<div>Will throws himself into ship board life. Not only is this his first time on a ship of this size but he figures the busier he stays the better he will get through the first few rough days aboard. He uses the opportunity of learning about seamanship to explore every nook and cranny of the ship. He pays particular attention to the masts and rigging as the actual sailing of the ship fascinates him the most. If he has the chance he will participate in the setting of the sails and examine the rigging aloft. When he is not busy with sailing related tasks he will pull out his sketch pad and draw people and activities on the ship. He draws them in detail including faceies during conversations details of the the block and tackle turnbuckles etc as well as well as some of the natural environment like the gulls and so on.</div>

<div>OOC is the ship Lateen Rigged like a Dhow or Junk Rigged and does it have a crows nest?</div>

<div>To Ha"Kell</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> Ha'Kell chimes in, "I can teach you both shield and tulwar. I use >those along with my favorite spears."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"If you are giving lessons count me in shield and tulwar are on my list of things to learn"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To Kiet</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Perhaps when we have learned a little of the shield and tulwar we can spar against each other mock combat of course. I had a teacher once who advocated the benefits of using your skill in ways that let you know by pain of mistakes if you are really learning."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To Raban</div>
<div> </div>
<div>>Raban thinks for a moment, "Will, I expect I will have some time to >work further on my bow, so teaching you should be possible. I am >unsure if I will have time to learn much beyond Seamanship, is line >drawing easy to learn?"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Its quite easy and lets you view life through a new perspective as you are forced to get out of your own head and see what is really out there." Will flips through his pad of drawings showing them to Raban including one he particularly likes of a lone wolf staring back at the viewer from the edge of a forest. "this one speaks to me sometimes I feel as the lone wolf." </div>
<div> </div>
<div>To Z'leyra</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Thank you for your generosity I hope I have the chance to repay you when it really counts"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To Arawn</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Thank you for your kind greeting I too hope we have the chance to share more stories as we travel together but for now kiama thinks it best that I leave some details till later." </div>
<div> </div>
<div>OOC I am experimenting with my tecnique and trying to group my responses together let me know if it is working or not. Also I am interested in learning the various languages on board ship so I assume we will somehow take turns using the amulet let me know how that works.</div>

<div>> Kiet says, "Thank you Farseeker, but I think I am going to<br>> need the safety of a shield...and while I am capable of wielding<br>> such a sword, I believe my interest is in something smaller...like<br>

<div><br>><br>> Captain Lesai finishes up the rules of the ship. When he talks<br>> about the horses being forfeit it is clear Ben'dar doesn't like<br>/ the idea of losing Tef'wo. But with Chion on board there is always<br>

<div> </div>
<div>"Ben'Dar, why are you so upset possibly loosing Tef'wo? He is a marvelous steed, and I hope it does not happen, for his sake and yours. If there is anything I can do please tell me."</div>

<div>Kell thanks Z'leyra and give her a bow and a dazzling smile, "Thank you lady Z'Lerya. If there is anything I can do for you I would do it."</div>

<div>/ Kiet sees the ship too and frowns. To whoever happens to be
<div><br>/ around, Kiet muses, "Well, the Chaos realms now know what direction<br>/ we are going, and that we are travelling with magically aided<br>/ speed. What one of them knows, soon all will likely know...<br>

<div>Puzzled, Kell asks, "Who is the Her you mention? The way you said Her makes me think she is not the average woman." </div>
