Relaxation:
I don't find much more relaxing than the black.
Sometimes, it just so relaxing you ain't got much else to do but stare at your boots most of the day, though.
Least ways when folk ain't causing mischief or fei hua or the like.
Though I should welcome the distraction. There is only so many Captainy things to do in the black. Even ordering crew around tends to get stale after so many turns.
Relaxation is fine enough for an evenings drink or a dance, but when it gets too quiet, the mind can take to thinking.
I don't need no cracks about that. Thinking is a dangerous occupation. If's and But's and Maybe's.
They can swallow you whole in the black.
So people should thank me when I make them wash latrines.
But do I hear a xie xie? No. Not a one.
