Poppy lets Mizzle's words lingers in the silence, with only the sound of the water answering her. She closes her eyes and savours that word: 'home', as she wondered what it meant to her.
The white colonnade, the porch where she used to watch her older brother read, the dining room that tasted like mint...
The litte house inside a tree, the sound of some weird concoction bubbling over the fire, the smell of herbs and spices...
The stone pavements, the long corridors, all the people going back and fort, the constant sound of chatting...
What even was 'home'? She wasn't sure. - "How is it? Your home I mean. The island you came from." - she asks Mizzle.

"Peaceful," Mizzle answers after a bit of thought. "Quiet. Not like the gardens at all. No poverty or homelessness. We all work together to make sure everyone has what they need. There's no money or war." She shakes her head. "Leaving was the hardest thing I ever had to do."

"Are you still having those dreams?"

She nods, looking down into the water. "They are becoming more frequent. Each time it's the same. A massive tsunami that destroys everything in its path. My island, the Elonnori gardens, the Ravenite tribes--all of it. I am still no closer to understanding what it means or how to stop it."

"So what are you expecting once we reach Maplewood?" Kalinda asks.

"So what are you expecting once we reach Maplewood?" Kalinda asks. (OOC: Sorry, I'm a little confused as to who Kalinda is addressing. Blitz flew up to the crow's nest and April climbed up after him. Mizzle went to the bow and Poppy followed. Pisces went into the aft cabin. Did Kalinda go to one of those locations, or is she speaking to Terani?)

Ooc: I posted that Kalinda climbed up to the crows nest, amd caught the tail end of what they were talking about.

I can't for the life of me find where you wrote that she climbed the crow's nest.) "To be honest, I'm not sure," Blitz admits. "My parents didn't like talking about their time there. But I imagine life is pretty tough for the Kanatans that still live there under Ravenite rule."

"Did your parents ever say why the others that live there didn't try to move south like your family did?" Kalinda asks.

Terani will after dinner time thinking, visit the captain. Gently knocking on the door and being asked entry he'll pose his questions. "Are you happy with our course? I've greater concern for the return section... Even the initial re boarding of the ship, for I presume you will not be able to dock but rather lay anchor a short way from shore?"

April and Kalinda "My impression is that a mass relocation of thousands of people would be pretty easily noticed by the Ravenites," Blitz answers. "Lots of folk try, my parents were just among the few who have actually succeeded. Most are caught before they even reach the shoreline."
Terani "Returning won't be much of a problem," Pisces replies, sitting at his desk and writing something down in his log. He sprinkles a bit of salt on the ink to let it dry. "I've made this trip once before. Last time we discovered a large sea cave in the area. I can dock the ship inside, and we can remain hidden from the Ravenites until you return."

"Do you know how many people are actually there?" Kalinda asks curiously.

"On the entire island?" Blitz asks. "Thousands, I would guess."

Poppy initially remains silent, before saying: "I was thinking we could use these dreams of yours to gain an audience with the prince. Ravenites seems to be a bit more..spiritual? I guess? With all those shamans and such. He could be more receptive to it. What do you think?"

"I suppose it's possible," Mizzle replies. "Do we know anything at all about this person?"
