Ruby, Sari, and Myya were next to show up: a surprise, as we didn't expect beautiful Myya to join the rest of our harem. Lovely. Check in with Nick, ladies, and find Amy to get your room assignments. Don't be surprised if you hear unusual noises in my stateroom, just finish moving in and stow your gear.

Please return to the foredeck and make yourself comfortible; there's a wet bar and some great appetizers up there.

Jade and Jaden soon arrived; I turned Jaden over to Nick to get shaken down. Jade I took aside, and sat her down for a few minutes.

"Jade, I'm so happy we're going to have an opportunity to get to know each other better. It seems as though the few times we've had together have all been short or extreme. Can we make a plan, perhaps for later tonight after we've gotten 'Sailing Master'?"

"Yes, Master. Will we be a leaving soon?"

"Absolutely, Little Tiger," (her eyebrows rose, as she realized he knew).

Using my mind communications, I sent to her {"yes, Little Tiger, I know.... and approve}.

"We'll talk about this further later on, after supper." I said.
"AMY! Would you show JadeTiger to her stateroom, please?" She nodded with a smile, and took Jade by the hand.
