If people didn't know that, would that be a smart thing to tell others? wondered Rin, but perhaps they were common where Maahes came from. But she merely smiled and said, "Interesting. How does one use a Chappa'ai?"
"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
Kellach walked onto the deck of the ship in slow, cautious steps, and panicked when he saw the shore. The land wasn't like anything he had seen before, much less where he wanted to be. He could have sworn that this had been the right ship to hide in, but the odd colors and strange people on the seashore told him otherwise. Thinking quickly, he decided to jump off the ship and see if he could slip past the group. Maybe then he could find the nearest town and ask where he was.
He took one cautious look back, turned around, and leaped off the side of the ship. Landing on his face, he spat out the sand and tried to brush it off his clothes (to little effect) before making a wide arc around the group. Kellach hoped he wouldn't be noticed.
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse a persona che mai tornasse al mondo, questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero, senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.
Whoops. Should have seen that coming. Kellach smiled and waved awkwardly in response, keeping his distance as he began walking towards what he believed to be a town in the distance.

She shakes her head. "Nah. Where'd ya come from?" she asks.
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
"Nowhere really special," said Kellach, walking a bit faster.

"Uh-uh, ya ain't goin' nowhere, kid," Jay says, coming up in front of him to block his path. "Where ya come from?"
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
"Like I said, nowhere special," Kellach replied, sidestepping who he guessed, by her commanding appearance, was the captain of the ship. He hated being called a kid.

"Yer walkin' away from my ship," she points out. "But ya ain't part of my crew."
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
Kellach used his most faux innocent voice. "Is that a problem?" he asked.

"Well, ya ain't a passenger we took, and ya ain't crew, which means yer a stowaway, hm?"
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost."
The captain was surprisingly good at figuring him out. He was in a dilemma, as he doubted he could persuade her to let him stay on the ship. There also wasn't any chance he was going to get back on the ship; she'd find him and haul him out no matter where he hid in there. That left only one option. Kellach gulped, and then sprinted in the direction of the town.
