68th, 11th Bell, 48th chime.
Kreig was standing at the docks again, from the pier he stared at the clear blue waters of the Suvan “Petch, its so bloody blue and calm” Again he couldn’t help but make another comparison the so called docks of Sunberth ‘Barely could be called one’ He thought, short version was that here is clean and stable while the Sunberth pier you’d need to risk not breaking a plank and plummeting to a watery grave…unless you can swim, then you’re safe ‘Petch, I need to learn how to swim’ Which brings the reason why he was here, he wanted to ask a favor of Edreina; The Svefra woman whom he unintentionally violated the sanctity of her home when Razkar had told him to board it to have their sparring session there rather than at the pits.
Thankfully she accepted his apology and they were more or less on friendly terms and have spoken to each other from time to time. Today he hoped to ask her to teach him something; obviously that something happens to be swimming. Kreig was somewhat a practical man, he knew that at some point his duties, whether as a squire or future knight, would involve him boarding a ship…. So he wanted to make sure that if he ever fell overboard he’d at least have a chance of survival before having his lungs filled with salt and water THEN die a watery death.
Unfortunately the Svefra’s Casinor didn’t seem to be here at the time so Kreig took to standing about like a maiden waiting for her long lost love to return from war, only to die of a broken heart, except he didn’t have a long lost love and he certainly wouldn’t wait long enough to die of something like that. So there he was, in his black shirt and white breaches, standing around and looking at the sea with only a wide brim hat to hide his head from the sun.
