"I can't help it," said Prince Aesril after he was surrounded by the crew. "But don't blame me if this ship sinks together with the items inside the locked doors."
"That should be it," Captain Creft said. "I am aware of the outcome, young Ely. But Dacota is all I've got. It was already fortunate that we escaped storms from the last three days. Let us handle things from here on."
Gelethorn raised an eyebrow. Calling the prince young seemed to tick something inside him.

Prince Aesril tagged Gele's broad shoulders.
Gele looked over his shoulder and nodded.
No matter what attitude the humans show to them, they were there to travel to O'rriadt with fewer delays if possible.
