Anyka just nods numbly.
She looks at her for a moment, "Okay....everything will be okay." She motions at Jinn to come over and be with Anyka. Looking around she says, "Everyone that wants something, pick it up and then lets get the rest of this crap packed up and get outta here. We got bastards to kill....."

"Aye. Back to the ship. I'm ready to be free of this."

Terra had kept to herself mostly, she wanted this to be over, but sometime she only wanted to just forget about it and live her life like she dreamed of.
what everyone was going through was rather hurtful. and she was never much for comforting words.
hearing Tikkle suggest going back to the ship, she never thought she would actually be happy to hear that.
good, lets go then, she looks back at the bodies and she opens a hole under each of them so they fall in and the seals it closed, actually making the stone crush the remains.
less bodies for the piper to use. she mumbles, trying to justify things in her mind.
She nods, "It's okay T, we understand. This has all of us on edge I think."

"Yea. Let's get back." Flynt says putting his arm around Terra.
Chris follows the rest back to the horses and then back to the ship.
Gashka gets on the horse, thankful for the comfort that the familiarity of Chevalier brings to her. She doesn't say much on the way back unless addressed by one of the others. She had too much on her mind.

The trip back is uneventful, and while still takes the same amount of time as getting to the ruins, it felt as if the journey took an eternity. Returning to the Wild Cat, everything seems the same as you left it. The crew was going about their daily duties, however, Tehanna or Jeggs was nowhere on deck.
Looking around she wonders aloud, "Huh.....where are Tehanna and Jeggs? I don't see them anywhere."
-Posted with Wayfinder
"Yea, I've got a bad feeling about this."
After Chevalier is stabled back down in the ships hold, Gashka goes up to the deck and heads to the room Tehanna had been staying in. Knocking on the door she says, "Tehanna, are you in there? It's Gashka....we're back and we need to talk to you." As she knocks, she looks around to see if she can locate Jeggs anywhere. Looking at Tikkle she says, "Go talk to your men and see if any of them have seen Jeggs or Tehanna. We need to know where they are, now."
There comes a thump from the other side of the door, "Dii te perdant it! Quis est?" Tehanna asked. Then a moment later, she spoke again, "Gashka? Give me minute." Not too long after that, the Dark Elf opened the door, rubbing her eyes, she asked, "Is everything okay? Where's Chris?" You only just notice how tired she looked.
She looks at Tehanna for a minute before snapping herself out of it, "Tehanna, are you alright? Chris is with us and he's alright. We were worried when we didn't see you or Jeggs on deck. What's been going on and why do you seem so tired?"

"Been on night watch for the past couple nights. And afterwards, I've been studying the book Chris gave me. I just finished about an hour ago." Tehanna responded.
Looking a bit apologetic she says, "I'm sorry Tehanna, if we had known we would have let you rest. We just....we wanted to make sure you were okay, and needed to talk to you about some things, but it can wait until you're better rested. Sorry I woke you up. Have you seen Jeggs recently though?"

"Not since I got off watch at dawn. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some sleep to catch up on." Putting a hand on the Half-Orc's shoulder, "See you later." Gently, she closed the door.

"Of course, goodnight Tehanna. Rest well." She sort of shrugs her shoulders as she looks at the others, "Well, I guess we'll have to wait till she's rested to speak with her. I'm feeling pretty wiped out myself."

"Oi! Jeggsie! Where'd that blasted birdbain get to?" Tikkle is in a foul temper as he boards the ship. He even punches a random crewman who fails to heed his mood.

After catching his breath, the crewman Tikkle punched responded, "He went to secure more provisions for making the powder that these cannons use. That dark beauty was pretty busy making it in addition to her other duties."

Gashka sends Tikkle a curious look before going after him, "Hey Capt furry pants.....I know things have been more than a little rough lately, and I feel bad about how I lost it back there. What's going on with you.....are you alright luv?" She shakes her head, "Everything will be alright....we'll find that bastard and give him what he deserves."

Putting a hand on the side of Tikkle's face she says as she looks up at him, "Why don't we take the horses back to Ms Gray? I'm sure we'll run into him in town and you'll feel better when you know he's alright. Okay my love?" Standing up on her tiptoes she gives him a soft kiss on the cheek as she tries to soothe him.

Gashka and Tikkle return the horse to Miss Gray with little difficulty. On the way back, the run into Jeggs leading a cart full of various provisions.
Jin turns to Anyka. "I think we should try and relax before the next batch of crazy comes our way. How about a meal? oh and I do mean food."
Breaking out into a genuinely warm smile, Anyka takes Jin's arm. "I think that's exactly what I need.." Giving him a sidelong glance her smile shifts to a smirk. "I'm not insatiable you know, and besides it's your fault for being so.....addictive."
"I could try and be less... addictive, but I don't think either of us wants that." The mage replies as the two head off in search of sustenance.
As soon as the pair entered the Galley, Ol' Sticks took one look at Jin and said, "You again? What do you want now, keys to the storeroom? Ain't happenin', got it?"

Jin laughs at the cook. "If I wanted the keys I'd just take em, and you'd never know it. I'll stick with just dinner this time if you please."
With everyone else occupied, Chris disappears into his room and bolts the door after Renard follows.

Flynt takes Terra by the hand as they get back to the ship. "You wanna take a walk?"
Gashka looks at Tikkle for a moment, but after a few minutes of silence frim him she looks at Jeggs, "Hey there, how's everything going?"
-Posted with Wayfinder
"Pretty quiet actually. Just gettin' supplies for Tehanna to make more powder for the cannons. Very efficient that one." Jeggs replied.
With a 'hrmph' Sticks disappeared. You could hear the clatter of cookware and smell the sizzle of food. Whatever he was cooking, it smelled divine.
Her cheeks darken slightly, "Yeah....I sorta accidentally woke her up I think. We didn't see you two on the ship when we got back and with everything that's happened....well, we were just a little worried. We thought maybe....something happened to you guys. It wasn't a very.....pleasant experience and I think I sort of lost it. I even kicked Tikkle here in my frenzied state....I didn't mean to, I just lost it." She sighs and shakes a bit as she remembers the things they saw while away. "It...just wasn't good, but I'm glad you're okay." She looks at Tikkle again and nudges him in the side, "Stop acting like you weren't worried too and say something so I don't look like an idiot please." She rolls her eyes at him as she shakes her head.
Flynt takes Terra by the hand as they get back to the ship. "You wanna take a walk?"
Terra looks to Flynt, ahh, sure. it isn't to big of a ship but I really don't want to leave it right now.
as she starts to walk with him, Flynt can sense that she feels more at ease with him nearby, almost like she feels safe.
"Sure, we can walk around the ship." Flynt releases Terra's hand to put his arm around her as they start strolling. "You can tell me anything you know that right?"
"Sure, we can walk around the ship." Flynt releases Terra's hand to put his arm around her as they start strolling. "You can tell me anything you know that right?"
Terra looks at him, of course, why would you say such a thing?
"I dunno, you just seem uneasy lately, more than usual. Maybe it's my paranoia acting up again."
Not too long after, he disappeared, Sticks returned to the young couple with a pair of steaming bowls of stew. With a wary look at Jin, he set them down and curtly said, "Enjoy." Quickly, he returned to the galley.

After the cook leaves Jin laughs and says. "I just got why he's called Sticks."
"I dunno, you just seem uneasy lately, more than usual. Maybe it's my paranoia acting up again."
Terra was silent for a moment, it really nothing. honest. Terra was never really good at lying.
She tries to hide it, not wanting to upset Flynt.
Tikkle was a bit behind Gashka, having been pulled into a conversation with an old acquaintance. He caught up, seeing her talking to Jeggs. "Oi birdbrain. What's been happening the past few days? Has the wildcat been to sea at least once? Oh and by the bye the new bloke, Al, probably needs the apology shift tomorrow."
His tail and left arm find their way around Gashka's waist subconsciously, indicative of his mood defaulting back to his usual pleasant demeanor.
