Yalene smiled wider, “Aye, twas a tale.” She agreed, “Ye wouldn’t ‘ave expected t’see the captain go tumblin’ o’er the side o’the ship.” Yalene laughed at the memory, it had been a windy day and the sailors were having trouble keeping the sails correct, when Captain Adras came up to inspect his crew he unfortunately got caught up in the stray ropes and ended up flailing over the side of the ship into the water below.
“The tale is still told t’new crewmen.” Yalene took a bite of the bread, checking to make sure her large mount Seregon was still grazing in the makeshift pasture, “The children seemed t’enjoy the tale as well.” The young woman enjoyed retelling the ship tales; it made her feel as if her family wasn’t so far away. Her brothers would be unhappy to hear that she had gone wandering with a group of strangers, but she would send them letters to ensure that they knew she was well taken care of.
“They’re parents may not be as ‘appy, some are bound t’be ‘earin’ the sea chanteys for days yet.”
