Aery, having thoroughly explored the ship and the cabin designated to them, was left without anything to do. She decided to leave the grown-ups to their conversation, and do something useful like sharpen spare daggers. So she went down to the cabin, to sort out what all she'd purchased. She'd been in such a hurry that she hadn't really kept a tally like she was supposed to have.
She opened the rucksack and dumped everything out on the floor. Spidersilk tunics and leggings, one set for each person in their party. Shimmery black for Celaena, silvery white for herself. A full-face golden mask for Celaena, studded with rubies and onyxes. A half-mask for herself in silver, studded with diamonds and aquamarines. Because she had a weakness for the girls, a purple and silver half mask for Ame and a blue-and-green marbled one for Silly. A belt with two secret compartments, each holding three throwing stars, for Silly. A long silver dagger with a mother-of-pearl handle for herself, because she decided she needed at least one "pretty" weapon. Several vials of poison, for Celaena's use, as Aery already had plenty. A strangling cord for Ame, though Aery prayed the girl would never have to use it. Assorted daggers and sheaths, and... A sword. She'd never really used a sword before, but she'd found a short sword that fit her hand. The blade was slender and rather short (when compared to most men's, or even women's, swords), making the sword kind of a very long dagger, but it gave her better reach than any melee weapon she'd ever used before.
Once everything was laid out orderly, she went up onto the deck, to find Celaena and Shadow. "Mother, Cousin, I've readied our quarters." She used her lofty royal accent, the one she vowed she would never use again. It served well as a disguise, now that she thought about it.
