Down at the Docks (Nai'shee/Lyam)

Tock listened with interest as the girl described her island adventure. It sounded intriguing. Even a bit appealing. But in the end, she knew it wasn't for her.

She gave a reluctant shake if her head. "Nah, Conch," she replied, scratching the back of her head, "don't think I could. Jus' done got settled 'ere, I did. Gots too much studyin' at the Uni, gonna need a few years at 'at, I is. Too much I done needs ta learn 'ere what I can't learn off on some island, aye?" She shrugged. Free land and free reign to do as she pleased was certainly appealing, but she hadn't learned enough yet to be anywhere near ready for that. She had classes to take, babies to build, and magic to learn still.

"Appreciate the offer though," she said with a smile, patting the girl on the shoulder. "An' tell ya what, anythin' ya done needs fer yer trip, jus' get me the parts an' I's be glad what fer ta build 'er fer ya, aye?"

Nai seemed like a sweet girl, and she would be glad to lend her a hand, even if she wouldn't be joining her on her trip.

Her face dropped as she listened to Tock's reply. She really thought she'll accept it. And, to add more to it, Nai'shee felt the same way. She didn't have some long term plans, but Zeltiva was her only home and she didn't feel good about leaving it, but she knew she'll have to do so someday if she really plans on becoming a sailor. It didn't make it any easier, tho. She gave her a smile in response, sad, but understanding smile.

"Oh... that would be great. I just have no idea what I might need. It would be awesome if I had something to assist me in building, since I'm not really experienced, since this is my only experience, but it might be hard for me to use it." She shrugged. She didn't want to ask for too much now, since boat was top priority and she knew Tock will need time to concentrate on it. She can handle the rest somehow, she won't be alone after all.

"And thanks for today", she said, before she even got to wonder what is she thanking for. Experience? Giving her opportunity? "And for the boat, of course."

OOCYou can go and finish thread in next post. How much is my wage?XD

"Aye, nothin' to it, Conch," Tock said, giving the girl a hug. "Was nice workin' wit'cha. Jus' too bad ya ain't stickin' 'round, aye? Could use more like ya 'round 'ere."

She made sure to give the girl her address before they parted ways, wanting to make sure they could get back in touch again. Working on animating a boat sounded mighty appealing.

Once everything was packed up and everyone went home for the day, she made sure to retrieve the bird's nest she had rescued. She carried it up to the University and searched around until she found a professor of fauna who was willing and able to tend to the birds until they hatched. She didn't want them to end up someone's breakfast, after all.

OOCI don't know how much the wage for the day would be since it's coming from the npc Bossman. So what I'm gonna do is add a note in the grading submission asking the grader to award you an appropriate wage for one day's labor. And just send me a PM with skill requests

Nai'shee's Loot :

Yeey, good thread, guys! These two characters seem to mesh well with eachother. I especially liked the scene where Tock turns down Nai'shee's preposition... it seemed like spontaenous writing between the two of you and was well done. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me!
