Alarith: leans on the railing Remember the buyer? Outwitted. Avoided dirt-cheap sale. Saved ship. Interest?
Of course! But… did you really have to pull that trick, and remind him of this every single day?
looks away and taps the railing with her finger It got me out of there, didn't it?
Yes, I guess it did! And now we're sailing together again!
smirks and looks at Neatch That's right. We're back on the open sea, just like old times. Only difference is, I'm not some lowly asset to be sold off.
And I'm not so young anymore either! Things sure have changed!
crosses arms Change is good. Keeps life interesting. But I'll tell you this, Neatch. Things are about to get even more interesting.
grins and points to a distant horizon We're heading for a storm. Big one. And we're gonna ride it out, Neatch.
A storm? Well, I hope you know what you're doing...
laughs confidently Of course I do, Neatch. I've been through worse than a little storm. Trust me, I've got this under control.
Just remember, Alarith, even the best sailors hit rocky shores!
pauses and looks at Neatch with a serious expression Rocky shores...
chuckles Don't take it the wrong way, Alarith. I trust you... most of the time!
raises an eyebrow Most of the time? Now, that's not very reassuring, Neatch. But don't worry, I thrive in uncertainty.
grins You always were a thrill-seeker, Alarith. Makes me wonder if we'll ever have a quiet life!
leans in closer to Neatch Quiet life? No such thing in my dictionary. Life's an adventure, Neatch, and we're at the forefront of it.
laughs True, Alarith. True!
As the storm approaches, Alarith and Neatch must navigate through its treacherous waters, facing their deepest fears and testing their trust in each other.
We soon find out how strong the bonds between us truly are...
grinning Buckle up, Neatch. This ride's gonna be wilder than any rollercoaster!
smiles Just make sure we don't go crashing into those rocks, okay?
with a confident smirk No worries, Neatch. I've sailed through worse than a few rocky shores. Trust me, we're gonna make it through this storm unscathed.
