Haslo sat on the top deck next to Hoss hiding under a shade. He was glad he'd survived the attack and that the ship didn't sink.

Pelleas flinched a bit as Raz used her magic, then extended her hand.
He was slow to take it. He didn’t want to be rude, though.
“Pelleas,” he said.

"We´ll be arriving to a port soon, remember, we are going to act like a merchant ship, we´ll stay a few nights in case anyone needs supplies, if that´s the case go with Vekan and tell him what you need" and with that she put on her cloak, covering every single part of her body and went to her cabin before it was dawn

Raz let out a sigh of relief when they announced that they were in the safe zone. "That's a nice name." She said smiling. "Now if you excuse me I must get rid of this red water." She joked as she went above deck to throw the blood off the ship.

"Oi! Where the uruka is Vadreya?" the woman with white hair barked as she made her way to the captain, "Helping the injured, Menita…" that wasn´t a good answer for her, "Well, tell the moonie to clean the mess he leaved because I ain´t working around a place filled with blood!" she had a bad temper, is was obvious, "Maybe you should do tell him yourself… he´s right there" the captain pointed at Vadreya and continued to walk away, next thing everyone knew was that a small lady was screaming at the poor elven man

Raz glanced warily at the woman yelling at the crew members. "Geez! I wonder what her problem is." She thought as she disposed of the blood over the side of the ship.

(This is the point I step in and act like one of those choices videogames give you and we´ll pretend this is sort of like a check point… weird metaphor, I know…)
Most people were relieved, some still scared, but the danger was gone for the moment, the captain had already explained to everyone on the ship the rest of the plan, they´ll soon be arriving at a port in Noraske to get supplies for the journey, everyone who needed some could go and talk to Vekan. For the meanwhile, everyone is free to do whatever they want, wheter it be talking, helping, eating, sleeping, socializing or whatever their hearts desire.
(In other words, you can do whatever you want and yes, you are allowed to go as craz as you want and I should probably mention that you can interact with everyone and everything… and also ask questions, on character or not, all questions will be answered.)

Pelleas went up to the deck and leaned over the side to wait for the feeling of sickness to pass. The danger was gone, at least for the moment, so he had time to breathe. Perhaps he should get to know some of the other passengers. It never hurt to have a lot of connections, especially when they were both metaphorically and literally in the same boat.

(And quick worldbuilding thing:)
Galara: elven mother godess.
Saint Eira: one of the saints that some noifeiras believe in, also know as Saint Eira the Inquisitor.
Oracle: a woman who is the reincarnation of the child of two deities, sometimes one, other times a concept, the oracle is always worshiped like a godess by all nations.
Seer: unknow reincarnation of another deity, similar to the oracle, here´s the seer who is alive at the time this takes place Invalid Character

Back on Arcata, in the middle of halways made out of stone with intricate carvings, a blond man dressed in red robes walked alone, soon to be joined by a dark skinned woman with a yellow dress, her hair curly and tied into a bun, "Any news from the ship we sent to Alban?" he inquired, "Not yet, they should be on their way back to Arcata by this point…" he answered, looking at some papers, probably letters, "Good…"

Haslo got to the top deck and looked around, feeling the ocean breeze with Hoss beside him. He rarely got on a ship though he had no problems with it, no motion sickness or fear of water.

Raz went to go find the person with the bear. She tried to ask him why he would have a bear on the ship in the first place earlier but that's when the fight started. After looking for him for a short bit she went bellow decks. She wasn't sure if she was allowed to be down here but she just wanted to find a small place to curl up. She was exhausted after using magic, especially since she hadn't eaten in awhile. Maybe she'd steal some food from the kitchen.

Luckily for Raz, the cook wasn´t there and he wouldn´t notice anyways, there where barrels filled with fish, bread, apples, carrots, corn, rice, beans and even some bowls with soup, chicken soup with short noodles, those must be on the cabinets and the meat must be somewhere else

Raz walked quietly into the kitchen. She looked around at all the food. She grabbed herself a very small bowl of chicken soup before sitting on the counter to eat it. After she finished it up she put it in the sink and grabbed an apple and part of a loaf of bread. She stuffed them inside her cloak before she walked out of the kitchen.

Nobody noticed as Raz walked out of the kitchen and just in time, the cook arrived at the kitchen just a few minutes after she leaved, he figure someone else took the bowl for one of the injured.

(Random worlbuilding stuff that might come in handy:)
Dwarves and bears: I originally meant "all male dwarves must have a beard" and wrote bear instead, but it isn´t that far from the truth, it´s not a must and females can also do it, bears are important for dwarven culture, they symbolize strengh, family and durability, three important concept for the dwarves so it´s actually common for some dwarves to have bears as their companions.

The elven phanteon: Galara (the mother goddess), Vaardya (the father god), Acaebe (god of the sea), Nauri (godess of the wisdom), Naedrea (god of war), Habeke (god of the underworld), Liere, (godess of childbirth), Joake (god of wind), these are the better known deities, sea and wind are an important part of elven mythology, so it´s wisdom, it all relates with elves being nomad sailors before they found the elven archipielago (were the elven countries are)

(K, Imma work in a document with everything that could be useful for this)
Finally day, the captain was already hiding on her cabin, Vekan was waking around the place fully covered in a cloak, the rest of the crew did their usual job

Haslo enjoyed the sea breeze on the top deck before deciding to get down to a lower deck. He noticed and walked up to Pelleas with his bear on his right side in the hopes of making a friend. "How are ye?" He asked in a low, cracking voice. He extended out his arm and hand up and towards the elf infront of him.

Pelleas turned his head to meet the dwarf’s gaze. He extended his hand, and gave the slightest smile, but the smile only reached his mouth; the rest of his face wasn’t so expressive.
“I’m doing fine. You? Name’s Pelleas Saevel, by the by.”

While the sea breeze was quite cold due to the zone they were in, it was by far better than how it was back in Aldan, they already where on the border between both countries when the ship sailed, usually it would take at least a day to get that far but magic has a way of making ships move faster, in this case, a young water mage.

After a bit, Raz wandered back upstairs, munching on a small piece of the bread she had 'borrowed'. She wandered back over to Pelleas, seeing that he was the only person on the ship she truly knew. "There is some good food in the kitchen." She said as she dusted some crumbs off her robes. Her eyes flicked over to the dwarf. "Who might you be?" She asked as she took another bite.

"I'm quite alright," Pelleas murmured, "In fact, I'm still feeling quite sick from earlier."
He eyed her with a slight uncertainty. He still wasn't sure about Raz- at all.

"Attention please, we'll soon arrive to a port, anyone who needs something please go with Vekan." The white haired lady announced before angrily going back to the inside of the ship

"I'm Haslovic, Haslovic Arthnik" Haslo patted his bear "And this is my bear, Hoss" He didn't seem to be stressed or saddened from the encounter earlier at all, rather lively and energetic. "Nice to meet you Pelleas" He smiled "And you?" Haslo turned towards Raz.
