1608. Slight Delay
"Hmm? Did we stop?" Walker felt that the swaying of the ship had come to a halt. This was what had woken him up from his nap. The sudden change in how the ship had bobbed on the water as it went down the river was enough to call him out of his slumber.
Without any effort, Walker left the cabin that had been designated as a resting room and headed back toward the top deck. Seeing that there was no panic or hurry in the movement of the crew, Walker knew that there was not an emergency. There was also no one yelling out for people to move in to battle positions.
"What happened?" Walker managed to see Su moving toward the front of the ship when he climbed the last stair. It was a fortuitous encounter since Walker was sure that she had been resting as well up until now.
