Left two fingers in the sea. Haven't gotten through half my nagging yet.

Even with two fingers missing, I tie a better knot than the lot of you. Go retie it.

KiranI put all my talent into powder instead of knots!
AmelThat talent burned the sail down last month.
KiranThat was the wind's fault, really.
TheoI retied mine, could you take a look, just once...
AmelThis one'll do. Just this once.

Hung a blanket on the chain ring down here. If anyone asks who hung it, tell them the bilgewater did.

YuanaI replaced the plank under the ring.
AmelThen you're bilgewater too.
SelviaThe blanket was damp and the plank was new. I didn't ask about either.
AmelThat's not 'didn't ask.' You're asking right now.
Selvia...The scum washed off well, at least.

Left elsewhere

Left the salve tin by the door. Don't put it on, it'll fester, missy.

So you can tell that much. Fine, fester then.

The clank of chains dragging carried clear to the far end of the deck at dawn. Everyone pretended to sleep through it.

My eyes were open. I was checking where a blanket had gone.

It always bothers me, how people come out of your mouth measured in fathoms.

Someone who's never gone hungry, talking about starving.

When the nail rusts, you're the one scraping it off.

Don't go trying to trade on another ship's boy.
