A brief vignette regarding the search for Lady Sayilla Javilerre.

Dawn Breaks

8 Fashonas 5123, Solhaven

"Where's my coffee?" The thud of heavy boots on the vessel’s planks reaches the captain’s ears moments before the cup is shoved unceremoniously into her waiting hand. "You keeping your eyes peeled? No sleeping on the job this time!", she barks.

"Aye, Captain, me and Phillipia both are keeping a weather eye between here and the coast. But to be sure they don't expect to find anyone when it's this cold and dark." The crewmate winces as the captain shoots him a pointed look.

"Maybe not, but it won't be for lack of trying." With her free hand she gives the wheel a turn, moving off towards the southeast. "We will stay out here until we find her or are too beat to go anymore, am I clear?"

"Aye, Captain." The crewmate trots off, the sound of his boots receding as he moves aft to return to his watch.

"Pippa", the captain yells, "Anything?"

"No, Marinae, but I'm still looking, and I trust the Mistress of the Water will keep her safe."

The captain snorts as she mutters, "That's if her Father hasn't already claimed her."
