The sky was crystal blue, the sun was harsh but the light breeze from the boats swift movement made the rays bearable. The Great Boat buzzed with anticipation and nerves; the deck held the low rumble of awkward introduction and small talk, the occasional courteous laugh or nervous chuckle, the shaken children that have never been away from home hold their phones tightly to their ear and speak to their loved ones with a lump in their throat, others just sat silently. Jin sat stiffly in his new uniform. He idly played with a smooth pebble he found nearby, his hands moved with great fluidity and precision but his mind was elsewhere. Even through all the murmurs and groaning machinery, Jin could easily hear Junji approaching, the unapologetic stomp of his boots against the metal deck made a loud hollow noise as he pushed remorselessly through the crowd.<br/><br/>Panting;A sweet raspy laugh followed by a loud shout snapped Jin back into the present "JIIIIIIN!" Junji called between a mix of happy chuckles and gasping breaths. Jin relaxed his posture and stood with arms wide to greet his brother. Junji rushed hard into his brother and knocked the breath out of him.<br/><br/>"I'm so glad to see you! When we got here, I met this guy that came all the way from that big city that the Grandpa would keep talking about! He said that there were lots of strong duelists there and that....." Jin wasn't paying attention, closing his eyes,he squeezed Junji hard. " and I swear she had this swirling tattoo that- Jin? Jin? Okay Jin, this is starting to hurt." Junji tapped his brother's head with a knuckle.<br/><br/>Jin snapped back to reality and gave a false chuckle "Payback for knocking into me so hard,"<br/><br/>Junji stuck his tongue out but quickly turned his attention to someone else. Jin followed his gaze to a pale girl standing at the railing. Before he could look back, Junji had already grabbed his hand and ran towards her. He followed behind quickly and stood side by side behind the girl.<br/>"Hi" Junji said with a huge smile "That monster is amazing" He said in reference to a card she was holding, at least, that's what Jin thought. Junji pulled Jin close to him and whispered " Do you see it? I've never seen one so strong before." Jin wasn't so sure what he was talking about anymore.
