Hello, I wish to ask for a boat. How is the sea trade in this world? I know the world I used to live in is gone, but the storm did not take away my skills on navigation and sea travel. I grew up as a son of a crabber and became a smuggler, and then a knight. Still, I know more of the sea than I do of anything else.

(( Sometimes. It's complicated. ))

I appreciate the help.

Thank you,

Davos Seaworth

as far as i know there isnt any
all the fog around the island means that nobody can sail past it and nobody ever has

i wanted to do that too
my dads a ship captain back home and i grew up in a fishing village so
im pretty comfortable on the ocean

but everyone tells me you cant get past the fog

[wheresmyfingerbones]

(( Well that's bad news. ))

I am sorry to hear it. So you can't even travel along the coast for travel?

[ayes]

oh you can probably do that
but you just cant sail away from the island

I'm afraid the only waters I've come by are those at Flona Cove, and I cannot recall any ships. My apologies that I'm of no help, though it is good to see our lord Stannis has a companion at last.

(( He didn't realize Ser Loras was here. But which one? Davos was told of the two Westeros. ))

I am sorry to hear that. I have hoped to put some of my old trades to some good use and employment, but it appears that's not the case.

[triplerose]

I've no doubt Olympia will provide you some opportunity. I assume, of course, you've chosen Olympia as your home.

[ Well... that's a rather familiar name she'd not expected to see. Is it a sign that perhaps more of her own people would soon walk these lands? The happiness over a more familiar face isn't feigned one bit. ]

It's good to hear you're awake, ser Davos. [ Jon never made mention of his advisor's awakening--did he know? ] Have you spoken with Jon yet? He walks these lands, as well.

As for the boat, I've not seen a port for you to take advantage of, but that means little. I imagine there are neutral territories we've not yet heard of who use the sea to their advantage.

(( The dragon queen of the east. Davos last heard of her in a dumpy tavern in White Harbor, talking of how sailors encountered her and her court . . . as well as three dragons. ))

Briefly. I am afraid we had some confusion of a Davos he knew that I am certain I am not.

WHAT ARE ALL YOUR PLANS FOR THE BOAT, SMUGGLER?

[ he is mostly curious and hardly angry. yet the text has a habit of making all seem as though he is yelling at them. ]

Re: text | un: stormsend

[wheresmyfingerbones]

(( Davos just rolls with it, like he always does. ))

Mostly to make do on a honest trade, Your Grace. Before I was a smuggler I've learned of my father's crabbing.

[ This is what draws Theon out onto the network for the first time since returning from stasis. He doesn’t type and doesn’t show his face, but there’s a hollow note in his voice that wasn’t there the last time they spoke. ]

There is none.

[ Asha would have said if there were ports or sea trade to take advantage of. She wanted to build a boat and sail beyond that fog. Victarion likely would have wanted the same. All Theon wants is to remain Theon Greyjoy, but he can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy that this man should know more of the sea than a Greyjoy of Pyke. It still hurts that all of that was stripped from him. ]

They've landlocked you without truly doing so. They don’t want to risk the chance of you escaping.

[wheresmyfingerbones]

(( Ah, Theon. ))

What is there to escape to? The worlds we once called home are gone.

Where would you go on a boat?

[wheresmyfingerbones]

Perhaps trading, or fishing. Even crabbing. The trades of the sea I know well.

There's not a lot of sea action going on around here.

If there was, maybe I could get the pirate on my couch out of the house more often.

[wheresmyfingerbones]

I was afraid of that. I can learn a new trade here if I must, but I prefer to the sea. Perhaps one day the fog will lift.

No, but thank you.

Pirates is hard enough as it is, and I heard the stories of krakens drowning ships.

[inaurare]

I know of no shipwrights, sir, but perhaps you might try Flona Cove? Their boats are mostly used for navigating the lagoons, so I am not sure how hardy they are, but perhaps it might be possible to purchase one?

[wheresmyfingerbones]

A fine suggestion. Have you been there? What it is like?

voice | un: sparkler

[flashystyle]

Why in the Maker would you ever want to traverse these waters? There's enough that wants to kill us, can kill us, qute violently, on land that I shudder thinking of the depths.

voice

[wheresmyfingerbones]

It's a mere question. But why not? I am no explorer, nor do I chart maps, but even I know the importance of pushing the horizon to find new lands or new oceans.

I wouldn't mind someone smuggling me out to a sunny, warm island.

I agree on that.

Ser Davos,

I am glad to see you here, for my brother's sake. I am not certain what all he's told you about the oddities of this place, but I am glad he has a friend in you.

Or at least he did, as far as I know and remember. Stannis and I have some differing memories of Westros.

Yours,
Renly Baratheon
