[going to take a closer look at the fountain first]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ It is indeed only a circular basin with a stone vase centered, from which the water burbles down into the basin from. It seems as if there was once a much grander design considering the lighter outlines on the edge of the basin, but had been scaled down for whatever reason. In any case, the basin's wide edge provides comfortable seating. ]

[ The water itself is clear and clean. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[this is a nice fountain '-']

[leaning over a little to run his hand through the water]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ It is cool and refreshing! ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[feels cool and refreshed!]

[making his way toward the ship]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ This ship is small! It only looks big enough to fit two people with comfortable spots to sit. But it certainly looks stable and ready to go if only the sail were pulled up. If you look down, it's also floating in midair, bobbing only ever so slightly. It also smells like pure sugar. ]

[ From above you, you hear a "Bya?" ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[what]

Mikage?

[looks up]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ Up on the small crow's nest is something peeking out. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[smiles]

Hello up there. I remember you.

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ The babydragon perks and jumps out of the crow's nest to flop on your head and shoulders. ]

Yes!

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

Are you the captain of this ship?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

Yes.

[ Your hair is getting pat patted down. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[laughs a little]

Then, what are our bearings, Captain?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

Bya!

[ The babydragon neatly flops off your head to glide with outstretched wings onto the deck, patpatting the railing invitingly. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[follows along, moving over to the railing]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ The babydragon steps back further to give him room to climb in, looking eager and excited. ]

[ A rainbow cat pops out from one of the ship's compartments and meows in greeting. '^' ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[going ahead and climbing in, going to see about that sail]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ The sail is rigged to a simple rope pulley and looks as though it would take little effort to lift up. But just stepping inside the ship, you immediately feel lighter and happier. There is a bubbling urge to laugh or smile, and your worries seem not so important. ]

[ The babydragon pyas happily and tugs at the tether holding the ship to the railing. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[this is a good feeling '-'!]

[hoisting the sail up, humming a little under his breath]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ As the sail goes up, something falls to the deck with a clatter! ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

What was that?

[taking a look]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ It's a very delicate looking crown made of silver and bits of gold. ]

[ The ship rises as you're busy looking at that, the babydragon flitting here and there to get the ship ready for departure. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[popping that into the inventory for now, moving over to the babydragon]

Is there anything I can assist with, Captain?

Re: THE COURTYARD

[dramatispersonae]

[ The babydragon perks and nods, turning to look at the rainbow cat. ]

[ Who at that very moment is nosing and nudging out a telescope. ]

Re: THE COURTYARD

[oneknightstands]

[nods]

Yes, sir.

[heading over to take a look out it]
