The morning was almost unbearably foggy and frigid. The fog was so dense that it blotted out the sun, making everything seem very grey and dreary. The Betelgeuse sailed through the water despite the poor visibility with an experienced navigator at the helm, Lieutenant Kurt. They’d gotten through the worst of it now. The rocks surrounding Tequila Wolf were behind them. Hopefully, they’d break through the fog and have clear sailing the rest of the way to Loguetown. Lieutenant Kurt looked down at Seaman Recruit Reynard Ayoki who had been manning the sails along with some other seamen.
“Recruit Ayoki. Report to the Captain’s cabin. He wants to see you.”
Kurt suppressed a sigh and rolled his eyes. Why Vaun wanted to see the kid was a mystery to him, but if he had to guess, it was going to be something ridiculous. He shuddered, thinking of the many times Kurt had been called to the Captain’s quarters only to help him decide on a gift for his wife or what color of flower he thought ladies preferred. Kurt had more knowledge of the meaning of various flowers than he ever cared to know.
Sitting down at his desk, Vaun perused various papers on his desk. On one side was the official file for Reynard Ayoki. A dashing young man with a very good service record. On the other side, and what captured Vaun’s interest at this particular moment was a document that was requesting a transfer. This was a receipt of his original request that denoted that he should expect the new transfer in Loguetown. He’d arranged for Rosalyn to act as Captain in his stead at Tequila Wolf. He didn’t figure anything would happen while he and Kurt were away, but Rosalyn was more than capable. In fact, her experience was probably on part with Kurt’s own… Kurt hadn’t sought much more advancement though.
“Hm…”
Did Rosalyn? From what he’d heard from her father, she used to keep to her lab all of the time, but she’d been a very proactive and assertive asset to the 22nd Division in her short time with them. She’d been training the recruits, doing all the briefings, and such while Vaun was preoccupied with other matters. He wouldn’t mind making her more official. He’d have to ask her when he had the chance. For now, he was expecting someone else for more… personal matters. A knock at the door alerted him. Oh! That must be the boy now.
“Come in!”
