Kerris hung back a bit as other crew members filed off the ship as she was in no hurry to leave the swaying deck. It was where she felt most comfortable. However, soon she knew she had to leave, as she had to meet the Captain, and she wanted to make a stop as well. The group would need to head out soon, so she grabbed her own bag of supplies for a trek across land; it had been some time since she had done that.
The red-haired woman balanced across the plank easily, and felt almost as home melting into the hustle and bustle of the port city as she did on board a ship. She had never been to this town in particular before, but it was generally easy to find a place to restock her shore bag.
Such a place stood out to her after not too long of searching. It was a simple shop a few streets away from the water, simply called “Jack’s General Store.” The building was rather simple, like most of the town, and especially compared to some of the sights Kerris had seen in her day. Most houses were wood and stone with very little décor, though many places had a bit of coloured paint and gardens. The general store had troughs out front where a couple of horses were tied off, and the wood was all painted a dark green. It looked welcoming. She approached the door and pushed it open, triggering a little bell.
“Hello there!” A man, presumably Jack, greeted her upon her entry. He was clean looking, but simple. His hair was graying and he had a bushy beard.
“Good morning,” Kerris replied. A few other customers were browsing his shelves, of which there weren’t many. They held simple tools and other items of that sort; no weapons, nor anything of fancy quality. Mostly sturdy, handy things to have around. Behind Jack’s counter, there were other items, such as grain for horses and dried meat, cheeses, and breads for people. She approached Jack and asked, “could I get a bag of the pork and a loaf of bread?”
“Of course!” the jolly man agreed, and turned to grab the requested items from behind himself. “That’ll be two pieces.”
Kerris smiled and paid the kind man. She packed the food into her bag after taking out a piece of meat to snack on and headed back out into town. With that errand over, she started heading for the edge of town to meet Amia.
She arrived at the beginning of a sandy road, where few people were travelling. It seemed like not many came to this town except by water. She was the first to arrive, so she set up camp on a rock near the road where others could see her and began to wait for the rest to finish their business.
As Amia made her way through the crowds on the dock, she thought she spotted a woman similar in description to what Avoir had told her. With no other way to be sure, the Captain made her way over to the woman, and as she approached, noticed that she had been seen, making her more sure this was Kossara. When she finally reached the other woman, she offered her hand. “I’m Captain Amia. Are you Kossara?”
