Refraining, and only because he agreed to her terms, she arched her brow again, following the trail of broken ass looking sails and boat towards the main portion of the sand. “Sooo…you decided to just go out on your own,” and then she narrowed her gaze, pinpointing at him. Even Melita, who could alter her disposition and motivations with the drop of a hat, knew better than to take such a risk – and she’d been flying with Jack and the Ark for years before getting her own skyship.
Had Kaisel sunk or drowned out there, she might’ve called it divine justice or karma or hilarious, but she kept that to herself too. “So next time, go with someone. It’s dangerous to do all that alone when you don’t know enough.”

Rolling her shoulders to warm them back up to the menial labor, she went back to the cleaning portions, laughing as he tried to pilfer through her reasoning. “Nah. I just like the place and the view. Makes for a nice backdrop for a dull chore." Scrubbing again, she concentrated on the effort, grumbling some other curses under her breath before addressing the Accepted again. "What about you? Did you have a choice or did the boat lead you here?"
