*holds tightly to the back of Liquid*

Caaaaal?

*the winds whips the words away*


*closes her eyes*

*begins to feel a little sick*

*The ground blurs beneath them. Gently he swoops down across the bay, approaching from across the sea, to land gently on the beach. Allowing them to dismount.*

Thank you my friend.. *hug*


*turns to Cal heaving as he lies on the sands*


Are you going to lie there all day?


*giggle*



*Watches Liquid fly off again*

*stands on shakey legs*


No

*laughs*

Oh Cal!!



*giggles*


*sits down and begins to finish her dressing*

*looks around for her hair ties....gone*...

Oh.. I must have dropped them..

No. They are hwere.
*Hands them over.*
Now I speak the language of these villagers I shall translate for you.

*grins*


*knows full well the ties are in his pocket*

*Looks confused*

*blinks*

Magic, milady.
*smiles*
I can pickpockets without anyone knowing.

*grins widely*

Oh Liquid.. *giggle*


Thank you .. *laugh*

The head man from the village is approaching. He cannot see me. I shall whisper a translation of his speech into your ears, and the reply and you can pretend to speak his language.

Whaat?


*turn round and sees the man approaching her and Cal*

He wants to know how you got here. Tell him the storm sank your ship and you swum.
*She uses the words he tells her. Man replies*
He says no storm this side of island. It's that Bob. He made the storm localised. Ask him for food and shelter.
*She does Man replies*
He says you can have a hut for the night and you must move on in the morning. It is bad luck for Elves to be here. They think it will drive the fish away. Ask for a boat.
*She does. man replies.
He says you must make your own deals as to that. There may be some who will sell you a boat. Do you want this arrangement,muilady?

. ... sell? us a boat!.. what can we purchase it with? </>


*smiles at the Village Headman*

Put your hand in your pocket, you will find coins

*removes several gold coins and some silver and bronze too*

Oh!...Okay.. yes.. we will purchase if someone is willing to sell. Okay?



*looks round and catches Cal watching her sceptically*

*smiles to him... but he seems suspicious*


Liquid.. Help!!... He thinks I am crazy!! </>

Why should he think that? Why is it so important that he keeps you here on this island? Why is he trying to make love to you and that woman Shani on the ship? Can a man have loyality to two women at once?

*The body of the captain floats in the shallow water further down the beach from the village, hidden slightly under the shade of some palms. He is buffeted onto the shore by the now slightly gentler waves and lays there unconcious for now*
