On board the Maiden's Revenge
On board the Maiden's Revenge
As soon as Historia's feet crossed the threshold, Inej swiftly shut the door behind them, barring the girl from any further attempts to enter the room. Seeing Cinder approach, she pinched the bridge of her nose and took a slow, deep breath. Gods give me patience. The sun had since set, the sky darkened to a dusky blue. Lightning sparked above, bright flashes muted by a dense sea of grey clouds, accompanied by the heavy scent of petrichor. One second... two second... three second... four second... Another flash. The storm was at most a mile away and based on the wind's speed and direction, the young woman guessed it would be upon them within the hour.
"Unless you're here to tell me that you've blown a hole into the hull of the ship or that the rest of the crew had been taken hostage by the Ridolfite Navy, neither of you should be up at the helm." She snapped before giving Cinder a suspicious side glance. "Why are you back anyway? Don't tell me you've already lost all your money at the tables."
It was then Inej noticed several workers approaching the docks below with a cart filled with large wooden crates. Captain Mercer had notified her before disembarking of a large shipment that would be delivered to the Maiden although he had conveniently left out what exactly that shipment would consist of. She sometimes wondered how the Captain expected the crew to trust him so wholly when he barely trusted them.
"Sal! Addam!" She called out. "Break's over. Time to get to work!" No response. Sensing something was amiss, Inej hurriedly searched the deck only to find a bucket and mop abandoned by the foremast where she had last seen the deckhand. Realisation struck and anger rose in her like a tide. For Sal's sake, she hoped the man had found religion because it would take a divine intervention to stop her from murdering that petulant man-child with her bare hands after she hunted him down.
