Leaving the elf to her solitude the Quartermaster fought giving further advice. He was known to be a spring of idioms, but he felt words were more weight then strength to the woman. Sailing with an elf was something different. He felt the cargo he and the crew were carrying was now somehow different. Though the Captain would disagree with this assessment Bert was a little more of a romantic when it came to the travel of the sea. At least in some respects. 

Cannon's knots had passed the test and so the Quartermaster handed back the ropes after giving them a heavy pull. Now the boy had to practice getting them undone. Getting a knot tied right and quick was important, but getting them undone was a labor in itself. More than a few new words of frustration were birthed when a sailor had to untie a knot. 

With the day continuing and the winds being favorable the ship would likely do. This made sense as they were still in charted waters and coastline so the Captain and helmsman were familiar enough with where they were. Additionally they still had Honfleur ahead of them which meant lighthouses would warn them of any new outcrops or dangerous areas. 

With the day continuing the ship finally prepared for evening just as the cook called out food to be ready at the next bell (Roughly 30 minutes) Several of the crew came out and began shifting the sales while Cannon and Gun ran up the rope ladder to tie them down. While sailing at night the captain said they would sail 3/4ths so as to not rock the boat as much. 

Finally a bell sounded and passengers and crew gathered for the evening meal. With this being the nights first meal and the weather being what it was, a small tradition of the Silver Wing was able to happen. The protective anchors and backings of the cannons were taken out and with a little handyness were able to be turned into makeshift tables. Setting them along the railings and using some of the boxes of cargo as seats a makeshift banquet seating was achieved. 

As the crew and passengers gathered their food they would make their way up and collect a seat. Even the Captain would partake in this and once he collected his food he was up on the deck and found a seat next to his First Mate.
