Auden's grouchiness was something the courier could relate to, and their love of animals.
Even after Soh finished he didn't speak up for a little while, steering the skyboat with a deft hand until he finally brought the little craft around and began to head back the way they'd come. "I'm glad y'had them," he said eventually, breaking the comfortable silence a little sheepishly, as if uncertain whether to speak at all. "They sound really nice." An awkward statement of the obvious, but a sincere one as he tied the wheel off and moved back to set the sails for their new course. "Was it them that taught y'how t'swim?"
