Okie doke, I tend not to rush it, I like to pace out events so the action isn’t all condensed, also to allow some character development. I wanted to see what Elissa would get up to in the cabin :p also it gives Joseph a break to think about things. It’s hard to react to too much dialogue or events all at once I find. I’m quite keen to see what you have planned for Rat’s revenge! I wouldn’t be upset if he faced some consequences from it…!

The sailingmaster is also highly respected and holds a high position on the ship, so she’s no small figure despite her physical size, she also knows Joseph really well, just to give you a little pre-emotive background :) she is also a pirate, so might not necessarily be friendly as such…
