"Or maybe I could throw you overboard and see if they stop." said Lilan. There was an awkward silence for a moment, then she shrugged.<br/><br/>"You're probably right. Maybe they got a new Dragon-Blood overseeing this area, who doesn't get yet that you leave some things alone. And we just had the shit luck to be in his way." she said, before shaking her head. "All right, let's try something else."<br/><br/>With one muscled arm, the captain pointed ahead to a patch of sea that looked.....off.

Cut through there, and we can be out before the sun sets. We'll be fast enough to outrun anything nasty in there...but all the same, get ready to fight."
