"Mama wouldn't like that." Yehudit said. "She wouldn't like more sailors either though... It looks like a ship."

"You stay here, I'm going to ask Juniper about a bathing area." Sileas got to her feet and headed for the deck. She noticed Juniper and Yehudit staring at something off in the distance. "What are we looking at?"

"A boat, or a sea monster that looks like a boat." Yehudit said.

Sileas doubted the mermen needed a boat, but just in case. "We should get out of here," she told Juniper.

"Let's pass them. If they reconize the ship they might let us pass. " Juniper turned to the quartermaster and commanded him to leave shallow waters and avoid getting too close to the ship.

"Are they pirates?" Yehudit asked, more excited than worried.

"I'm more worried about mermen or slavers than pirates," Sileas mumbled.

"Aren't pirates slavers too?" Yehudit asked. "I'd like to kill some of those scum!"

"Some are, but most are more interested in treasure and valuables."

"Like slaves." Yehudit said, digging into her pockets for something to stab pirates/slavers with.

"Pirates or not I don't like the look of them. Full sail!" She shouted to the crew men as the ship began to sail away from the island and towards open waters.

"Wonderful. We didn't find a dead body but there's still time for us ter get done dirty or killed." Questa muttered.

Sileas turned on her heel and headed for their quarters to retrieve her bow and quiver. She had left it there believing they were safe.

Juniper was armed presently with her massive greatsword that she wielded with ease. As they began to circumvent the strange ship it started to give chase to the elven ship and its crew. Juniper stood at the wheel and awaited for a confrontation.

It looked that their ship would not be able to outrun this other one. Yehudit clung to her walking stick in one hand, a knife in the other.

By the time they had gotten as close to eachother as they were a Junipers crew had readied the cannons and armed themselves with swords, muskets, and spears. Juniper made eye contact with one of the people on the deck and slapped her left hand on her right bicep and waved her fist at the passing ship, a common insult among sailors. The crew members all laughed and did the same.

Yehudit joyfully joined in on the rude gestures- until she realized that one of those men looked an awful lot like Uncle Shawn. Her jaw dropped.

Sileas followed Yehudit's gaze. "It's Papa! And Wulfsen!"

Yehudit hid behind Sileas, blushing. "I thought they were pirates."

"That's why you wait until they are close enough to be seen."

"Uncle Shawn didn't see me, did he?" Yehudit asked worriedly.

"You know them?" Juniper turned to Sileas and sushed her crew.

Sileas nodded. "One is my Papa, the other is friend, Wulfsen and...Lek is clinging to the crow's nest."

Sileas heard Wulfsen's call and smiled. She cupped her hand around her mouth and hoped she could yell loud enough. "WULFSEN!!!!!

Juniper ordered her man to stand down and prepare for a boarding. Both ships were now close enough for the crew to set planks to cross. The two ships were now sitting still in the crystal blue waters.
