Slowly, a grin blossomed along Kailani's face, her dark eyes glittering. Well, wasn't [i]that[/i] just perfect? Though she seemed alarmed about the fate of Edgar's corpse - probably thought she killed him or something. The islander waved her hand in the air with little concern.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]"Don't worry! Like I said, you're the first person to have survived getting here - he was already dead. I'm not a savage.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]"My name is Kailani, and [i]I[/i] am the best shipwright on the island!"[/color] ... Mostly because she was the [i]only[/i] shipwright on the island, but that was neither here no there.

We'll remake the Striker - which, if you're worried, was specifically built to withstand Ka Li'Ai,"[/color] Kailani gestured toward the storm, [color=DeepSkyBlue]"Then get me to land, not [i]geysers[/i].
