"It's probably the biggest I'll ever see." Pieter commented, leaning on the railing as he looked up at the tower. "I wish we could stay here longer. This seems like the kind of place you could spend a lifetime in, but still not see everything. Maybe on the way back, there will be time. I really would like to see all those places myself."

The ship set sail the moment the last of the cargo had been taken on board. The distance they were traveling would be much greater than the trek from Bruma to the Imperial City, but given the speed afforded to them by the ship it would take about the same amount of time. There would only be one stop along the way, in Leyawiin, so they would arrive in Senchal about as soon as they possible could have. 

Life aboard the ship was quick to become routine, since there were few ways a day could actually vary from the last. Meesei, when not socializing with the others, often spent time either meditation on various form of magic in her room, or caring for Leaps. The wamasu had healed rather well from his wound, but he required considerable attention to avoid becoming restless aboard the cramped vessel. With few places he could go, he was enthusiastic for any sort of interaction with either pack. Ahnasha could not exactly train her conjuration aboard the ship, let alone necromancy, so she had to be satisfied just reading her tome. Of course, after years of study, she was reaching the end of what that tome could teach her. However, she still felt that she had a long way to go before she could achieve her goal of life extension, so she would need to find that knowledge elsewhere. Kaleeth would have had difficulty filling up her free time, but Newt gave her plenty to do. Whenever bored, she liked to head above deck and look out over the shore with him, answering any question he could produce. Lorag, after running out of mead, actually managed to work out a deal with the captain to allow him to do some work for coin. The payment wasn't exceptional, but it kept his days filled when there was little else to do. Pieter, true  to his word, did everything he could to try and come up with ideas to entertain himself, Tzirret, and Sabine. Some were successes, others failed spectacularly, but he did manage to at least only get into minor trouble with the crew. 

The closest thing to an issue was that, after about a week on the, it was pretty much confirmed that Irenya was avoiding Meesei, Ahnasha, and Fendros specifically. Of course, she tried to hide that fact, with minimal success. 

It was just after a week had passed that the ship docked in Leyawiin's port, and just like last time, Ahnasha seemed to be having trouble willing herself out of bed. She had once spoke with Fendros about talking to her family, but evidently, it was much more difficult than she had thought to do that now that they were actually at the city. It was made worse by the fact that some of the captain's cargo had been delayed, so they would be staying in port overnight.
