"Would that really help?"
--
"How long?"
--
Angie tugs on a strand of hair. "I should check on Richard."
"How long 'til we reach the pirate isles?"

"Just a couple of days."

"Tomorrow. The day after at the most."

"Well, see what's back there in the cart. You might get lucky."
--
".. You promise?"
--
Nat groans and rests his forehead on the rail.
Angie nods and heads below deck.

"Okaay." He slides into the back of the cart to look around.
---
"Yes."

Darius looks at Nat. "Is this a problem for you?"

It's a grocer's cart! There are lots of interesting things to be found there.
--
".. Okay."
--
He keeps his head on the rail. "Nooo. ... What are the pirate isles like?"

Edan digs around and locates a bag of sugar to munch on.
---
"Take care of that hand." He tries to leave again.
---
"Exactly what you would expect. Disgusting. Unlawful. Teeming with criminals."

She hops forward to give him a big hug from behind.

"Joy."

"I found some sugar."
----
He jumps then awkwardly pats her hands. "Don't.. please don't worry."
---
"It is where we met." He leans against the rail and smiles.

"Will that do?"
--
"You don't be worried. I'm fine." She pushes away from him and hurries out of the room.

Nat lifts his head and adjusts his glasses. "Oh?"

"Maybeee."
---
He stumbles forward then regains his balance and leaves.
---
"Yes. We were both trying to kill the same person." He smiles fondly.

"How romantic."

"I don't know. They might know some nice stories."

Nat is still feeling cranky, but the laugh surprises him. "Who won?"

"Same!"
There is a clatter as Benzel lands in the back of the cart. He crawls towards the front and flops. "Phew."
--
"Is that why you fell for her?"
