Re: Sailing East
Loukas had considered continuing his debate with Jean and A'kos, but after events of the past several months he seems to have learned when to shut up. Or maybe it was just Miroslav's toast? He joined the others in the toast and then departed to prepare for what sounds like a long journey. He meets with Zmija and the Temple priests not only for tutelage, but to ensure that while he is away his responsibilities are being covered and the monastery and temple shall be taken care of while he is away.
The morning of their departure Loukas arrives at the Heart of Oak not long after A'kos. He is packed somewhat lighter (no shield and it no armor over a wool rubakha and knee-length svita), but otherwise he has his backpack and bedroll and blades just as he had had when they departed for Kiev for their prior adventure. He could not help but feel the excitement that the open seas offered them and it was with a big grin that he saw so many of his old friends and with a shout he boards, "Greetings, Captain and comrades! These shoulders need the oar and the oar needs my shoulders!"
He goes to the place he has spent so many ventures at and stows his gear before going from Barmak to the Varangian and Oleg to give them each great hugs.
