Thirty-Four Bells: [Voice]

[simplestgift]

 Perhaps the message from my superior was too subtle, but he would like to open the Britannia to anyone who would rather be away from the village if the threat the Malnosso have given should come to fruition.  He would like you to work, as we are short of crew, but work could mean practically anything from cooking to needlework to carrying buckets to hoisting, anything you can think of.  You needn't sign up as part of the crew.  We do have at least one cannon to provide some defense.

We sail tomorrow.  Any who wish to come aboard should be there by eight o'clock in the morning with whatever belongings you wish.  There is more than enough room.

[In other words, they're offering to take refugees.]

[She has no verbal response to this. But it warms her heart. It's good to see this kind of consideration, even with people she couldn't quite bring herself to completely trust. She'd attempt to take Masaomi on this, if she thought it wouldn't kill him to be that far away from Shikamaru while he was dealing with all these things. And she had other responsibilities.

Still, it makes her smile, and gives her something to be grateful for, in a week where her smiles have been rarer every day.]
