As I near the ship, people are gathering for the voyage. Amongst the crowd is a young woman, whose eye I have apparently caught. Why such a young and pretty woman would set her fanciful on me, I do not know. She looks at me as though we have met before, though I do not believe that we have. She smiles and blushes, and I nod my head in return and continue on to board the ship.

Perhaps she saw me at the Inn the night prior. I hope I did nothing to embarrass the young woman or myself for that matter. I hope I have not been so careless as to mistake her for Mari in my drunken hallucinations! I must suppress these thoughts as I have a ship to prepare.

I roust the rest of the crew and begin shouting the necessary orders in preparation for the voyage.
