Bertrand

Bertrand passes the order for sugar to his man and turns back to the young man extending a hand. "I'm Bertrand."

Taking the cup of coffee the young man nods and says and slowly extends his hand "It is not our custom to shake hands but I am called Morgan de Sion" Does Bertand shake the hand so extended?

Bertrand

Bertrand leaves his hand out, but doesn't shake unless the younger man takes it, "I wouldn't want to offend..."

Bertrand
The young polielty and wiht a wry smile places his hand back down at his side. "Thank you for understanding, such contact is often disturbing to both parties"

Bertrand

"When you led a life like mine it takes a good bit to disturb you." He sips his coffee, "You also learn to appreciate the simple pleasures."

"True, one does not realize how comforting simple things are till they are lost".

OCC: Anyone else ?

Jaroth
As if explaing to a child the young man says, but in a polite way "All endings are death be they the small death, the middle death or the great death and thus fufill the cycle of life" He then steps back away from the rail and says "If you will excuse me, I must take my leave" and walks slowly away[/sblock]

Next time Jaroth meets the boy on deck, he says "The Death of the Sun is a very specific event to many worshippers of the Old Ways. I had assumed until you explained your answer that you knew some of those ways. Pardon my assumption." Jaroth pauses and continues, "You see, the Death of the Sun happens but once a year during the thirteenth month. What you have been witnessing, dear boy, on this deck every evening is a mere sunset from their perspective. What I am curious about is your perspective and its source."

Jaroth awaits a response. If none is forthcoming, he returns to his meditations.

Jaroth
When next Jaroth engages the young man in coversation he replies "The old ways are more concerned with nautre and the elemental forces of which birth and rebirth are but a part, many look at it from an even older viewpoint that everything is tied to the forces of life and the forces of death". Then with a self depreciating smile he says "As you can see i read to much and stumble across many interesting ideas"

Anniston

Speaking to Modjan, "I notice that several of the sailors are worried about pirates. A number of us passengers would be able to assist in repelling boarders. What signals do you use to indicate an attack so we may respond more quickly. Also, please let us know if you have any suggestions if there is anything in particular we should do in the case of an attack."

OOC: Anniston comments to some of the sailors how peculiur the young man is to only come out during dawn and dusk. Casually ask them if they noticed anything unusual when the man came aboard.
