Walking through the Grindstone, the serpent swords ship, Mindy received warm looks of respect from her crew. She may be the smallest one aboard, but that did not stop her from standing out due to how much the crew respected her.
She meandered through the halls with practiced efficiency and reached her and her partners quarters. They left on horrible terms this morning and she hoped he would not still be in a foul mood.
Opening the door, the first thing she saw was her husband, sitting exactly where she had left him, behind his desk doing paperwork. " Hi bubbles." Mindy called him his pet name. "Hey." He replied not looking up from his work.
