Iris smiled and said “my helping hands at lady. Lucky for you I only need you when tools and weapons need to be repaired and I get overwhelmed. Right now you need to pick your weapons for on board then get to the captain for guard duty. Warning she will act like she doesn’t need it but she does...” she moved the table over so he could walk into the back and said “anything without a tag is free game.” 

She went to check supplies then called out “you also need a sawtooth blade. The ropes on this ship are old and stiff” 

Avery was working at the chart desk, the floating images above the table looking like ghosts. She was leaning against the table, barely able to stay upright but she kept going. She rubbed her eyes, hearing the dark chuckles behind her. She cursed and muttered “shut up...I can’t think with you giggling...” 

Iris walked back over to him when he picked his weapons and tools. “Now before dinner you will need to check in with the Docs. But the twins will be slammed till dinner so I wouldn’t go down till dinner is about to start. You all set?”
