I'm brooding. By this point the only thing that might make it better is the lovely company of a lovely female but seeing as none of those are around, it can't be helped. 

My stubborn brat of a sister just flipped me off. For what? For being enraged on her behalf? I start thinking of ways I can turn this into a positive. Sentence her to be marooned on Haust because of insubordination? No, anything I come up with using this will be thin. It was plain as day she was giving the bird to her brother not her King. My eyes narrow. Every muscle in my body wants to coil tightly but I force my breathing even. Force my jaw unclenched. 

Gaul asks to speak with me. I look up barely catching what he said. It's a welcome distraction all things considering.I push off the post I'm holding up and follow him down. 

Once we're below deck I make myself comfortable on the floor. I lay on my back, legs crossed, arms behind my head, and settle in. "Alright bro what's up? What do you got me down here for? "
