up on the deck

[scaredbrilliant]

Justin was taking a brief walk on the deck for some fresh, non-durian-scented air, when he noticed the woman. He thought he'd seen her on the docks after the smoke-bomb evacuation, but didn't know her name - if she was crew, she wasn't in the records yet. Though she could also be a Kropmork friend or relative of one of the other crewmembers.

The way she moved conveyed so much innocent happiness, he couldn't help but smile as he passed by her.

...Still, what she did next didn't look safe. "You probably shouldn't lean over so far. The ship can be a bit unstable sometimes."

[oppositeshore]

Unstable? She tapped the rail with her finger, "It's stable. Don't worry, Ichi is careful."

She then leaned back and waved excitedly at the sky, "Clouds! Look, clouds!"

[scaredbrilliant]

"If you're sure." Well, she hadn't fallen off, and it was hardly his place to tell her what to do.

He looked up, following her gaze. "I know. They are rather pretty."

But they were, really, just clouds, and he looked back down after only a brief moment. The unknown woman was more interesting. "I don't think we've met before, have we? I'm Justin."

[oppositeshore]

"Ichi isn't sure. But it doesn't move."
Here, Ichi poked the ship's rail again, showing him that it didn't wobble or anything like that, "So...it should be stable. It doesn't move when Ichi pokes it."

Oichi disagreed, of course, clouds were very interesting. Instead of replying immediately, she followed one particular patch of cloud with her eyes until it was out of sight, before turning and nodding her head, "Justin. Nice to meet you, Mister Justin."

It had been a long time since Utena stepped foot on the Fiertia. She had only been on board for a short time, not nearly long enough to be considered part of the crew, but it was enough to recognize the ship. Utena walked across the deck and retraced old steps from over half a year ago and nearly lost herself in nostalgia. However, soon her thoughts were interrupted by a new sight: the mystery woman who joined them just before their troubles started. She knew nothing about her beyond that strange outburst at the tavern.

Curious, she walked up beside her and, after Utena made sure to give her her own personal space, rested against the rail.

"It's a nice view, isn't it?"

[oppositeshore]

Oichi didn't turn, leaning down a bit to try and look through the clouds, "It is nice. Can people see Ichi from down there?"

She gave a small wave, just in case.

She was still looking for her companions, she was! She had just forgotten. They must be able to see her, up in this airship, but..."What if they can see Ichi...but Ichi can't see them?"

[princelyspirit]

"Well, I don't think people will be able to see you from this high up," she said. "After a while, you don't notice the people on the ship, just the ship itself. It's just too far away."

[oppositeshore]

She was a little disappointed, she had been so sure she would be able to find them if she were to use an airship. She sighed, "So...Ichi can't find them this way..."

At this point, she turned to look at the person that had been talking to her, and immediately noticed her hair. "Your hair..."
