With a tired sigh, I turn away from the railing and return below decks, headed for the crew quarters. When they loaded us on board, they packed me and the others into two tiny rooms, easily watched over by both honourguards and foreigner pirates alike. It had the unintended effect of splitting that mare and the other two stallions away from me and Zelac, giving us a degree of privacy I hadn’t expected, but wholly enjoyed. Or rather, took advantage of.
