I suppose I ought to mention what transpired upon the Aunt Hare on this day as well. Sensei and I met with Captain Siesko. It seems that, as Sensei's pupil, the captain expects great things from me. I do not intend to disappoint. Once Sensei had left, the Captain could tell that I was out of sorts and he told me that we could speak more of business later. My first task was to ensure that all of the documentation is in order before we set sail. It was easy enough.
After taking some time to collect myself, I returned to Captain Siesko once again in order to hopefully present myself more favorably. He seemed to empathize with me, however, which has put me on guard. This is a man who can see through a person’s facade and get straight to the heart of a matter. At least, that is the impression I have been left with. I have not spoken with Captain Siesko at length, but he bears himself in a way that is in many ways not dissimilar to the way that Sensei carries herself. I think that he and I shall get along well.
Captain Siesko introduced me to some of the crew members as well, as they would to a certain extent be my coworkers for the next three months. The Boatswain is a Tiefling man named Malopher. The captain failed to tell me his surname, but I suppose for a Tiefling familial ties could be a sensitive subject. Idle thoughts aside, Mister Malopher seems to be a rather straightforward individual who takes his duties seriously. I doubt we shall have any issues with one another.
The motion of the ship across the Argentian Ocean is strange to me. I have not needed to cross a large body of water before, so the way that it bobs and sways is disorienting. I understand how those of weaker constitution might get sick from it, as a number of my fellow passengers seem to have. I must acclimate myself to these motions, however, lest it ruin my handwriting. I will also need to better acquaint myself with the anatomy of the Aunt Hare, as part of the documentation I will need to process is our shipping manifest. I imagine I will need to cooperate with Mister Malopher to some extent in order to ensure that our supplies are properly rationed out as well. Hopefully I will be able to effectively communicate with him without the need to resort to alternative communication methods.
It seems that my position within the crew is also sufficient for me to have a private cabin. It is hardly luxurious. Efficient would perhaps be a better way to describe the space, but the cabin is private, and so I am grateful to have it. I found a way to fasten the shield so that it shall not startle me awake in the middle of the night by falling. There is enough room for my other supplies as well, though perhaps it is just so. I imagine in the coming days it shall begin to feel like home, or at least as close an approximation as I am likely to find outside of Saptagiri.
