On the "dancefloor Wildecatte": Ash smiles ruefully and makes a quick look at Chris and Tehanna. With a rakish nod he takes the half-elf woman up on her offer.He is a quick study, and a firm partner.
"Nice moves milady." he offers, giving her all of his attention, but neglecting to ask her name.
Christophe dances with Tehanna until the stars begin to fade with the oncoming dawn. As the music dies down, he leads the dark elf back to her room. "Lorem mirum vesperum. Aut iterum super nos ... Donec Tikkle stellarum alium habere decernit."
Chris lifts her hand to his lips and tenderly kisses it before he let her go.
As they dance together Gashka sees Chris and Tehanna on the floor smiling and dancing and smiles a little herself.

The party begins winding down about dawn, and the crew retire to their quarters. Tehanna smiles at Christophe while putting her other hand on his cheek. "Forte tunc temporis manere poterat." Before he could respond, she stepped back and gently closed the door.
About six hours later, the crew could be heard getting the ship underway. The wind wasn't as it was yesterday, so the progress of the ship was slow. given the current speed, Tikkle determines they won't reach Polaris until dawn. That is if they sail all night.
Christophe turns from Tehanna's door, his heart lighter than it had been in...well, it was a new feeling to him. He makes his way back down to the ship's hold and crawls on the bedroll in the cart.
"Have fun?" the fox asks the witch.
"Actually, I did," Chris answers. "If you want to stop giving me my power, then go ahead."
"I've decided to take a different approach, Chris. Good night."
Tikkle Stands at the bow of the ship, a solemn look on his face. When Jeggs came around, he spoke. "The wind is foul. By Argus it feels wrong. We shouldn't have been becalmed all night, and the wind has shifted against us. Take down the black flag, Jeggs. We'll keep a close haul and sail for shallower waters. Tell the crew that if they don't want to row, they'll sail hard all day."
Flynt will dance with Terra as long as she wants to, mostly slow dancing. When the night is dark and full of stars, he carries her back to his bunk for a more intimate dance.

After a long day and night of sailing, the Wildcat pulls into Polaris Harbor. Tikkle has a bit of a long discussion with Harbor Master, the ship is allowed to dock at wharf three.
From the deck of the ship, you can see all of Polaris. A quaint and small city that derives its name from the large crystalline structure, shaped like a star, that hovers above the town square, a guiding light to all who seek shelter from the darkness.
Christophe walks onto the top deck, belongings in tow. His heart was beating quickly. There would be answers here and he wasn't sure if he would like them. He glances at the fox circling around his feet. Renard had been in a good mood since yesterday morning and Chris wasn't sure if that was actually a good thing.
"We're here," the witch says to the fox.
"About time...foxes aren't meant for ships," the fox says, his tone betraying something else. "We'll investigate your dream once the group has a plan."
As Tikkle finishes tying off the last dock line, (never one to bark orders and watch, always working as hard as anyone) Jeggs walks up to him. "Well Cap'n, we're in Polaris. You know what that means dont you?" the Tengu is stone-face serious.
The Pirate cat rises, dusts off his coat and looks his closest friend in the eye with an equally serious expression. "I suppose I do..."
Tikkle is the first to crack a smile. Both of them throw their arms in the air and shout
Gashka steps out of Tikkle's cabin wearing her regular clothing and a big smile. Grabbing her stuff she walks over to Tikkle. "Hey, what's all the shouting about?"

Flynt helps Terra pack and leads her by the hand back to dry land just in time to witness the enthusiastic cat and bird yell about seafood. "I could go for a bite."
"I wouldn't mind spending some coin on a nice meal." Jin agrees once on dry land.
"Polaris is good for one thing, mates, fish... and lobster... and I'm starving."

Asho meticulously compiles his arsenal and once on deck places it carefully about his person. He smiles at the new day and a return to this particular settlement. He makes a note of the establishment Tikkle is heading too then makes his way to the posting boards for those in his line of work…
Gashka smiles at Tikkle but looks a bit confused, "Okay...fish, I know....but, what's a lobster?"
Christophe joins Ash at the posting boards, his face impassive but his eyes betraying a slight fear. He looks through the jobs asking for healers, but, even though it had been three years, keeps an eye out for an advertisement for a new apothecary.
"Good food wold definitely hit the spot," Anyka says stretching.
Terra goes along with Flynt, definately happy to be on solid grond once more. so, where do we go to eat?
Terra seems to smile more when Flynt is beside her.

"Food isn't a bad idea, Chris," Renard suggests. "Let's see where everyone would like to eat."
"They look like the spawn of a sea devil, but there's no meat more succulent! Come on! We'll have to try some at the Silver, er... Kraken." He and Jeggs share a glance and a slightly uneasy chuckle as Tikkle puts his arm around Gashka and starts to walk off of the ship.
Gashka leans into Tikkle slightly as they walk off the ship together, "Reaally? Cause that doesn't sound very good.....but, I'll just have to trust you on this one Luv." She smiles up at Tikkle as she wraps an arm around him as well and steps up on her tip toes to give his cheek a kiss as they walk together.
Ash takes a note of the three bounties and waits a moment for Chris to finish his perusal of the boards. He then suggests they head off to join the others if Chris is ready…
As Ash leaves, he takes a careful note of anyone else watching the boards or reading notices…
Tikkle whispers to Jeggs, trying to recall the local law enforcement and their corrupt or stand up points.

"You remember Cap'n, this is where that young lad Davick Drake keeps and eye on the guard for us." Jeggs whispers back.
"ah yes of course... and of course you remember where to find master Drake... ... ?"

Chris follows Ash back to the others.
She tugs on his sleeve as she looks up at him. Pointing to the towns boards she says, "Hey, Chris and Ash went to look at the boards, lets wait up for just a minute and give them a chance to catch up. Remember, we're also here to try and figure out what happened to Christophe."

While everyone waits, Terra enjoys being able to better sense everything around her again. she looks for renard, hoping he is close by. or probably near Chris.
Once they are together, Terra takes a moment to pet Renard. Chris?, is anything here a little familiar or helpful? looking at Renard, same for you too, you can help also. Any fox that can say my name is ok in my book. she adds with a smile.
Seems terra has really taken to like Renard.
The fox stretches to enjoy Terra's petting. "Err-rah!"
"Yeah, I...there's something about the Merchant Quarter. Renard thinks we should go eat first though," Chris tells Terra.
Gashka looks back at Chris, "Was this the last place you were before you forgot everything? If it is....I think we should stick close until we figure out what's going on."
