[PQ+] Where the rum has gone

idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword

Oh good, Flora's still mad. Koa cringes inwardly, well aware that the girl has a unique ability to drive him absolutely nuts (in more ways than one), and that if things stay this prickly it will be a long voyage indeed. But there's little he can do here and now, so he shrugs off her barbed words, affecting a smile to mask his annoyance. "I thought it would be a good chance to help out. Maybe you can teach me some tricks." It's an olive branch, sort of, and genuinely offered.

Also, Koa wouldn't mind getting lucky on this trip.

But then there are screaming sharks, probably the weirdest thing he's encountered on this trip (so far). The voices have Koa springing into action, the tall young man immediately running to see if someone has fallen into the sea. He only calms when he sees the general nonchalance of his companion, panic replaced by confusion. "Shouldn't we help whoever's down there?" he asks of the more knowledgable Torchers, brows furrowed and fingers clenched, white-knuckled, on the rail. All he can see are sharks caught in ice; the last thing he wants is for someone to be drowning underneath it all.

Koa is useless confused!
