Aureslia spent the next couple days admiring the scenery along the shore that the ship passed along during the journey.  Though she wished she could actually explore some of those forrests, remembering what it felt like to be in the woodlands before she escaped up here.  Though during the trip she could still feel the eyes of the sailors on her, but she never once again caught them openly staring or jeering or any of that.  Something Atashi must have said must have gotten them on better behavior... though from the looks of it, she was getting more of the attention.<br/><br/>That didn't matter, at least the majority of the attention was not on her anymore, thus she could fully focus on her sparing practice.  She got better at deflecting Atashi's heavy blows so that they did not hurt her arms or exhaust her so quickly.  She got better at delivering her own quick and precise strikes to where armor would be weakest, and avoiding Atashi's blade so she didn't have to block.  She had a feeling it would help a lot in the coming days.<br/><br/>By the time the captain called for the Anchor, Aure had a small travel pack ready for a longer exploration trip if it happened.  You never knew, so she had some extra rations, water skin, a sharpening stone, and a tin of flint and tinder.  Outside the small pack she had a bed roll for just in case.  She was wearing all her leather armor again with the dagger stored in her boot, and both blades on her hip, both sharpened again.  All that was covered with a light cloak from the ship’s stores to protect against the rain.  She followed Atashi to the shore boat.<br/><br/><span style="color: Magenta">“if you decide to leave us after we find the treasure, I'll find you and kill you.  I'm not as worried about any monster we me as I am of you just leaving us stranded, 'captain'”</span>Aure said before she deposited her travel pack into the boat.  She just voiced another reason she had packed those supplies from the ship's stores.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
