no novels or anything i dont want to pry i just gotta know
nonfighters are ok too
but if we run into something out there i just want to know how many people are actually able

I'm sorry I'm reaching out to you late, I hope there are still spots open! I'd really love to go because I've never been on a ship before, and I've always wanted to explore the ocean.

I do want to be honest with you though. I can fight, but I really don't want to. I'm okay if we need to fight animals or things like that and I can defend myself or others, but I can't fight against any people. And I don't think it's a good idea for me to be around lots of fighting.

With that in mind, is it still okay if I go? No hard feelings at all if you'd rather not bring someone who might not be able to help.

[it takes him a little while to read it all and comprehend it, but he'll eventually respond to Sorey.]

yeah we have more than enough room
also im hoping we dont have to fight any people either
if its anything like whats been going on here it seems like monsters and magic are more threatening than people
thats why i told leo we dont want to look scary in case we find other people that might be stranded here
i dont wanna look like a warship or anything
just want to go to explore
not everyone even needs to be able to fight but id just like to know in case we do run into trouble thats all

so yeah you can still go :)

That's great! Sorry for all of that. I just wanted to make myself clear. I don't want to put anyone in danger.

Would you need me to do anything to prepare?

[judoflipped]

youre okay i understand
i think were good for now but you could always help get supplies together for a few days on the ship closer to time

[monolike]

Not a problem, I can do that. I can help do some of the labor for the ship building also, if Leo needs a hand. I'm not exactly a tradesman but I've done craftwork before, and I can at least move lumber around.

[judoflipped]

yeah totally you can see if he wants the help
hes a little picky but im sure he could find something for you to do if youre stubborn enough about it

[monolike]

I wouldn't want to put him out, but I'll see. I'll go in with confidence! If he says no, then he says no.

Do you know if there's a timeline we should prepare for, or just whenever it's done? Not that I have a full schedule or anything, but I wouldn't want to make plans. I'm really excited for this.

[judoflipped]

i understand theres a lot of ppl who are looking to know
leo seems to think hell be done by april but ill give a more specific date when i see how much he gets done in a month

[monolike]

Okey dokey, understood. I'll definitely check in to see if he'd like any help. Do you know if there's a way I can reach him directly with these things?

[judoflipped]

he runs the new shop called hot and heavy its on the river hes pretty much always there

[monolike]

Got it!

Thanks so much Percy, for the invitation and the information. I'll do my best to be a help for the voyage!
