Our impromptu date, wetsuits and all, was exactly what I needed. Just the ability to relax around the guys and make jokes made all the difference in the world. Even the dead fish floating around the bottom of the tanks being eaten by the other fist wasn't enough to dampen our spirits. And now, I was more than ready to face whatever the commander was going to throw at us.
We made it to the docks around 1230, and before any of the Sea Dragons managed to. I sat that the end with my feet dangling in the water. Knowing I was the biggest bad around made it a lot easier to do shit like that.
"You're early," growled the commander. It was obvious that he wasn't impressed with our punctuality.
