In the Snow (Daske & Sable)

[Daske Baggywrinkle]

They talked as they sailed back to the cove where the Black Lady waited for them. Then they talked some more as they cooked up two of the seal steaks and made themselves eat. They talked well into the night. It was a crash course in everything Svefra; a whole world Daske had known nothing about when he had set out to reclaim his heritage. Much of it came down to simple survival. The people of the sea might be wild and carefree on the surface, but beneath the surface was the communal infrastructure that enabled them to survive as a people. It had its own rules and its own wisdom. Daske would have to make all of this a part of his own life. Early the next morning, while it was still dark and before Sable was awake, Daske raised anchor and glided silently out of the little cove. He had much to think about. He looked back at the Sea Sparkle pulling gently against her anchor line. “Goodby Sable,” he said to the wind as the Black Lady rounded a headland and the Sea Sparkle disappeared from view. “And thank you.” THE END OOC : I will submit the story to Trident. I found this to be an enjoyable and moving story. Thank you for creating it with me.

It will also not hurt, unless pressed up. Sable should also feel watched for a while after the meeting with Daske, and the seas should feel even more welcoming to her whenever she steps into it. Comments: All I have to say is wow, guys. This thread was quite the adventure, if no so much physically as it was mentally. I enjoyed reading about Sable and Daske's personality, seeing what made them tick and how their histories influenced how they acted. It was an fun read, I hope to see more quality work from the both of you. Please note, the lores that have commas in them can be read as separate lores, but they are grouped together for convenience. If you have any questions about my ruling, feel free to PM me!
