"Hey, boss!" Someone on the boat called out to the long-haired man, then moved his head, pointing at Vir who was approaching them.
The long-haired man watched Vir for a moment. "I think he's a poacher."
"Is he lost?"
And the others chuckled in response to that.
"What can I do for you, man?" the long-haired man asked Vir.
"Are you the captain of the ship?"
The long-haired man grinned with his hands on his waist. "What do you think?"
"Yeah, I think you're the captain."
"So?"
"Are you going to the North Country?" asked Vir, again.
The long-haired man glanced at his six companions. "Yeah, you guessed right," he replied. "Do you want to hitch a ride on my ship?"
"If you don't mind," Vir replied. "You know, I'm unlucky enough not to have gotten anything in this land of the dead. Hell, I should have searched the South."
The long-haired man laughed. "Luck doesn't come around every day, man."
