Ready to go to Sea

After several hours in the hold, Nym wandered up in the dark. The sun had already set as she wandered onto the deck. The air was cool in the early evening and a light rain was falling. Crewmen on the deck were still enjoying themselves, laughing and talking. Nym caught snippets of conversation as she slunk past them toward the rigging.

She nimbly climbed the rigging to the fore topmast and sat looking out to sea. A low fog has rolled in from sea, making it look as though the ship was floating on clouds. Nym sighed, enjoying this. Happy voices filtered up to her from the deck, and she listened to this music and smiled. So many happy people...

After some time, the voices grew fainter as more crewmen went below for the night. The rain stopped and the clouds began to dissolve into the night. The moon was large this evening, and Nym enjoyed it's glow. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the smell of the rain, moist wood, and salt in the cool air.

Finally feeling more herself and growing rather tired, Nym climbed back down the the deck and hopped down the stairs to her room. She was suprised to find two oak handled horse brushes placed in front of her door. She picked them up smiling and looked around to see who might have left them. After showing them to Nesme and promising her a good brushing and a run in the morning Nym happily climbed into her hammock, still holding the brushes, and fell asleep.
