Zypha was at the wheel.  So Abigail took the crow's nest.  Which she quickly came to regret.  It wasn't a lot of work, but that was the quickest way to get exhausted and before too long she started making up scenarios in her head.  Sometimes there were sea kings and other times there were marines.  One time they got attacked by a group of merpeople.  Currently she was fantasizing about an enemy ship that was launching cannon balls at them, at least she thought it was a fantasy.  That all came to an end when Zypha mentioned them having admirers.

"What?"  Abigail blinked and blinked but the image wouldn't disappear.  "Oh crap!  That's an actual enemy ship!"  Since Zypha had noticed them too she didn't have to call anything out and used that time to hurry down to deck to stand next to the more dominant member of the two crewed ship.  "What did I miss?  Did they send some kind of warning I didn't see or did they just start firing for no reason?"  She scratched her nose and leaned forward on a railing to try and get a better look at the approaching vessel.  "Those aren't marines so why fire at us?"  She turned her attention back to Zypha.  "By any chance is there some kind of dark and mysterious past that's coming back out of the mist filled ocean?"  It was a bright and sunny day, but that wasn't the point!

She nodded in agreement with Zypha's decision to get closer.  "That sounds like a plan.  I doubt they'd be expecting that.  I know I wouldn't."  She paused and watch the other ship start to get bigger as they moved closer.  "So are we going to ram them when we get there, or try and board their ship?  There's always that famous option of looking like we're going to ram them and then don't.  Just move a bit to the side and sail right past them.  Then they'll lose time due to having to turn the ship around to chase us."
