Dylan raised an eyebrow, but decided not to press the topic. He summoned a chair and sat down, suddenly bored.

(And because he's bored, we may wanna time skip. Unless you guys wanna say something else…)

– The Next Day –

Avery stood on the deck of the boat, looking out over the calm, peaceful water. Yesterday had been weird, but she tried not to think about it. She kept her eyes trained on the horizon, searching for the dark strip of land that was soon to appear. Her patience was rewarded after about an hour of simply standing and watching, and she smiled when she finally spotted it.

"Hey, guys! We've got land ahead!" she shouted over her shoulder.

Dylan yawned, leaning back in his control seat. Just ahead of him, Avery shouted, but there was too much metal and shadow-glass between them for him to hear her, so he stuck a hand to his ear in a repeat that? manner.

Avery rolled her eyes and gestured to the growing line on the horizon.

"LAND!" she shouted, grinning.

Dylan got up and went outside. Seeing the land made him happier than ever, the rocking of the boat was beginning to get to him.

As he approached, he smiled, "Fine day to be hitting shore," he said merrily.

"I'm just glad I won't have to worry about getting seasick anymore," Avery declared as she looked back over the water, her grin still lifting the corners of her lips.

"You seem to be doing pretty well right now anyway," Dylan said, noting Avery's grin, "Getting used to it? "

Avery nodded, her eyes still trained on the horizon. "Yeah. I took some more of that medicine this morning, and that seems to have helped a lot."

(I expected Opia to comment. Sorry for the delay.)

"Thst's good. if it's keeping you on your feet, that's good. Now we just need to keep us all awake for the ride there. So much ground to cover…'

(Ah sorry, thought you two were having a moment lol)

Vaughn vaguely heard shouting from his cabin and he pushed off his bed, rubbing at his eyes. He hadn’t slept well, too much running through his mind. He stepped out of his cabin and went above deck, trudging over to Avery and Dylan. “Land, huh?”

(Lol. I kinda did, too.
Yeah, just an excited Avery. She's kinda bottling her feelings away right now. "Leader mode" has kicked in.)

"Yeah, finally!" Avery exclaimed, glancing at Vaughn as he came up, then back at the dark, growing line on the horizon. "I'm pretty sure I'll be able to stay awake the rest of the way there, Dylan. Adrenaline, ya know?"

Dylan nodded, then turned to Vaughn, "Did we wake you up? I didn't even realize you were asleep."

Vaughn shook his head slowly, running a hand through his hair. “I was already awake for a while, you didn’t disturb anything.”

Avery finally turned away from staring out across the water. "You guys hungry? 'Cause I am. I'm gonna make something to eat if either of you wants to join me," she declared, making her way below deck.

Dylan waved the offer, not hungry at the present moment in time. Instead, he guided the ship toward a fairly well hidden stretch of land. It would be kind of weird if a pitch black boat found its way to harbor, wouldn't it?

He thought about what he might find in Botswana. A fight, for sure, but what else?His father? His brother? More crazy heroes?

His sanity?

Haha, Shadow. You wish. He chuclked to himself as he gave the ship a nudge to starboard.

Avery shrugged.

"Vaughn? You want anything?" she asked.

Vaughn shook his head slowly. “No, I’m alright, thank you,” He said in a level tone, hands slipping into the pockets of his suit jacket.

"Okay, then I'll be back up later," Avery said, leaving the two guys alone as she went below deck.

(I feel like our characters have, like, the most awkward relationship ever. I mean, seriously. Avery's the youngest, the only girl, the leader, and she likes Dylan. Dylan seems completely oblivious to Avery's feelings and is just, like, really chill. And Vaughn seems like he doesn't even want to be there…)

(Not that any of those are bad, it's just interesting.)
