"An island...hmm...you don't say..." was Thyiri's noncommital response, but she leaned on the railing and grinned. "I say, how long d'you think until they send someone after us?" she queried, peering back at the land.

"Well, I suppose that all depends on exactly how many ships the Usurpers actually have now, how long it takes them to discover what happened at the pier, and how long before they send a ship after us." Raven responded, without looking up from her work. "So, I'd give them roughly a day, maybe two."

"Hmmm." Thyiri glanced behind her and turned, looking Dalen up and down. "My, you were in a hurry," she commented, leaning her elbows on the railing.

Tynel listened to their conversation silently, hoping that his vision would return soon. When Thyiri spoke he roconized her voice and stood up, paying no heed to his injuries.

"Wait a minute, your-your that girl form the c-camp!" He stuttered as his body fought to maintain conciousness.

"What are yo-you doing he-re?" he asked, then tried to step forward, but half because of blood loss, half because of blindness, his legs decided it was too much, and he fell back down to his seat.

((very sorry if I spell anything wrong..I'm not a very good speller....))

"Easy.." Raven murmured, still trying to stem the flow of blood. "Don't move..you'll make it worse."

Ty sighed. He hated injuries with a passion. He sat still for a while and his vision started to return. What little of it did anyway.

"I think my vision is clearing, well, a little anyway." He looked at raven. "I can see you. I can see the sun quite clearly. But oddly as it may seem I can't see the bow of the boat."

"Well, at least you can see at all." Raven said, binding up his wound tightly. "There..that should do."

"Who wouldn't be in a hurry to get off of an enemy island?" Dalen retorted, bending over and resting his hands on his knees to catch his breath. A shipful of strangers with a common purpose, he thought wryly, giving a short laugh. Standing upright again, he slipped his axe into its loop on his belt and walked over towards the red-haired girl tending to the man he had seen earlier. "Do you need help tending to him, lady?" he asked.

Don't forget - Luinnar's character is aboard ship, too.

"No, I think he'll be fine now, but thank you for the offer, regardless." Raven said, straightening and still relying on the railing to keep her upright. Hardheaded as she was, she was not going to admit to her own injuries, deigning to deal with them later, once things quieted down.

"Very well," Dalen said, thinking there was something odd, almost stiff, about the way the girl was walking, but not quite sure what it was. The drummers in his head made sure he couldn't concentrate too hard on any one thing. I hate headaches, he thought to himself with a sigh.
"I assume you all have names," he said to the whole group. "I am Dalen Felssain, an Exile, and until last night, a crewman on the Sea Dragon.

Yeah....we're all on deck, now, but Tynel (Star_Gazer's character) was wounded, and is now drifting in and out of consciousness or something. And I just asked everyone their names.

The woman from earlier, who hadn't given her name at the start, speaks up. "I'm Mira Andarlin, former Usurper, future Exile......"

Raven, wishing she didn't have to introduce yourself, did so anyway. "I'm known as Raven, Exile by circumstance..and possibly by heritage."

Dalen's hand jerked unconsciously towards his axe when he heard the woman mention that she had been an Usurper. "Your pardon, Mistress Andarlin," he muttered. "I have rather strong feelings about Usurpers."
He turned towards the red-haired girl again. "It is good to meet you, Mistress....Raven."

Hey Luinnar, I sent you a PM, just in case you hadn't noticed yet.

Raven...in your Wheel of Time Fanclub...can you add me to the members, please?

Mira smirks. "I said former, didn't I?..... I am the daughter of an enslaved Exile, as I explained once before, to the others....... It was not by choice, I assure you......" Her ice-blue eyes bore into the side of Dalen's head, almost willing him to challenge her stare........
