Chapter 144: Top Uncommon Item - Jet Wing!
The captain's cabin on Actaea was almost as wide as the ship's width.
Towards the stern, there were bolted windows, waves threatening to blast their way in through them.
The moment Kai entered, his gaze went to the dark sea, undulating like a black sheet of silk beyond the windowpanes.
He couldn't help but think that just two weeks before, he was as unfamiliar with the sea and ships as a maiden with blood before her first period.
Now, it had become a routine, and yet, the thrill persisted.
Against the wall, next to the window-lain stern wall of the ship, lay a bed as befitted the captain of a small trading vessel.
Not too extravagant, but adorned with colors bright enough to boast of the post and power.
In the middle of the room was a square table with two chairs, large enough for two men to sit and have dinner without their knees hammering at each other.
Meg was sitting on one chair with her back to the windows.
Their eyes matched.
-/Be seated,/- Kai said, seeing her getting up. -/Tomorrow, by dusk, we will have our first guests, if I am not wrong about it. Galleys are a luxury freeriders and traders can't afford. Nor I am expecting the Contestants to have them.
