Autumn docking

[i_am_a_pisces]

The weather has been quite fair lately, and heading into the fall with such mild temperatures, I've decided to stay a bit longer than I had intended to before heading out again for the autumn voyage. The previous winters for the last couple of years have started out in the same gentle way, and going from that experience, I think remaining here to

Nah, not the Lino. I won't let those pompous windbags onboard. They can see it fine from the pier, it's big enough.

[i_am_a_pisces]

That is good to know, sir. Your ship is certainly a sight.

[loudest_egan]

She is, isn't she? *grins* Not like I can take the shipwright's credit, but hey.

Fact of the matter is, our ports of call are really no business of these Zexen folks. I'm hoping they know that, but if they don't, I'd be pleased to teach them the lesson.

[i_am_a_pisces]

She is indeed....it is a marvel to see what has changed and what has stayed the same in ship building over the past few hundred years or so.

*Grim half smile* Then let us hope they know better.

I didn't know you had plans to set out again so soon, but I'm glad you're delaying them to enjoy the harvest, Sir Troy. My hometown of Iksay holds a harvest festival every autumn, if you were interested.

I usually dock her in Vinay del Zexay for the rougher winter months, but the autumns of late have been mild, so I feel it safe to delay.

Iksay? I believe I heard something about that last year, and the crew could certainly do with some harvest-time events...

[percivalthegale]

I see. Well, we have had a run of good growing seasons and fine weather into the harvest. All the more reason to give thanks, I suppose.

Yes, and it's the closest village to Budehuc, so it isn't as though anyone has to go far out of their way to attend. It spans three days, later this month. Plenty of food and drink for all.

[i_am_a_pisces]

We all benefit from a good harvest...as on land, or sea.

It sounds ideal for the crew, I will make it available to them if you would be so kind as to give me the dates and directions when it is time.

[bouzouki_beauty]

Well, take your time here. The rest will be good for you.

[i_am_a_pisces]

Thank you, I believe the crew is looking forward to it.

[pretty_tamer]

You have your own ship. Fancy~

So what's your name, sir?

[i_am_a_pisces]

I'm not sure it's 'fancy'...

Troy. I do not believe we've met, miss?

[pretty_tamer]

Hi Troy. My name's Norma, but I only recently got here so it's understandable that we haven't met yet.

[i_am_a_pisces]

I see. A pleasure to meet you, Norma. Where are you from?
