==On a ship in the Thassa off the Coast of the Isle==
: says to ALL: *The Serenity flowed through the Thassa, men at oars beneath deck, slow drum beats setting the spead of the oars. I stood aboard the deck, watching, land closing in closer, trusting the men onboard the roundship to bring it carefully into harbor. Steel blue eyes looked over my shoulder, once again checking to make sure that no one had followed me. A tremor raged through my body, just remembering what Father had in mind. No way was I ever going to be companioned to that brute. Lightly coralled lips straightened at the very thought. I would show the world I could make it on my own.
Under the expert guide of Stephen the roundship pulled closer to the docks, honeyed locks blowing across my features as the breeze aboard Thassa caressed my skin. Soon, I could restart, hoping Father never found me. Ed and Edd came above deck, leaning in close, whispering that all of the trade goods below deck were inventoried and accounted for. I nodded my head in acknowledgment, pulling the tawny larl fur cloak tighter around me.
"Hopefully we have found an island in need of these trade goods. Perhaps we may even find a welcome place in which to avoid Father and his nonsense."
Ed and Edd laughed heartily, shaking thier respective heads as they took thier places to bring the roundship to dock

== On a Ship moored at the Docks ==
: says to ALL: *Eddie came stumbling up to the dock, his cheeks reddening profusely. I facepalmed, reminding myself that the only reason I kept him in my employ was old family loyalties. He wasn't exactly the brightest rose in the garden, but he was good for comic relief, and I knew I could rely on him to get between me and any danger that may appear. He grinned lopsidedly, his seven foot frame gangly and not completely filled out yet. He was still young, I reminded myself with a sigh. Steeled gaze raked across his features, only making him blush even deeper. Ed and Edd would certainly razz him for this one. He ambled awkwardly across to his partners, working the ropes to tie the roundship off at the dock. The three jumped aboard the wooden planks of the deck heading for the harbor master. I settled the leather satchel upon my left shoulder, patting the pouch of coins hanging from the long leather belt around my waist, watching the trio, hoping they weren't going to get me ripped off once again.*

== At the Docks ==
: says to ALL: *One perfectly arched brow raised as Ed began speaking to the harbor master. I bit back a frown as I was pointed at, a motion made with my right hand behind my back, bringing Stephen and Bear to stand behind me. They were obviously of Torvaldsland descent, as were all of my crew, arms crossed, looking overly protective. I relaxed for only a moment, watching the interchange closely. I couldn't hear the exchange, but I had known these boys long enough to know I could trust them to not sell me out. After all, I was their bread and butter and they knew it. They may have worked for my father at one point, but now I had their loyalty. Yes, I had paid for it, but, being the spoiled daughter of a physcian, I could afford it. Bear grumbled beneath his breath. I turned my head sharply to him, giving him a look. He laughed heartily, grinning at me. I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the trio. I watched the coin being passed to the harbor master, turning to nod to Stephen and Bear. Calls rang across the ship. First guard setting themselves in place to guard the ship. The rest of the men unloading from the ship to see what relaxation they could find.*

== At the Docks ==
: says to Kadlin BrightstarVekel's : *Giving direction to Stephen and Bear, they nodded their heads, sending a portion of the crew back aboard the Serenity. Ed, Edd, and Eddie, joined the two, standing just behind me. The roundship moved back out several lengths, the crew not staying aboard for protection climbing into a dinghy to row back to the shore. Yes, I tended to be a bit concerned about the contents aboard, but that was just the way I was.*
*I jumped a bit as a woman appeared nearby, her voice startling me just a bit. I hiked the leather satchel back over my left shoulder, pulling the tawny larl fur cloak tighter about me, inspecting you with steel blue eyes, showing no emotion. My gaze appearing to take your measure, yet not revealing anything in return. I inclined my head politely, leather glad hands smoothing the honeyed locks tumbling over my shoulders.*
"Tal, Good lady. I am Bera."

: says to Bera IsbjörnShadowed by E: Sky blue's looking back at the RingHorn and the crew hard at work aboard doing maintance then back to the lady. Sky blue eye's watching her as Geir and Skardi moved down the RingHorn's plank to join Me.
"Tis nice to meet You Bera , I dont think I have seen You around the Isle's before."

== At the Docks ==
: says to Kadlin BrightstarVekel's : *Stephen and Bear overseeing the removal of the few crates I would need on land, the Trio standing about trying to look gruff, I watched you, the men aboard the other ship. Gloved hands smoothed the larl fur cloak, invisible bits of lint pulled away and flicked toward Thassa.*
"This is my first visit to this island. Are there many who call this land home?" *I inclined my chin toward The Serenity, now safely anchored a way out from the docks.* "I'm on a merchanting trip at the behest of my Father."

: says to Kadlin BrightstarVekel's : *Dark steel gaze never wavered, never revealing anything either. As you spoke I watched you, very aware of all that my men were doing as Stephen and Bear headed toward appeared to be an inn with the crates I would need while off the ship*
"This trip I have blackwine beans, bolts of silk and wool, various spices, some pottery of varying kinds, casks of ale and mead from my Father's steading, as well as a few bits of furniture made by one of the men from Father's home. What types of things were you looking for?"

: says to Bera IsbjörnShadowed by E: My hands moved to My white larl cloak and pulled it tighter around Me as Skardi moved alongside of Me. He had been watching the men aboard the RingHorn and the crew of men moving about with crates.
"I was thinking of a new table for My steadin' here on the Isles , the one thats there is a bit rickity and old. Tis about ready to be made into firewood once a new one is purchased. As for Vekel , dont think He was looking for anything particular."

== At the Docks ==
: says to Kadlin BrightstarVekel's : *A smile that didn't seem to quite touch steely blue eyes curled upon my lips. I nodded my head as you spoke, a mental inventory of what was in the hold of the roundship quickly cycled through my memory. Turning to listen as Stephen approached once again, leaning down to whisper that he had secured three rooms, all of them close to one another in the Inn. He and Bear would take one, the Trio one, and I would have the one most centered. I nodded my head in understanding, accepting the key from his massive paw before returning my gaze to you. As you spoke I slipped the key beneath the cloak, tucking it carefully into a pouch hanging from the long leather belt.* "I believe I have two or three tables aboard the ship. One of tem wood, oval, would seat probably 6 or 8 people, depending on size. I believe there is one of ka-la-na as well, rectangular, seating four to six guests. I'm not sure what wood the third is made of, but it is huge, more like a harvest table for a kitchen. If you are interested, then before I depart, I shall be willing to take you aboard to look them over."

: says to Bera IsbjörnShadowed by E: A soft nod is given hearing of the three table's aboard the roundship,
"Aye I would be intrested in taking a look at them before You were to depart , but will have to have Vekel with Me since He shall have to look at it also. He can be a touch fussy when it comes to furniture at time's but He's one that look's at the workmanship put into the piece to make sure it shall last. He should be back from His steadin' this evening"

: says to Kadlin BrightstarVekel's : *A quiet chuckle bubbled forth, understanding exactly how men could be. A veil seemed to cover my eyes at that point, the chuckle quickly cut off, my gaze returning once again toward the ship, looking past it to make sure there was not another on the horizon.* "Then I shall look forward to meeting your companion and seeing if what is aboard is to your liking or not. Please forgive me, but I do need to go and get settled into the Inn. I look forward to doing business with you"

==At the BlueTooth Inn ==
: says to ALL: *Following Stephen and Bear, the satchel held tightly against my left shoulder, I followed them toward the inn. Critical eye took in the construction, red velvet skirt swirling around leather booted ankles, careful steps made through the snow on the ground. I made my way up the steps and inside, nodding to the innkeeper as I pulled the key from my pouch. I looked about, Bear explaining the costs and such to me. I nodded my head, in agreement to pay for a hand at a time, for the time being. Reaching the rooms, I was pointed to the one I would inhabit, and shown which ones the men would be in. A nod of my head as I entered the room, laying the satchel to the desk, the cloak hung upon a peg, settling into a chair to look out the window as the men went to find their relaxation.*
