Slick’s hand almost found Aurora’s as she made her suggestion to leave before he felt the sudden shifting beneath him. His eyes caught sight of Caelan, questioning what was going on. Is it always somethin’ with this kid? Slick was not going to be an advocate for Caelan drinking in the future. It just spelled trouble. Then there was Sophie who he saw as just a mess, curling into herself due to seeing what occurred during the broadcast. Slick sighed. He was familiar with the reaction. Life’s spoiled her eyes… and now she’s seen its ugly face. No powder, make-up, or charm. Nothin.’

As the water drained from the pool, Slick finally took Aurora’s hand so he could assist in getting out. Several people in the pool were confused as to what caused such a sudden leak but the broadcast took the forefront of their attention.

“Cale, you best get Soph up so we can get movin.’ The girl’s sensitive to what we just saw but like our friends here suggested, we can’t stay here.” Leaf and Aurora hadn’t agreed on a location, but the mention of the blacksmith gave him an idea.

“Why wait to go to the blacksmith? We’re gonna need the extra protection and I think I can get us a discount or two seeing as I’m familiar with the owner and all.”

Things had certainly gone fairly smoothly until this point. Even a slip up and no questions. Yet. Just had to stay consistent for a little while longer. They knew she wou- hey hey hey, keep it up. Pride just killed the mood, it would be very bad to slip up again, especially now. Why couldn't we have met androgynous? Just wait until we're done at the general's.

Speaking of the general; it was like hearing dear brother's voice again. That was no good. "If you really must know what little their is to tell of me, fine."

"Orphan. Went out and tried isolation for a while, didn't like it. Came back, and found myself a little pub to get comfy in; work for my needs met in a peaceful place. Things were fine until just the other day, too. Were you expecting something more impressive? In return, I'd like you to work on that awful impression of unity. Perhaps you're just under stress, but people scarcely want to cooperate with someone so Proud. More so now than ever. It'll remind them of something." By this time, they expected to have the general's eyes. They would maintain eye contact for as long as he would, staring deeply. "I only want our success."

Arn had still been massaging the lovely winter lady when she began to stir. One of his big calloused hands went to her forehead. The back of his hand pressed against the soft skin. At first he was concerned because she was cool almost cold to the touch. Then he remembered that for one of her species, that was probably normal. A thankful sigh escaped his lips as he brushed back Rue’s hair the more she came around. Finding a dish cloth from the counter, he had begun to dab at the fairy’s forehead and face.

“It appears you fainted due to heat stroke, Rue. Please drink this.” The dwarf said in a calm bedside manner and handed her a drink. “Please drink it slowly, I am not sure how much liquids you lost but we don’t want to overburden your stomach.” He gave her a smile, glad she was ok.

His arm crossed his line of sight and he managed to see his hairy appendage. A sudden realization dawned on him…he had no shirt on. What would Rue think waking up and seeing him leaning over her with no shirt on? A red flush painted his face and he stood up not knowing what to do. Thankfully, the sudden appearance of the wolf, Moony, monopolized the winter fairy lass attention. He moved away as Bowyn approached.

“Good work. Thank you.”

The sheer effort in that statement would have allowed Bowyn to move mountains or shift the very core of Avalia. The compliment had painted an expression on the winter lad’s face that was akin to extreme pain. Arns brown eyes held widened at the world shattering realization that Bowyn had actually paid him a compliment. The dwarf blinked a few times before returning the nod of understanding. It would not do to push his luck in building upon that statement to pursue a deeper bond with the lad.

Instead he instead quickly told the fairy. “Keep her calm, her heart rate is still elevated.” He walked off to find an orange, or pickle or something salty to replenish the sodium the winter lady probably had lost. He also tried looking around for something that could pass for a covering but short of wrapping the table cloths around him like some sort of checkered and colorful cloak, there was nothing he could do.

Resigned to his unceremonious appearance, he came back with a pretzel lightly dusted with salt. He noticed that Bowyn had gotten another drink for Rue. He silently commended the lad for his concern but as a medic he had to voice his warning as he offered her the pretzel. “Miss Rue, please don’t drink that cold water too fast. It would not do to change your temperature dramatically.” Then remembering these were fairies who probably did not have the same biological processes as warmer blooded beings added. “That is…unless cold is actually beneficial to you.”

The young soldier noticed the winds starting to die down and walked over to the windows. There was no danger of flying debris anymore but the sand that had been picked up still lingered in the air. It appeared that the red headed lass was holding the white haired one. Turning to Bowyn and Rue he said in the most innocent and confused voice they had probably heard. “I feel I missed something important.”

Uzul felt reassured as everyone had managed to at least walk on the dunes. Being able to walk was the least they would have to accomplish if they wished to make it to Dugmaghord. Time will tell how long they can endure the heat before they begin to complain. The heat doesn't bother Uzul anymore like it used to. Maybe he has just gotten older or maybe it was one of the other benefits of the hammer tail.

Uzul was paying attention to the group dynamics as the desert could stress your bonds as much as your body. The sand. He tried not to listen in on more pleasant conversations. He still felt a bit awkward listening in on the princess in the bathhouse. But he was keener on the friction between Jomari, Rosaria, and Nuallán. It caused some pause in Uzul. Uzul tends to believe that speaking more openly about things is better as it can quickly clear up misunderstandings but it seems that there might just be an issue with the 2 parties' personalities and how they interact with each other. Those are things that take a while to iron out on any team. Back in Dugmaghord, they could simply settle it through a bout. It was a terrible system but mostly effective for orcs though Uzul doubts it will have the same effect for them. Well for Jomari at least. Nuallán on the other hand seems like he would love to just beat Jomari up and move on. Jomari seems like he will remember it and get back at Nuallán, something Uzul is very familiar with.

Uzul noticed Jomari heading towards the front and tilted his head to greet him with an acknowledging smile. Jomari's question was worrying for Uzul as it has only been a few hours. But what could he expect, they headed off at the worst time to do so. So Uzul pondered for a second looking around and turned to Jomari, "I would say maybe 2-3 days depending on our pace. It is one of my favorite spots. Plenty of shade and a small cave that is usually very cool. I remember visiting there 5 years ago with some other people I guided. They couldn't believe how close it was to the city. A little gem outside the city. I'm sure you will be able to go for a little swim there." Uzul could go on and on about the spot having been there so many times but stopped himself as it might ruin the true spectacle of it.

As the sun drifted closer to the horizon, Uzul started to guide the group closer to a rocky outcrop. Sleeping on the sands risked being buried alive if a sandstorm kicked up during the night. The rocky outcrop will serve as a barrier against the nighttime winds. Uzul wasn't terribly concerned about the danger this far away from the city, they were less than a day away from Myriamor after all. He still would like to set up a watch system during their rest to start prepping them for the rest of the journey. Princess Rosaria and princess Mikazuki wished to be on the first watch as they had to catch up on some things. Uzul was unsure but decided not to show it. It was best for them to see that He trusts them after all. Uzul was working off the framework that his advice may be trusted by the group but he was not.

They packed 3 tents to save room meaning people were going to have to bunk up. Rosaria and Mika were obviously going to be together as they were planning on talking and being on the first watch so it was fine. Uzul assumed that Nuallán and Kuroi would prefer to stay close to their respective princesses leaving Jomari and Uzul. Luckily for Jomari, Uzul rarely sleeps in a tent preferring just his cloak. However with the 2 princesses wanting to chat he would feel like an eyesore so he got in the tent. Uzul looked awkward as he got into the tent. He knew he was big and that he takes up a lot of room. He couldn't help but feel bad for Jomari who seems to believe his life has less value than the others here. Now he has to share a tent with an orc. Uzul turned to Jomari, "Sorry if it is cramped. Normally I would stay outside but I don't want to interrupt their conversation. I hope you understand." Uzul would keep to himself for the rest of the night. He still felt unsure having the both of them on the first watch but it should be fine he hopes

Later that night Uzul awoke to a scream. Uzul was wide awake and would have bounded to his feet if he had not been confined to the tent and potentially hurting Jomari in the process. Uzul squirmed out of the tent to see the bow laying there and footprints heading in opposite directions. Nuallán was already trying to come up with some sort of plan. Uzul listened to him but didn't give him too much mind. He was more interested in the footprints. The size and depth could tell us a lot about what took them. If it was orc then Uzul knew what the general strategy of them would be when it comes to kidnapping. If it wasn't then he had other ideas on how to best get a lead on the situation. The footprints seem to be mixed indicating a bandit group. Not killing the sleeping party means that they are most likely planning to sell them. Uzul believed that no matter what tracks they follow they will end up finding them.

Uzul listened to Nuallán's basic way of communicating and tried to speak up before he dashed off but it was too late. Uzul looked at Kuroi and Jomari, "The communication system is only helpful if you know where other people are going to be. The desert changes in level and if someone is on the low side of a dune they can't see it." The first thing to do is to figure out the general direction the bandits are heading. They wouldn't separate so long with their goods on the line. Uzul started to go to the rock outcrop to climb it to get a better sense of how they are turning their course. It was hard to get a direction even from this height. Uzul looked at Kuroi, "Do you mind helping me Kuroi?" Uzul asks him offering a hand. "I think if I throw you high in the air, we should get an idea of where they are heading before we head out." Uzul hoped Kuroi will trust him on this. It takes little time and could give them valuable information.

Yuka hugged Xavier’s side in response to his embrace. Humans were so cuddly! She nuzzled his chest with contentment, her ears laid back. He would hear the dim sound of her soft purring. She was going to have to keep him close to protect him from the big ol’ demon lords. If demons were truly getting involved, this whole war was going to be quite the mess. As enjoyably chaotic as that might be, Yuka was well aware of the downsides to such a thing. She made a mental note to make sure her goals were achieved as early on as possible.

Though Yuka was happy to cuddle her new pet, she was getting bored of the inaction. To make matters worse, the conversation had not revolved around her for a really long time. She took Xavier’s hand and examined it with interest as everyone spoke. His nails are so short but his hand is so big! Yuka placed her palm to his, comparing the sizes with furrowed brows. It would have seemed to everyone else that Yuka was not paying much attention, but she was quite the multitasker, hanging on every word spoken. The topics at hand, however, were so far pointless in Yuka’s opinion. The problem at hand was an elephant in the room that everyone was averting their eyes from!

Nonetheless, a smirk pulled at her lips as she heard Aiko get addressed. Ohoho. Auntie talks to me like this all the time! They're in trouble!

Soon her attention was briefly pulled towards the holograms. Baby bird boys! She considered for a moment if they would be a tasty lunch, before shaking away the idea as they would be guiding them on a shopping trip. As much as she wanted to shop, she felt like this plan needed a little something else to it.

Finally, Yuka waved her arm in the air as if she were in a classroom raising her hand. ”Yooo!”She greeted as she let go of Xavier and moved forward. Once in the center of the room, she declared, ” Now I love fairies. I really do. Those oversized flies know how to party.”She giggled at her own words then adjusted her position to address everyone in the room. ” So believe me when I say I looove your plan! But…We’re going to need more than that to stand up to that Pride thing, especially if he’s brought his scary friends. Fairies, elves, demihumans, even humans... I don’t think they compare to beings that we have little knowledge of.” Yuka mused thoughtfully, ” In fact, I think that’s the first time I’ve ever even seen a demon! Aren’t they from another plane? Who knows what they are capable of? We have to think out of the box here. Maybe find our own demons to team up with us, but oh no can we even trust a demon?” Yuka winked at Aiko subtly. She was nonetheless careful to keep an eye on them for their reaction.

She was certain no one else thought anything of their fluffy fox friend. Yuka had a feeling something was awry from the moment she saw Aiko essentially shapeshift their sex, as she had never seen a demihuman do such a thing before. Given the others had not been demihumans, she knew perhaps that’s why no one else had questioned it. Yuka had not been sure just quite what Aiko was and still wasn’t, but she had a hunch towards a possiblility. Not that she’d accuse them or even speak of it aloud. That would ruin the fun.

She then glanced around the room, examining their reactions. Yuka pleasantly smiled as she concluded, ” Basically I think we’re all fucked!”

Equipment: The clothing on his back: A unbuttoned dress shirt of the pirate-y variety, leather breeches, matte black in color, leather boots, in surprisingly good shape. Dagger, borrowed from Tigerlily

Tesoro scanned the deck of The Harem, noticing that most hostile combatants are either dead, dying, or have gone overboard. He drew in a deep breath as the sun shined overhead. Exhaling slowly, the pain and fatigue of the battle was creeping back throughout his body. The gunshot wound from earlier, obviously only bandaged, began to throb and sting. He would have to get it properly treated, with salves and balms, lest it festers, and cause him to lose his arm or worse.

Just why in the hell did he jump in front of Tigerlily and take a bullet for her? His previous 'life' started to reappear in his mind. His former crew, the ones that he used to trust with his life, the same ones that he went through so much with. The same ones that marooned him and left him penniless and shipless. It, for obvious reasons, left a terrible taste in his mouth. It caused him to lose trust, to vow to himself to never fully trust someone again.

Yet, he let the mermaid, a species known as the scourge of seamen, bandage and treat his wound in a moment of vulnerability. One that he accosted and insulted. Who accosts and insults him right back.

Just what was he feeling or even thinking about that woman?

Gathering his thoughts, he moved as quickly as he could and dealt finishing blows to any enemies that were still clinging to dear life, ones that they forfeited as soon as they boarded The Harem. Quick strikes with his borrowed dagger made sure they met their makers. Satisfied with his work, he quickly wiped the blood from the blade of the dagger before securing it to a small sheath he pilfered off of one of the hostile combatants and tied it to his left upper arm.

Having noticed that the a good number of the crew had boarded the other ship, he naturally started to tend to whoever remained behind, giving water to those that needed it, bandaging wounds as much as he could, and moving the dead off to the side. He thought to himself that he noticed the captain, Nym, Helios, and Barboda had gone to the other ship, surely to finish the job and count the plunder. There was one missing, one that is very important to him. Tigerlily. His own curiosity took him to the end of the ship, to see if she had jumped into the sea. He spots the mermaid and slid to the side of the ship and cast a line for her. "Hey! Here! Use this to get back up!" He called out "The captain, Nym, Helios and Helmet-Head have all gone to the other ship if you haven't noticed. You aren't hurt are you?" He waited to see if she would take the line so he can pull her up.

Barboda looked at Ardyn on the transmission. “Your cargo was ruined by your own crew killing them so you can’t blame us.” He paused before speaking again. “Captain Ardyn Croft your head is worth a lot more than mine ever will be. I know at least a dozen who would pay more than fifteen thousand Amas for you alone. You have been a plague on the waters for far too long and don’t worry I will kill you just like I did to most of your crew. And worry not, you will be writhing around on the ground in agony wishing I killed you outright.” Barboda’s tone had a sense of fury that he had never shown to anyone in a very long time. “I will make sure that you suffer.” He stopped and raised his arm to his helmet, grasping it tightly in his fingers.“This will be the last thing you ever see when I inevitably find you”Barboda lifted it off his head and revealed his face, his snake-like eyes void of emotion despite his lethal tone, “and I kill you.”

Having to put his hands together, and prevent his tail from wagging, Inori was left in a position where every natural reaction was curbed. Watching chaos unfold was for an Azure Fiend like the beauty of a flowing dance across starlight. He was almost thankful to see one of the particular things he feared; Light Magic. It grounded him, helping the demonic boy center himself. ’If I fight these people, I will have failed in my assignment,’ a thought encircled him, one surpassing the notion of anyone’s safety or wellbeing. ’But if I was to fight them..,’ he pondered, claw rising to tap at his chin as the lad pictured the scene. He was still young, still growing into his Azura, and surely couldn’t combat a user of Light Magic while simultaneously fighting a handful of other opponents, despite their fractured and unstable mental states. However, Raven was a ticking time bomb, and thus using her to his advantage was paramount. A simple nudge would push her over the edge, allowing Inori the opening he required to scratch out those who posed the biggest thr-.., the boy shook his head. There was no reason to entertain that right now. He was making friends, wasn’t he?

It was going splendidly.

Tilting his head, the demon continued watching. He really did want something to drink, something to imbibe while enjoying the sight before him. Chaos, panic, anger, aggression, a crucible of destruction. Pride had done exactly what he intended, and it worked without a hitch. From what Inori knew about the Sins, he could narrow down their immense strength, and found respect in the power they possessed. However, the reptilian demon had not taken Pride for a tactician, and while this act was a far cry from calculated master plans, it had sent the surface races into disarray, something they were already struggling with; and this was rather interesting. How could an army so divided ever hope to defeat Pride and his compatriots? Inori’s desire to linger had grown ever more present, and despite the threat he received, despite the yelling he endured, he was captivated by these panicked individuals. No, perhaps ’because’ of the response he had witnessed, the infernal was intrigued. What fun was there to find in an army collected beneath a tyrant’s thumb? No, this was a boiling pot, and Inori was going to see where it led.

He would proceed to converse with these individuals, for a part of him had already grown to like them. An expert would be able to pinpoint that Inori’s stance on current events did not hail from malicious intent, but rather his biology. Perhaps the lad’s position would change upon growing closer to surface dwellers, but could anything surpass biological wiring? These were thoughts taking hold of him, despite the series of disasters swirling like a tempest. Would it have been a good idea to offer his aid? To present his own powers as a means of containing the chaos rapidly expanding? A boring, and horridly atrocious decision, but one that could further his research, and his curiosity. Even so, he was currently considered an enemy by virtue of Pride’s actions, and catering to a less impulsive approach, while hard to stomach, was the most sensible decision.

Besides; Inori had promised drinks, and it was only proper to follow up on that notion, wasn’t it? Following this sequence of thought, he pondered approaching this issue from afar, taking note from a distance. An immediate flaw presented itself in how he wouldn’t be in the thick of the issue, but the added distance allowed for a more nuanced view. A difficult decision, but one he could consider. After things died down, he could allow for some space between himself and the others, an attempt at letting emotions settle. With chaos drifting away in the breeze, Inori crossed his arms. He had chosen a hilarious, albeit bad time to approach this lot.

Helio sighed. What awaited them all was the image of a holographic man. What a joke. I don't have time for this. His foot tapped anxiously as the man spoke, making his demand for him and Helmet-Head. He figured the others would most likely agree to this. It was not like they all knew each other that well. If he had to fight more to get to Faye, then so be it. Barboda was quick to answer first, speaking more than he ever had. Helio could not help but whistle out loud at the sound of fifteen thousand amas. Glancing over at Nym, it was easy to tell he could practically taste those amas already.

He glared down at the floorboards. No way were they going to want to go to Roshmi now. Barboda statements rapidly got more intense. He picked his head back up to stare at him with surprise. He sounds mad. I can't believe he has emotions... Kind of hot. I dig it. His eyes widened even more as Helmet-Head actually took off his helmet. Well shit! Nym did not falter either, going on to say some badass lines. Helio cared for none of it however for more than a split second. Every moment that passed by, was another moment he could lose Faye.

He had to hurry this along.

"Well. Based on the fact you seem to be threatening us and it smells absolutely disgusting, I am gonna take a wild guess that your hologram isn't the only thing down here."Helio could not hide the irritation in his tone. In fact he might have even sounded as furious as Barboda, but perhaps it wasn't necessarily even aimed at Ardyn Croft. He waved his hand impatiently, his eyes narrowed. "Tell your stupid son of a bitch to come out so we can kill them and move on."

Annya could not believe Eris had made a portal. She had done a double-take, rubbing her eyes. She wasn't sure she had even seen Rosaria do that yet. Just how old is she? She let the thought roll off her as she watched Raven calm down with immense relief. That was one crisis averted for perhaps the next five minutes. Still, she was proud of herself. She had managed to handle that all on her own. Maybe she'd even pat herself on the back later. Someone had to. She noted the others returning but her focus remained on Raven, her expression softening as Saoirse had collapsed at her side and hugged her, comforting her. She was glad to see those two together again. Exhausted from the situation, she approached and collapsed to her knees, and hugged both the girls. "I'm on your side, girls. I promise."She told them, embracing them tightly. As she did, the two of them seemed to disappear from sight to everyone else. She focused on keeping them invisible for the time being.

After a brief silence, she whispered, "I'm afraid... I cannot really give you ladies much time to recuperate here. Others have surely taken notice."

She stood up and offered her hands out to the girls to help them up. She waved her hand as visibility was returned to Kharne and Ismael. She wanted everyone out of the area as soon as possible. "Kharne, Ismael... Can you please accompany these girls back to the Inn or even just anywhere that isn't this beach? They need to lay low. I feel that we should leave this town as soon as possible. "She glanced towards Eris's back. A portal was going to definitely be a much better option than anything else, but she knew how awful the familiar feeling of complete mana drain was. Considering the woman had put all that into making sure Rue could get away safely, she felt compelled to at least thank her. "They should remain invisible to others for the next few minutes, but I will not be able to have the effect remain once they are a far distance from me, so, please... All of you move quickly. I want to meet you back in the room for a meeting as soon as possible."

With that, she started over to Kaleb and Eris, her gaze lingering briefly on the blue demon as she moved. She wondered if this was all just a show to him. For a moment, she had considered taking out the sole truth potion she had and getting answers from him. Considering he had done nothing to help, she felt satisfied in her initial answer of "no" to him. She kept her expression towards him neutral nonetheless. She made a note to herself to simply keep an eye on him to see what he did next. Though she wanted to kill him and be done with the threat, she had no idea of knowing his capabilities.

Annya moved over to the Eris and Kaleb as they were moving away. "Hey, is she okay?" She asked with concern. "I appreciate what you did there, Eris. I owe you a drink for that one..."She said with an exhale and glanced at Kaleb, "Mind if I help so we can get her out of here faster?"

The princesses might have said some more regarding Jomari's reaction but at that point in time, he didn't care enough to listen anymore. "2-3 days?!" He shouted in reaction to what Uzul said about how long it will take for them to get out of this sandy hell. "Ugh, gross. At this point, I'll end up getting fried by the sun before I even meet our enemies. Heck, I haven't even 'tried out the delicacies' of this weird world... You know what I mean." Jomari grumbled while walking. Complain all he wanted, he had no choice but to continue trudging forward to their next destination. If his Nanay Minda would be here, she will surely smack his ass for having a loud and foul mouth.

During their journey, Uzul guided them to a rockier part of the desert. Jomari was at least thankful that he could finally walk comfortably on solid ground and he didn't have to constantly worry about slipping down the dunes they were walking on. He did help in setting up one of the tents and he quickly came inside as soon as he was finished with it, leaving the rest to go work their own tents themselves. He let out a sigh of relief and laid down on the comfortable cloth. He could even already feel the chill creeping in, remembering what Uzul said about the desert being cold as ice in the nighttime just as it was hot as fire during the day.

As he was stretching his arms and legs out and relaxing from the stress of being under the sun all day, Jomari was surprised when Uzul went into his tent and explained his predicament. "Oh you got no complaints from me, big guy. Besides, with your size, I'm sure you used to squeezing in tight spaces." He flirted and giggled at him. Jomari could still hear muffled voices outside the tent but he didn't care about them, especially when he got Uzul all to himself. Someone in the group will sleep happily and peacefully tonight.

Of course, it did not last long. Jomari was also awoken to a scream as Uzul got out of their tent to investigate. Jomari peeked his head out and gasped when he realized something terrible happened: the princesses had been kidnapped.

He got out of the tent and listened to Nuallán explaining what to do in the case they find the princesses. While it was very wrong of Jomari and it was not the right time, part of him enjoyed seeing the smug look on the elven dog's face be replaced with stress and discomfort. Nuallán then ran off to follow one of the tracks in the hopes that it would lead to the princesses' kidnappers. "We'll think of something for that. Right now, our priorities are to make sure we find where they are and make sure they're safe!" Jomari shouted at Uzul and Kuroi as he sprinted off to follow Nuallán. As much as he didn't want to, he thought it would be better if Nuallán had back-up just in case things went south.

"W-Wait up!" Jomari yelled at Nuallán while running to catch up to him. He remembered what Rosaria said about him being a geomancer, someone who could control the earth. While he still wasn't sure how to harness that power, he could already tell his ability shall play a key role on their mission.

Barboda held his breath noticing those around him gasping for air in the darkness; he couldn’t see anything but the heat signatures coming from those around him. This could go very wrong quickly. He could feel water was now at his feet. Was the ship going to sink? Barboda had been trying to figure out a plan to get out of this situation when the darkness finally dispersed from around him. He watched Lizzie get impaled by a tendril of darkness from the dark elf and fall to the floor shortly after.

Barboda looked around and ran towards Lizzie grabbing her limp body and slinging it over his shoulder. “We need to get off this ship now or we are going down with it.”He stated in an almost demanding tone. He did not waste time as he climbed back up the ladder and to the deck. He made his way back across to the Harem and laid Lizzie on the floor and knelt next to her. “I am sorry, Lizzie..” He said to Lizzie. It was obvious she wouldn’t make it. “I will avenge you, Ardyn has taken too many lives. Now he is taking those who do not even belong in this world.” Barboda stood up and looked towards the other ship waiting for the rest of the crew. He briefly glanced at Tesoro and Tigerlily, ” Lizzie will pass soon. I do not think there is much we can do.”
