you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you
& the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land

Now very damp indeed (but also free of guano), you obediently make your way back to Vervain's side. Once there you of course shake like a dog to get some of the remaining moisture from your hair, fixing her with a mischievous grin and leaning over to plant a kiss upon her cheek as you take back the bag of rocks. The salt water has washed away the remainder of your irritation; you pull your shirt and jacket back on, then throw your arm around her waist, tugging your woman close.
"Drink sounds great." So you begin to meander your way back towards town, intending to hit up one of the beachside bars. There's a few on the outskirts of Haulani, near the 'Road, one of which you stop at, gallantly pulling out Vai's seat before flagging down a bartender for two Whatever's Goods and a Catch of the Day and some pūpū of poke and tempura shrimp.
The secluded table overlooks the waves, and you move your chair to be closer to Vai's - for the view, of course. "So," comes to your tongue as you wait for the drinks and food to arrive, "Th'people who came back. Know any'uv 'em?"
