"That ravenite shaman was adamant about it: we were to be delivered directly to the king in perfect conditions. No bruises, no wounds, no damages...of ANY type. Just, huh, wanted to remind it to you, mister slaver, before you think of changing your deal." - Poppy says to Pisces.

The elf frowns as Poppy's words. "Typical Elonnori...doesn't know to not speak out of turn." He chuckles. "But that's what make so fun. Like wild horses, must be broken first." He shakes his head. "Did hear king is looking for new concubines after queen's death. Guess he wants better heirs than the one he's got. Can't blame him." He looks over the four women again. "Too bad for you. Heard he pretty rough. One day, you might wish you had gone with me instead." He laughs, then gestures for his men to disembark and return to their ship.

"He was...charming," Kalinda says sarcastically once they were gone. "That is probably what we should expect once we reach shore."

April, who had been shutting her eyes and blocking out the conversation, opens them. “He’s gone?” she asks, getting her armor back on as soon as possible. “I am not getting tied up again,” she says to Kalinda.

Pisces removes his tri-corner hat and wipes some sweat from his brow. "Whew...I gotta stop taking these crazy jobs." He puts his hat back on. "Alright, let's resume course and hope we don't have any more close ones. I really thought we were going to get made there for a second."

"Why are you looking at me?" Kalinda asks. "It was Poppy's plan. I just made it look more realistic."

"You all did great! Well done all." Terani days emerging from his little spot.

"I think she just meant the rudeness. Elonnori men are definitely more demure than this, what a savage ass." - Poppy comments. - "But I wonder what he meant about the prince. Seems there could be some friction between him and his father."

"Do you think that could be useful to us somehow?" Blitz wonders.

"Being accepted in ruling? Finding acceptance? I should hope so." Terani offers while he muses over the comment about Eleanori men.

The ship sails onward, and thankfully they don't run into any more patrols or other dangers. By evening the next day, the rain has cleared up and they reach the sea cave Pisces spoke of. Steering the ship inside, it anchors there, in the dark. "We have instructions to wait for you here as long as we can. We only have enough food and water for a month, though. Longer than that, and we'll have to assume you were captured or killed and are instructed to report back to Si'ahl to give the bad news," the captain explains. "You're free to stay here tonight, if you don't want to begin your journey in darkness. Then again, darkness can be good cover. Your call."
"Oh, one more thing," Pisces warns. "Your Elonnori vestments," he notes on April and Terani. "Might stand out a bit in Ravenite territory, just a head's up."
==============
It is now Vacuumvoid 11th, 666, Rockday in the evening.

"If the prince resents his father for whatever reason, it could be easier for us to convince him to come with us." - Poppy answers to Blitz.
----------------------------------------
"Do you have some spare clothes for them?" - Poppy asks Pisces, before mulling their next move. - "I think it would be best to wait for the morning before we leave."
