"Oi, hey. You there." The strange shadow waved to her. "Who are you?"
So'kein cussed under her breath. Someone had heard her shouting, they had probably seen her break the glass against that statue. He had probably been a statue of someone important. Damn you Bob. She shook her head and then turned to face her fate. As her eyes focused on the figure, she thought she must have seen a ghost.
"By the kindness of the goddess Sylaise..." She muttered, "Has she blessed you with a return path from the very grave?" It was him. What was his name? He was the one who wore enough jewelry to bring even her into a jealous envy of such a collection. Finally his name returned to her.
"Captain Maren!" She called, walking over towards him. Wait. Her mind caught herself. He asked who you are. "I'm not Captain Maren. You are. Are you not? You were. I believe so, less I have drank too much rum tonight. I didn't even have much left. It has been a very strange night..." She paused and tapped her nose a couple of times, as she tried to recall what she was supposed to say.
"Oh, yes. Ehm, I'm So'kein. If you remember. It has been awhile though dear, and you may just be a ghost after all." Rin--the fox--walked up to Maren and offered him a curious sniff. He too recognized the man. So'kein wondered if he was still captain. He had been one the last time she saw him. At least she thought so. Perhaps he was captain of a ghost ship by now. Creepy. Her mind flashed back to the sea-monster that had attacked their ship. They had all fought against the beast, yet he had managed to send the vile thing to the grave. Had he died then though, with the beast? She couldn't remember.
So'kein hummed at the thoughts whirling within her mind. Then she looked back up to the man. "I think...I've missed you all. Have you brought the others, or do they still rest in their graves tonight?" She was still trying to decide if the figure standing before her was real, imagined, or a ghost. Whatever he had returned as, she could use the company.
