Well, at least the surgeon was improving.  Damn ropes with all that tension, all the damage they can do... Azure had almost been cleaved in twain by one before her exaltation.  But, he'd recover soon enough, probably before they got to port at the Isle.  And then there was Silk, doing her Silk-y things with magic... was it just her, or was the wind picking up?  Oh,<em>that</em>sign... well that was helpful and nice of her.<br/><br/>"Kubernetes!" she shouted as she moved up towards Cherry, giving her a gentle head-rub as she sat in waiting "You're relieved of your duties steering; I'll take the helm for now, and I believe you have something<em>important</em>to 'do'..."<br/><br/>She winked - again, winking as best she could with only one damn eye - and moved in to put herself between the helm and the Tya, giving her a swat on the rump as she did so.  She wasn't about to take no for an answer on this; the Tya worked hard but she needed to relax and enjoy her carnal reward.  Cherry needed loving too of course, since the other two slaves were getting their carnal dues.  As for Azure's job... well, steering a ship was a long, annoying job... boring... but hey, had to be done.<br/><br/>And so the sailing would commence...
