With Nari and Quick Lopez by his side, Edogawa walked casually through the Merenaese area. He had no destination in mind and seemed mostly lost in thought.

"Why so grim, Senor?" El Rapido inquired having spat out an improvised toothpick with whatever got skewered by it.

"I made a mistake yesterday, a very costly one." he sighed. "My life here is over. All I have is whatever I can find out at sea."

"How's that bad, Senor? The life's here was good, but then it got worse. Time to try something new, don't you think? Back home we could gather a party, get a letter of marque and prowl on the Spice Route, getting filthy rich."

"There was a time I would have been willing to do that without a second thought." he admitted. "But, I've reconciled with my family and found other things I value here I don't like leaving them behind."

"Then take some with you and forsake the rest? It's difficult to have it all in life. You know, drinking up wine and having it for later, impossible."

"Unless you make your own." he added. "Not that I have that option. I'll need to plan for my new life. I may need to find a ship of my own."

"Or in your case build it, Senor." Lopez smirked.

"That will take time and coin, but I do have some ideas." he nodded. "For now, I need to prepare for my new life, including some new clothing. Do you have any suggestions?"

"You mean some real pants and a doublet, Senor? My friend's wife is a good seamstress. She works fast too. We need money around here, so people work fast."

He subtlety slipped a few coins out of a pouch and handed them over. "That would be perfect. Is there anything else you'd recommend?"

"Pistols, a haircut?" Lopez chortled. "You've been at sea, Senor. Recall the discomforts, then make it tenfold in your mind. That should help you prepare."

"I am also concerned about what will happen here." he sighed. "If I do not return, it will fall to another to oversee the Merenaese here. I am not sure who that would be or how they would treat the people."

"Some of us will sail with he fleet, right?" Lopez mused, finding another toothpick. "The others, well, the Tortugas are getting back to graces?"

"Yes. With a flotilla of our size, we will need experienced sailors and laborers." he nodded. "Most of my people are still learning and will not be prepared for some challenges. As for the Tortugas, I hope that is the case. It will make things easier, if we are all working together."

"Have you chatted with Senorita de Quijano, Senor?" Lopez looked at Edogawa curiously.

"The name does not sound familiar." he shook his head.

"The smart redhead, new in town. I gather she's a big lady back home, of the Quijanos from La Cuenca. The kingdom's granary as they call it." Lopez grinned. "I ploughed a girl from there once. Damn how good she was. Kharsis forgive me, I'd have kept her if the Merciless Sea hadn't called."

"I think I know who you mean. She introduced herself as Muhaki Berena." Edogawa chuckled. "She expressed concern over the The treat me t of the Merenaese here. I suggested she speak with them herself and offer what help she could."

"And she did. She came here to help out. In a bit of a bossy, hard-nosed way, but still."
