"Safety is boring but if you insist." Dirk takes his time to get you back home safely. On the way there Dirk asks "How are you going to recoup your losses?"

I lead dirk to a Pub to get him some drink and food. The town seems to be organized efficiently for the commerce of War. "Oh.....the Merchant Lords of Hybrasil lost those ships. Other Merchant lords had the other ships. I imagine they will demand a good trade concession to rebuild the navy."

Dirk laughs and almost seems to purr at the same time. "I am glad to hear that those were not personal losses." He partakes of both food and drink. If you look close enough you can see a hint of spiked leather around his neck. "So how much do I owe you for this repast?"

"You don't. Its the least I could do. I wouldn't feel like fighting Sharks and trying to swim back."

"So where to from here? I don't mind working with you if you want? Anything I can do to help is fine with me. Anything at all." Dirk eats enough for a royal Amberite and a half.

He laughs a bit. "Well.... Its just a civil war of the nobility here. Its been a few hundred years. The old religion of the Druids coming back.....to fight the fight against the church of the new god. Simple enough thing. I've about cut off enough of the Churches forces to seige their holy of holies."

"Cutting off their holy of holies sounds wrong. I am glad the tides are going your way." Dirk finishes eating. "I hope we meet again."

"Well....where did the Oceans bring you in from? I once long ago had a storm wash some one claiming to be a Lady of Amber upon my shore."

One of my ancestors hailed from a place called Amber but I am not sure if we are talking about the same place. My ancestor was a sailor and traveled far and wide. I don't claim the land as home though.

Brian nods "I was originally from Virginia and my father was a naval officer."

My father was a pirate and a criminal but he's gone and I don't dwell on what can't be helped. It seems you had a more honorable up bringing than I.

Dirk nods sagely. "Does that happen a lot?" He keeps drinking. "I hope you didn't land on your head."

"Well there are legends of it here....and legends of it on Earth. And I fell on my back." I grin a bit.
" But a lot of the history here is something we have to reconstruct."

"Reconstruct it in your own image and your desires. That's my way of looking at." Dirk drinks a bit more and looks around cautiously.
