Half the Mediterranean has passed through these hands. Show me a good line and I forget to name a price.

I saw one ink line on this quay today, and my hand shook before I could think. I forgot to even name a price, so I suppose I really have grown old.

Zeynep HatunThis isn't the first time you've forgotten a price, Hoca. It's written in the counting house three times over.
Idris HocaHah. Hatun, you only ever write down an old man's embarrassments.
KeremHoca, I already paid for that line.
Idris HocaCaptain, what you paid for was the paper. Not the hand that drew it.

Left elsewhere

Hah, Hatun. Are you pricing even my ink with those eyes?

Hah, old man. If someone had charted that palm of yours, it would have lasted a hundred years at sea.

Just name me one shoal. My chart still has a blank spot.
