A Merry Jaunt Upon The Sea

[delilah_dirk]

Who: Delilah Dirk, Luz, and Varian
What: Charting and exploration using Delilah's flying boat.
When: Early afternoon, start of October.
Where: Darcmouth, Pthumerian Ocean





She spent her nights in her small bunk on her boat. It had all she needed, really. A tiny little kitchen, somewhere to sleep. A few books of poetry, from the old world. Mostly in Greek. In times past, she'd sail her little ship from port to port - the entire Mediterranean Sea had been her playground, and she'd known every inch of it.

This was new territory, and while she missed the sun-kissed days and the bluest waters - there was new adventure to be found here. Though the vast ocean beyond was...different. There were things about it that she couldn't quite put her finger on, couldn't quite put words to. Things were different. It was far more than the different, starry sky she looked up at some nights, when laying back on the deck.

But today, well, today was going to be an adventure. She'd received word she'd be having guests aboard. She hadn't cleaned up - there was little enough on the boat that it hardly made much difference, really - but she had worked on breakfast. Pan-made biscuits, breakfast meat, and some fruit - and juice, of course. Because the Turkish coffee - or the closest ersatz she could make, anyway - she was brewing was...potent.

She would be easy enough to find, and hadn't bothered with directions - after all, how many sailboats tied up at the dock were there? And how many would smell of breakfast?

"Hah, I think I'll leave the naming to you guys, if it's all the same- Varian doesn't really roll off the tongue as well as a location name."

He hops off onto shore glad to have his feet on solid ground again.

"Well. I'm definitely all adventures out for today. Think I'm gonna head on home."

"Well, that's just ridiculous. If anything, Varian is the perfect for a small island. You're speaking crazy talk."

Luz hopped onto solid ground, also glad to be home.

"Yup, me too! Want me to whip up some hot chocolate for us both?"

Now officially a third wheel, she turns her attention towards the rest of her day. After a moment's thought, she grabs some of the food scraps. And one of her swords. Fish for dinner sounds fantastic.

"You two run along then," she replies, waving them off. "Welcome on my boat any time, and all that."

"...I honestly don't know if that is a snarky comment on my height or my lack of social skills or what."

Or she could just be saying a nice thing for you, Varian. He smiles, maybe a touch awkwardly, waving at Delilah.

"Thanks, I'll definitely take you up on that. Though...uh, I might bring more weapons with me next time. Just in case, you know. I...actually really enjoyed today."

And he's going to start heading off like the anti-social weirdo he is because he's definitely going to take up Luz on her hot chocolate.

"It is totally possible I'm just being genuine," Luz said, sticking her tongue out.

Luz nodded. Yes. Taking a weapon. Totally something that they would do next time. She was glad she brought Eda's staff with her.

"Me too! Next time we do this, we'll make YOU breakfast, ok?"

[delilah_dirk]

"Done," she says with a nod, tossing some food into the air over the side of a boat. And expertly spearing the first fish that goes for it with one of her swords, which flashes out at the sort of speed that doesn't seem entirely human.

It is. But she is very, very good.

"Ah, excellent. Dinner." She waves at them. "Right, off you go, have a good day."
