Hi, ah.

[ Awkward fingergun for you, network. ]

Quick question, the reason for it will sound obvious given recent events. [ ie: that giantass flood that ruined everyone's homes. ] Does anybody here own any of the ships docked in the port about a ten minute walk above the Crystal Beach? Specifically, the large galleon. I know a few are owned by companies and the other dock is strictly for Lunar Knights, but I'm looking to make a purchase or strike a deal for that ship in particular.

I'm Fjord. Thanks ... for your time.

[ He meant no offence, just blunt honesty. ]

No, not always but most of the time.

[ Caduceus lets out a pleasant sigh, he's so proud of Fjord, of what's he's overcome to be the man he was today. ]

It's nice having a Patron that's kind, isn't it? I mean, it must be compared to Uk'otoaa.

[ If you listen carefully, the word is repeated, faint and on the wind ... Uk'otoa~ Uk'otoa~ ]

[halforc]

[ Get lost, sneasnake on the wind!! ]

Definitely, yes. I never really chose Uk'otoa, he was simply the only option I had at the time, back when I wanted power for the sake of it.

[eyesofthegrave]

Well, look at all the power you have now?

[ Caduceus didn't know how he was able to do it, keep some of his Eldrich magic as well as harnessing the Melora's power. It was far more impressive than anything the firbolg was capable of. In his eyes anyways.

He pulls Fjord closer to his side as they walked, meaning to hold him a bit tighter as he spoke. ]

You eh, you don't still dream of him, do you?

[halforc]

[ Dream of Uk'otoa? Hmm. The question distracts him from being pulled in a little closer as they walk. ]

When I first got here, my initial Sanguis ... I was covered in scales and tried to shred them off with the bigger claws I got. I looked like ... some kind of fish-man. It was horrible. Webbed hands ...

[ He shakes his head, hazarding a smile. ]

That was the only time I felt like he was around, never since.

[eyesofthegrave]

[ Caduceus nodded as he listened. There were some hard times Fjord had gone through a little while back, what with that Eye orb and all... ]

A fish-man? Yikes, I can't imagine that was any fun.

You still have scars?

[ His faint smile is returned back at him, Caduceus trying his best to just ooze as much calming energy and healing vibes as he could, as they walked. ]

[halforc]

The scars only show up during the Sanguis moon, like they're part of the scales. All down my body and arms.

[ He shows him his free arm, despite it being clothed, to indicate where the scars would be.]

They always disappear.

[eyesofthegrave]

Maybe... If you show me the, during your moon. I might be able to help ease them a little?

[ Caduceus got the idea. It sounded terrible. Poor Fjord, and here he thought his moon was bad. ]

Still, not a nice reminder I bet.

[ As they walked through the crown and neared their eventual destination, Caduces kept a watchful out, seeing if he could spot Fjord's ship out from the rest. ]

[halforc]

They don't hurt and I'm used to being ugly during my moon, my corrupted looks aren't the worst of it by far. But, thank you.

[ The docklands are a lot busier and less pretty than the Crystal beachfront, with sailors heading to and fro as Fjord leads Caduceus past the modern cruise-liners and sleek white ships to a rather dark, large galleon whose hull looks like it took a battering during the flood. It's the same-ish size as the Ball-Eater albeit a little smaller and a fixer-upper, but Fjord stops on the dockside to look at it as if it's the answer to all his problems. ]

There she is! Not exactly the loveliest thing here, I know, but her masts look sturdy and she has all her sails. She's workable.
