Many hours have passed since Nathaniel's lucky encounter with the ship Sea Bird. In that time both he and June have explored the ship familiarizing themselves with its layout and greeted the hardworking members of Ferdinand's crew. The new faces were a nice change for the two after their short isolation out on the sea. Compared to the never-changing scenery of endless ocean the busy feet strolling through the hallway of the ship even as the evening sun began to set over the horizon brought a bit of cheer to the stressful time they have been having.
