They do well enough. [ For the dead walking ] And they seem to be enjoying themselves, so I am glad. In my own world we sometimes had little time for simply relaxing and investigating new things of late, so for them this is a welcome reprieve.

[hearsthesea]

I think I understand. I'd still rather go home and continue the things I need to do, but...it is nice to be out here, in some ways.

[bythewaves]

Mm - I suppose it is a little easier for me, as... there is little for me back home. But I can understand the urgency of others.

[hearsthesea]

Do you want to go back home?

[Most people Shirley's known do, but not everyone.]

[bythewaves]

I... [ Maglor shakes his head slowly ]

There is nothing for me there. I am content enough here.

[hearsthesea]

I see.

[She's not going to argue against that, and Shirley's not going to ask if he doesn't elaborate.]0

Then I hope all of you are able to stay here, as long as you can.

[bythewaves]

[ If she asks, he will tell, but Maglor is grateful for the consideration, flashing her a shy smile ]

Thank you, milady. I hope for that as well. But what of you, is there ought I can do to aid you?

[hearsthesea]

I'm all right, actually. It was hard for me to get used to suddenly being on another ship before, but I've had some time to adjust since then. Now it's good to see that this ship is home to another family...there used to be a few, you know.

[bythewaves]

Ah truly? That is heartening to know. I do feel as if we have displaced you, however! You are sure things are well enough?

[hearsthesea]

I am, I promise. Mikleo's said that I can come back anytime if I want to, so you don't have to worry on my behalf.

[bythewaves]

If the lady insists. [ Maglor smiles at her ]

And I must agree with our captain - if you ever wish to return, I would not begrudge you - indeed, I would welcome your company, for it has been most pleasant so far!

[hearsthesea]

[Awwww. Shirley's pretty flattered by that.]

Thank you. I've been thinking about it a lot lately, so I think I'll be coming to a decision soon.

[bythewaves]

[ He only speaks the truth! ]

Then I will look forwards to that decision, lady!

[hearsthesea]

[It doesn't hurt her decision process, that's for sure.]

Thank you. I'll be sure to let you know once I do. In the meantime...how is the ship doing, now?

[bythewaves]

It does well enough, I think? My cousin, the implants wish to exercise his skills as a cook, which will doubtless improve morale!

[hearsthesea]

Oh, does he? It sounds like he must be a very good cook!

[bythewaves]

He is! At least, I think so. I suppose we will have to see what the rest of the crew think.

[hearsthesea]

I hope they enjoy it, too. I've heard some...less fortunate stories from Mikleo, about what's happened to the kitchen.
