[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Is that a short joke?”[/color] The smaller girl remarked, just to tilt her head as she listened to her Captain. Having abandoned digging through her supply box for anything worthwhile until she could look around, Kailani now leaned against the railing near the bow of the ship, trying to catch a glimpse of the approaching land. Still, though she wasn’t looking to Siobhan she still listened, and finally slid her gaze over to the pale woman with a puzzled expression. [color=DeepSkyBlue]”That’s pretty stupid. For the record, I think it’s pretty neat – you managed to survive Ka Li’Ai, after all!”[/color] The girl gave a little mock salute however, a grin lighting up her face.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”But you can count on me, boss!”[/color]

As [i]The Coral Skipper[/i] crept toward the city however, the perplexing puzzle of fishmen was pushed aside for growing excitement. It would be Kailani’s first time visiting an actual city off of Pekelo Island, and she was [i]excited[/i]! Excited to see how they lived, what sort of things they’d have, and what their ships looked like [i]intact[/i]!

Apparently it was all very smoky. Huh.

The dark skinned girl’s head tilted slowly in puzzlement as they approached the island. It was odd. Everything was blackened and charred, smoke drifting into the sky. Somehow Kailani didn’t think that was typical for a town, right? ... Right?

No, definitely not. A glance at Siobhan’s face as they approached the docks confirmed that.

As soon as her Captain jumped to the docks Kailani followed, finding that the charred wood held her weight far easier – she was much smaller than Siobhan, after all. Taking a few steps forward the jungle girl glanced around, just to lift her head. Sniffing the air a frown crossed her lips before Kailani turned her chocolate gaze to the fishwoman.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Smells like burnt flesh!”[/color] She tilted her head, tapping a finger against her bottom lip. [color=DeepSkyBlue]"Really burnt though - not evenly cooked like on purpose."[/color]
