The World of Rhune

Zayde felt awkward as the two bantered awkwardly. When Will offered to take him on a tour, it seemed the other three (including himself) let out audible sighs. He quickly followed Will down the shaft into the belly of the boat, but there wasn’t much there. His gaze touched everything in the room as Will pointed out the things to him, and even joked about the head. It was so corny it made Zay grin and shake his head. He could see the bunks and the small hall leading to other chambers. He assumed Hannah’s quarters were somewhere down the passage. The slightly loud clanging of washing pots came from a closed door, and he couldn’t tell whether the other sound was humming or annoyed grunting. Both Zayde and Will whipped around when they heard someone clank down the ladder and walk towards them. Hannah stopped and he looked away as Hannah and Will flirted again. He glanced at the boards of the wall, but the planks started shifting slightly. His stomach started flipping, but not too painfully. Hannah turned her attention from Will, a feat he’d started to doubt she was capable of, and asked if he wanted to slip back into the castle. Zay kept his face in a casual face despite how Hannah started to look like she was made of pudding. “Yeah, I’m getting kind of tired, I’m weird like that. When you’re ready. Nice meeting you though, Will,” he smiled, happy that he could get out of company soon enough without puking infront of them. Zayde stuck out a hand, still smiling, hoping Hannah would choose sooner than later to leave the ship.
