'I agree, it was cramped on the ship, sharing meals in such a tight space was a bit difficult, but this is much better, there is room to move, and the food is much better' and she did indeed think so after taking a bite. So much better than the ship's fare. 'I see you know our language, I am honored you speak to me in my tongue. My common is passable, but my accent makes some of the words hard to understand' and she took another bite.<br/><br/>'It was a relief and a joy to find the shore. My feet had longed to touch the earth again, and to see trees. I am not meant to be caged like that, no one should be. While I enjoy the water, I missed the forest and the feel of the earth tremendously. As it is, I am a bit tired. I think, like you, the toll is there, but hopefully a night of real rest without a cramped space and rolling waves, will make a difference' and as she finished, Justine joined them.<br/><br/>'Well met, I am Ci'ona' she said to Justine.

They had a kindred spirit, that was for sure, but it ran in different ways.<br/><br/>'Join us to eat, Foxy' she said to Missy, her arms tensing up, the primal energy starting to flow through her veins. 'We can discuss adventuring without tumbling and biting in the company of these goodly folk' she said. Her smile was wide, and fangs showed when she did so.
