Tal kept an eye over the rail to make sure Soh made it up, while Boreal watched attentively from below, ready to leap to her aid if she slipped. Their vigilance turned out to be unwarranted as their young friend soon joined them aloft and the courier offered a hand to pull her into the boat.
Unlike a seaborne vessel the Peregrine held fairly steady as she floated, shifting only slightly with the breezes that chased beneath the trees of the Greatwood. Tal grinned and led Soh to the bow where he began to pull up the anchor. "Like a water ship, basically. She takes some o' her speed from th'winds - or will, when I drop 'er sails - an' she's got a big sail-like rudder t'help her turn into 'em." He stowed the anchor and then began moving purposefully around the deck, untying and retying ropes and letting the main sail partially down, along with two smaller ones. The ship began to move slowly as the breeze caught the canvas and he leapt over to the wheel. "Aside from th'magic makin' her float and helpin' her go faster than winds alone, it's not that different from travelin' at sea." The Peregrine began a slow coast above the Symphony with Tal steering it nimbly between the branches of the larger trees that reached out over the water.
