( toward the evening, in a lackadaisical manner, Licyn tackles his immense dislike of magic, which is what these searing pendants are, to offer up...

... not terribly much, but he has to start somewhere, being off contract and not able to speak with those who he might contract with in order to get back to whatever disaster Rillin was left facing. therefore: )

Evenin', loves. Had myself a bit of a gander between the ships, in all the chaos we've been up to or trying not to die of. Noticed a few things. Not sure if they're telling anything more interesting than mermaids and cursed seas and wailing dead and a whale of an island swimming off, so here we are.

( his smile is practically audible now. )

Our lovely lady Pariah is so new you can smell the paint and oil of her finishing. Meanwhile, a certain scent I've encountered before is lurking around on our adoring matron the Queen Zanyra. Any of you familiar with drugs taken to calm the mind and set you dreaming? Our Queen is lightly taken to the flower dreams.

Theft, certainly, raiding ships, but using dreaming drugs at sea seems less wise than whatever rum we're carrying.

[beitangmoran]

Are you sure they're using them and not just transporting them?

[bravelyrunsaway]

The nose knows, love. They're none of them heavy users, or the one using is not inclined toward heavy use, but it's there, and not old.

[beitangmoran]

.... 'love' ?

[Excuse you, sir?]

[bravelyrunsaway]

( he chuckles at that. )

Yes?

( implied: and? )

[beitangmoran]

.... Do you often call complete strangers that?

[bravelyrunsaway]

Strangers, friends, acquaintances, no one I contract with, people get slippery like that.

[beitangmoran]

And people just let you do it?

[bravelyrunsaway]

Unless they find other ways to occupy my mouth, yes.

[beitangmoran]

Well, there's only one person I'd accept that from and you are not him, so I would thank you not to.

[bravelyrunsaway]

Take it in confidence of knowing when your lover says love, they mean it with every convoluted depth people can give the concept.

( he's going to do exactly as he usually does, but hey, he can give one shout out to: you do you, and i don't care about your gratitude or lack thereof. without having to directly say as much. )

[Oh, one of these, huh? Moran doesn't have the patience for that, so he's just going to... ignore this conversation for the time being. And just commit the bit aboutt he drugs to memory.]
