 'washing dishes' or not.[gm]GlassEye, don't let me forget Elenka's asking about Renlow and Nevil during the upcoming 'travel montage.' I didn't want to put it here to avoid getting time too mucked up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> [/gm]</blockquote>
