Arc 716th
122th Trial of Vhalar
But he remembered his encounter with Tirta, the sloop known as Sweet Tooth. Even now, as Eir gradually rises from out of the bedroll, he still remembers very little. It was probably for the best. No doubt, he might have spoken big promises while sharing some alcohol with Tirta, to seal the deal and become a crew member under the captain of the sloop. The most he could do was sigh, pray, and assume Tirta barely remembers a word. Up and attentive, his hair out of order, let loose to avoid tangling about in his tossing and turning. It was time to set sail and leave Scalvoris, on an adventure to see new faces and new people. Perhaps later, Scalvoris would be visited.
The fur coat is wrapped upon his shoulders, the thick leather hugging against his skin to provide some level of protection. The heirloom long sword is picked up from the cabin wall, nimble hands fastening the sheathe against his right hip. The last, but most important, was his hair. Eir didn't need to look to grapple with a strand of hair on the side and braid it, sliding the silver ringlet to fix his hair. Another decorative ringlet is applied to the second braid on the right side of his head, weaving it in, complete the look. The rest of the hair is merely touched with his flat palm before, at long last, Eir makes his way to the deck of the sloop.
"Okay, Captain Tirta!" Eir shouts, to let her know that the mercenary was up. Hopefully, she was a semi-early riser,"I'm good and ready to set sail! Just let me know what I need to do, I've never done sailing before!" Eir wasn't the seafaring type, but that did not mean he couldn't learn. Curiously walking the deck, glancing around as he makes his way towards the mast, Eir gently places his right hand onto the rope. He tilts his head back, un-nerved by the mere sight of just one mast, now that he was able to freely walk the deck instead of being vigilant for trouble. The trip out of Scalvoris seemed like such a daunting task, the more he stared at the main sail. Tirta had assured him she did this by herself, the very thought alone stirred his competitive spirit.
"Tirta sailed this by herself... I could probably do it too, if I knew how. to do it..."
Eir mumbles to himself, grumbling at the thought of somehow becoming a one man sloop pilot.
