So, on the boat, you got a warning before Captain Redd would toss you in the brig. How does it work around here?

[he's just curious. Honest.]

Comments

[madteos]

I understand. Thanks, Talia.

Better, now that you're here with me.

[She moves so she's leaning against Matt's side, curling her legs up underneath her.]

Of course, Matt... if there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to ask.

[He puts an arm around her shoulders and hugs her close with a smile.]

What're you reading?

[Jael smiles and closes the book so Matt can see the cover. It's a book about sewing, though it seems to be more about how to make the complicated clothes that are in the clothier's tower.]

I am rather disappointed in the selection here.

[Books were very heavily regulated back home. It was just one more freedom he was grateful to have back on the boat. Here? Not so much.]

I know. Learning one hundred different ways to cook a radish is only interesting for so long.

[Jael shakes her head and sets the book aside.]

It's getting hard to find anything fun to do.
