Dawn, June 25, 60 AUD
Dock 15, R'ileigh Harbor.
The group is sitting on crates and their luggage at the Dock when the transport ship to Valkenburg arrives. The captain of the ship walks up to the group and waves at them.
"A bright and good morning to you lot." The man says to them.
"And you as well, sir." Hector says.
"You must be the group that called sent for the travel ship? I like your punctuality. This here ship's the Swimming Star, and I'm the Captain, Chevalier."
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Cap'n." Lyse says in a most respectful tone.
"Well, it's not going to be dawn forever. Is this group here all of the passengers?" The Captain says.
"Well, we're waiting for our leader..." Gavric says.
"Leader, huh?" The captain thinks.
"Dammit, Ari." Hector says. "First, he tells us to meet him at dawn here, then he goes off with those two Reverends. Now he's the one who's late."
"Ah." The captain snaps his fingers. "Your leader is Arryn of Asa, right?"
The group exchange confused glances.
"Um...yes, how do you know that?" Elyra asks.
"It's cause I hitched a ride early." Arryn says, sitting on the broadside of the ship.
The group is startled.
"You've got a lot of explaining to do, mister!" Lyse says.
"Be my guest. We've got tea in the cabins." Arryn turns and heads into the ship's lower deck.
"We?" Hector asks and follows after Arryn. Gavric and Lyse, along with Captain Chevalier lift the luggage into the ship.
The sails are dropped and the Swimming Star leaves the Harbor.
