Description:
Emerald nods, and hurries off to find Ruby. She is of course, in the kitchen. Emerald tells Ruby of the situation, and asks the chef if she can be excused. He gives a grunt and a nod, and the pair go downstairs and immediately begin packing their things.
Emerald can’t decide where to put his bag. He thinks near the door might be the best bet, but having at the bed might be okay as well since they’ll start passing through the strait around the time they’ll be wanting to sleep.
Ruby sees Emerald paces back and forth, placing it at both places and makes a small chuckle. Embarrassed, Emerald decides to leave it by his bed. Ruby copies him, and then says she’s going to go back up to the kitchen. Before she leaves she gives him a punch on the arm and says that everything will be okay.
Emerald then decides to go see if he can find the Captain or Bo to see if they can still avoid this path. Emerald finds Bo first, and after discussing it with him he confesses to Emerald that Joyride’s reaction concerns him as well, but the Captain is the Captain, and what he says goes. Bo even tried chatting about it himself to his father, but he didn’t relent.
Emerald tries to discuss things further, but Quicksilver comes up from the side and asks if he can speak with Bo for a moment, and they walk off. Emerald, a little curious because of the previous conversation the new recruit had with Joyride, tries to follow, but they just go to speak about some sort of actual business involving the replacement of some of the boards on the side of the ship where the cannonball hit.
Emerald goes back to his room and sits on his bed. Unsure of what to do. He is pretty sure he won’t be able to do much to help, but he still has a few hours before the enter the strait.
