"If I stay it may improve your chances of getting away. You're not here and I was never under house arrest. I'll just be a pain in the ass to Flora by existing."
Dio gets a hug a very tight hug.

"I will miss you. Please return to us quick. I'll wait for you."

"Follow us as soon as you can. Hide our things away." Maeve says. "Keep safe."
"Dio I will start to shift shadow as soon as I can. We will swim North at long the coast and then take the shadow path."
She climbs down to the water at the ship side away from the pier into the water, pulls out her tunics and throws it back on board waiting for Dio to join her before turning into a porpoise.

Dio gives Dirk one more quick kiss and hug. She then drops her dress from her body and climbs over the side of the ship as well. Hanging on the side watching Maeve to lead before she follows

The Maeve porpoise takes a good load of air then dives and swims under water out of the harbor making sure that the Dio porpoise stays at her side and does no get lost.
Out of the harbor it is up to the north.

It is going to be slow going if Dio has never tried shifting into this animal before.

Many of Dirk's crew come back to the ship in ones or twos. Others haven't heard the call or are content to stay in Amber or are dead.

Dirk works on getting the ship ready, only the most essential work is being done sine they aren't carrying cargo.
He also has the word put out that a trip out of Amber is available for anyone who wants to see sunnier climes.

It is going to be slow going if Dio has never tried shifting into this animal before. Since it's night and they will be mostly under the surface it doesn't haave to be a perfect dolphin. Especially since dolphins still breath air. So improved lung capacity. And else she'll shift a bit and holds on on Maeve

Either way, it will still involve a learning process.

#s://i~ibb~co/28Y9wNs/Calvera~jpg Dirk's word gets out, and many tars looking to return to sea appear on the dock. Almost all of them would be useless, but there are a few good ones and enough okay ones that he can make the whole crew. When he is almost ready, Calvera saunters up the dock and leans over to look in the ship. "You really want to head out this soon? And after your just getting back yesterday? You'll miss the horse racing next week. Most people take a walk through Arden before ending their vacation. Go see the trees and moss."

Either way, it will still involve a learning process. Then slow and steady they move forward. As long as they keep moving towards the secret shadowpassage Maeve had remembered from the map. Dio follows Maeve's instructions to the point.

"Dear Cousin, right now I am focusing on repairing the damage done to my ship. My travel plans are yet to be determined. I am planning on keeping my ship crewed since security and safety on the docks do seem to be lacking. Although of course you aren't responsible for that I am sure."

#s://i~ibb~co/28Y9wNs/Calvera~jpg "Patroling the docks isn't the navy's job. I agree with you that it should be, but it isn't. It would be best if you learned to keep a guard on your ship.
"Cigar?" he offers an open pack of cheroots, one cigar further out from the rest.
