Several of the crossbowmen shoot odd glances at them. One crosses himself.
Mark glares at said crossbowman and says something in a strange language. The men shut up and back off as he gestures to the row boats.
"Climb aboard and we shall be off."
English
-
[i]Lola notices but doesn't say anything clearly this hasn't her first being stared at. Talath doesn't really care at all.[/i]
-
Mark climbs into the boat with John and about a third of the crossbowmen. They push off from the beach and begin to row towards one of the large galeases.
-
[i]They stood on the ship unsure what to do now. Lola just looked around. Talath did the same he knew this was going to be fun.[/i]
-
It took roughly five minutes to pull up alongside the galease. The one thing that seems odd about it is instead of oars, the ship sports two great paddle wheels. "Welcome aboard, friends, to the Conquistador." Mark tells them as a rope ladder is dropped to their boat.
-
"Oh wow its so big"says Talath "Yes it is"says Lola [i]Lola climbs up first then Talath does shortly after her.[/i]
-
Mark follows as the other secure the boat with ropes and haul it aboard with pullies. "I do hope niether of you are prone to sea sickness." Mark says, half jokingly.
-
"No i dont get seasick"says Lola "Me either"says Talath
-
"Excellent. Unfortunately, there is only one empty cabin. Would sharing a room be acceptable for you? If not I would gladly give my own cabin and sleep on deck." Mark offered.
-
"It's fine we don't mind sharing"says Lola "Yeah would not want you to sleep on the deck"says Talath
-
"I truly do not mind. The sky is clear and the weather is warm, thus it would not be unpleasant." He replied, smiling.
-
"Are you sure though?"says Lola [i]Lola didn't really what to kick him out of his room like that if she didn't have too.[/i]
-
"I am sure, maddame. Besides, the stars shall be far more interesting to watch than an old wooden roof, no?"
-
"Yeah i guess your right"says Lola
-
"Would you two wish for a tour? If so I shall show you around."
-
"Sure sounds like fun"says Lola "Yeah it does "says Talath
-
"Right this way." Mark lead them across the deck, gesturing to the front "tower." "This is the forcastle. And the back of the ship is the poop deck. The cabins are inside of each, with the engine in the middle below the smoke stack." He pointed to the large smoke stack.
-
"So cool much more different than what i normally travel"says Lola "Yeah definitely is but its still pretty impressive"says Talath [i]They both looked around as he showed them around the ship.[/i]
-
"The ship is mostly steam powered, though as you can see we have sails as well. We have enough coal to get back to the city though."
-
"Hmm i still think its pretty cool"says Lola "Yeah no matter what its powered by"says Talath
-
Mark chuckled. "Steam may be less powerful than gasoline, but it is far more plentiful."
-
"Gas is more unstable too"says Lola "But it makes fun explosions"says Talath
-
"Aye, though it is a rare item indeed." He gestured towards the forcastle. "Your cabins are in there, the first two on the left if you want them."
-
"Oh okay then thanks for the tour of the place"says Talath
-
"You are much welcome. Now then..." He turned to one of the sailors. "Are all prepared for the voyage?" "Aye, milord. We be off in a jiffy." Replied the sailor. As if on que, smoke began to pour from the smokestack and the great paddle wheels began to turn, propelling the ship forward.
-
[i]They both watched the ship come to life as they watched smoke pour from the chimney.[/i]
